I think that is part of it (I’m 63). But I think our culture is tiring of it as well.
You and I attack it the same way.
However, you brought up something that I forgot about. My negativity is not entirely benign. The “much poorer” part hits it. Back when I was about 30, I started seeing the whole thing as a scam to get us to buy a bunch of stuff for each other that we don’t really want or need. I decided to refuse to play. I absolutely HATE being manipulated. And hate it more when I participate anyway due to peer pressure.
I forgot about that. I LITERALLY see the whole US Christmas thing as the equivalent of the money changers, who’s tables Jesus overturned.
I couldn’t agree more. I think of that verse in the Old Testament where the Lord says, “I hate your festivals and feasts.” I do think he honors Christmas for those who acknowledge it for what it’s supposed to be, though.
