Even back in 1947, with Miracle on 34th Street, they were talking about the over commercialization of Christmas. Its not a recent thing.
” Its not a recent thing.”
Yet people continue to pursue the commercial holiday.
Often even their church.
The Original Miracle of 34th Street is my all time favorite Christmas Movie—there are others that are humorous like A Christmas Story or even Christmas Vacation, but Miracle is the best IMHO. Beats that Jimmy Stewart Slush factory by far...
