The religion behind the season...the HOLIDAY season...

Ever think of the Christmas/Holiday season being the ultimate in religious expression/practice?  Think of it...Santa Claus is our God.

  • He is omniscient, knows if all of us have been good or bad
  • He is omnipresent, can deliver gifts all across the world in one night
  • He rewards our behavior, or punishes it
  • We sing songs/hymns praising his arrival and prowess
  • We spend time in worship in the cathedrals called shopping malls and stores
  • We offer up to him our children, ensconcing them in his bosom...
  • We have effigies, idols of our God, Santa Claus everywhere, yards, homes, shops, schools, etc.
  • We pray to him/write letters requesting him to intercede for us and bless us with showers of gifts


Deny these assertions.  I dare you.

Share your unique economics experiences. What did you have to give up to gain that which at the moment seemed so necessary to you? Imperfect information spanked you and now diminishing marginal utility smacks you upside the head, eh?
