Scrümbled Eggs 
All jokes aside, remember what Christmas is really about, people.
Rich people being terrorized by spectres until they agree to pay their employees a living wage.

This video is very informative about the origins of Christmas and how it became such a capitalist and consumerist holiday and also quite inspiring on how we can try to celebrate it going forward in a better way.

Why We Need a War on Christmas
The Kath in the Hat (she/her)@julia_ @scrumble_eggs I think it’s different in countries like mine that don’t have thanksgiving right before Xmas. In Australia Xmas isn’t a “nuclear family” deal so much as extended family getting together and eating a lot (& then getting together with the other side of the family and doing it again. Repeat as necessary). As well as way too many gifts, but I feel like that’s gradually changing. A lot of families now do a Kris Kringle thing instead.
@Kath67 @scrumble_eggs I guess I wish everyone cared less about buying copious amounts of expensive things they see on sale. There is so much waste when people get things they don't need or want. I wish people made gifts more often than buying them. It should be more personal all less about how much you can spend. Also would be nice if majority of people took the holidays as times to give to those in need in their community.
