No one seems to be talking about it, but it’s the truth, Back in the daywhen i was a young chapI used to see almost every house with Christmas lights , but in recent times that does not seem to be the case. Only a select few have lights, Has Jamaica lost the Christmas Spirit we once had?, have we become a sad nation? Nowadays Christmas isn’t about Christ, it’s all commercial, it’s all about the money, And i don’t necessarily think turning Christmas into something commercial was the best idea ever.
I guess the Grinch is one happy fellow now. Wikipedia defines Christmas as :
“Christmas is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. It refers both to the day celebrating the birth, as well as to the season which that day inaugurates, which concludes with the Feast of the Epiphany. The date of the celebration is traditional, and is not considered to be his actual date of birth. ”
Ask yourself this, is this what happens on Christmas?. As far as i can see Christmas is a Marketing Ploy, it is now very very very heavily Commercialized, all the companies are out to make a big buck. Oh well, Bye Bye Christmas, welcome Commercemas.
