Xmas capitalist blues

i never thought that i'd be saying this, but can't we just put the "CHRIST" back in CHRISTmas and let the religious holiday be handled by the experts of sunday church operations? the festive lights i dig, but the stress-scorned shoppers, their aggressive mall-navigating tactics, and the lack of unique words behind all the greetings makes me wonder about this season again...

do i need money to get to argentina?

what about NYC? dec 27 - 30th?
