That's an interesting read. I love learning about the history of holidays, especially Christmas. I'll be watching a documentary on it within the next week or so. Interesting to read this from that Wikipedia article (the more things change, the more they stay the same):In her 1850 book "The First Christmas in New England", Harriet Beecher Stowe includes a character who complains that the true meaning of Christmas was lost in a shopping spree.Oh well. Merry Christmas, all!
