But while the regime's propaganda and coercion initially succeeded in changing public observance, the true Christian meaning of Christmas largely disappeared from public life under its influence.
This is also the case with most Christmas traditions today, most of which have attempted to incorporate culture and meaning into their agendas. Rome invented most of it, and everyone integrated their culture more and more. Like the christmas tree from elsas lothingen, the santa clause from the netherlands, the gift giving from the italina tradition, the color red from coca cola. Christmas is changing all the time and will change in the future. Sometimes for political reasons, sometimes to assimilate cultures.
That means finding meaningful work in your life and not doing fiat jobs to make fiat money. Finding meaningful work is one of the hardest parts of my life, I find.
Most people don't understand anarchism, they often misunderstand it as chaos or violence, but it is fundamentally about self-organization, voluntary cooperation, and resisting the corrupting influence of power. That's the self-responsibility we should all strive for!
They use this strategy at all levels of government, from local to federal, to avoid admitting potential cost savings. These morons can't handle budgets and should be shut down once and for all! Privatize them or get rid of them!
Sounds like Hevan! Do you have your own orchard? Friends with 60 apple trees, so we celebrate three times a year at their place. Apple blossom festival, harvest time and in winter apple punch festival or glög feast.
My mom kept my rocking horse and we are polishing it in February so my unborn child can play with it! So yeah, my mom is just as cool as your family.
I cannot wait to pass it on to the next generation. No fiat bullshit but realy well crafted wooden rocking horse.
Our brains evolved to crave information like sugar, but in the digital age, this craving leads to "intellectual obesity," where we consume endless low-quality "junk information" that distracts and clogs our minds.
I love this analogy!
I want to see the median amount spent! Since no one in my family ever spends a total of 500, and most of my friends are in the same ballpark, I want to see the median numbers. If some crazy rich guy buys his wife a new car for Christmas that costs $35,000, the average is going to go crazy.
