Have Yourself a Material Little Christmas

Have a holly jolly Christmas! Shop your brains out! If you can, give to the charities that give to the people who can’t shop their brains out! But have a holly jolly Christmas and spend spend spend spend! Because if you don’t, people will lose their jobs. People call greed wanting to buy to too many things, but really, greed is hoarding all that money. Spending is sharing. Hoarding is not. If you don’t spend, companies don’t make money and people work at companies. And if companies don’t make money, people don’t work. And if people don’t work, they don’t make any money. And if they don’t make any money, they don’t have a decent place to live or food to eat and clothes to wear unless they go to charitable organizations that give away food and shelter and clothes (and toys) to the people who don’t work or have money. But these charities are only able to provide to the people who don’t have money by getting money from taxes (people who work involuntarily donating their money) and donations (people who work who voluntarily donate their money). There are billions of people in the world and unless we spend, they don’t work. And if they don’t work, they don’t eat. So please, until a better solution comes along, feed the world by spending your money and not being greedy. Ho ho ho! And have yourself a material little Christmas!
