Amazing film... if you havnt.. you should...
http://wwjbmovie.com/
An examination of the commercialization of Christmas in America while following Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse (the end of humankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt.) The film also delves into issues such as the role sweatshops play in America’s mass consumerism and Big-Box Culture. From the humble beginnings of preaching at his portable pulpit on New York City subways, to having a congregation of thousands – Bill Talen (aka Rev. Billy) has become the leader of not just a church, but a national movement.
oh and yeah, stop shopping! This year for Christmas get your family something meaningful...give them more time and love and less insanely expensive gifts that will mean nothing to them eventually.
Peace :P

shave his beard? blasphemy.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
That is awesome
'Cause Jesus doesn't buy cheap, mass-market components; but he also doesn't need McIntosh's extremely expensive Top Of The Line components, either.
Jesus knows how to rock his house!
Panic may resent it
Ignorance may deride it
Mailice may distort it
But there it is

At age 28, I've been at the point for years that I have no clue what to wish for christmas. I really dont need anything, and if I do, I buy it. Personal gifts are much better.

Well i think thats the whole point of this. I don't think its a religious statement at all (this movie) Its actually quite the opposite. I think the whole get up and idea stems from religious type things thats why i find it to be not only informative but entertaining
and glad to hear ure on the meaningful gift train too
