Seriously? There are Christmas lights and nativity scenes all over the place. Christmas decreasing and Christmas trees. Fucking Mariah Carey.
These right wing propagandist pearl clutching concern ttrolls are a fucking scourge on Canadian society.

All of it basically boils down to “Christmas used to be fun and have seasonal stuff and now it doesn’t”. Most of the genuinely decent sounding points they make about things they miss seem to be more attributed to a lack of social network in the area (ie no caroling, no groups of neighbours out around a fire, etc) or to a lack of time/money in the school system OR desired by the parents (ie less christmas concerts, etc).
They come VERY close, for NatPo, to commenting on the commercialization of christmas, but manage to swing it back around to being our fault (not the corps), so its still a blah, uninspiring article.
That just sounds like the author whining about not being a child anymore. Christmas isn’t something that happens for them now, it’s something they have to make happen for others, and man does that just kill the Christmas spirit! Wah wah wah!
Does the author explain what’s stopping them from organizing some carolling?
Ha, nope! That’d involve some introspection and realization that they’re partially responsible for the change in Christmas.
It’s only Christmas when someone else is doing the work!!1!~
