Christmas is the nexus of Christian fundamentalism and capitalism |

This is what my girlfriend and I talked about as we looked around at the gift boxes and crumpled up wrapping paper this morning. She made the comment and I really believe that it is true. Christmas has been co-opted by corporate America and the radical right.

But my g/f got a huge box of stuff from her sister, so she got to open gifts this morning. We made an agreement not to exchange gifts this year.

But you wouldn't know it by Christmas's hyper-commercialization.
