the truth about santa
-jolly old St. Nicholas!
-Patron saint of Xmas! (aka the patron saint of
supply and demand)
-Mighty Tool of Globalization!
have you ever wondered why we have (or
sometimes obliged) to give gift during Christmas?
some would say because it is the season for
giving…if that is you basic philosphy, then you are
caught up in the web of deception by western
culture.
Christmas for all we know is based on the birth of
the ONe, the saviour…but for the contemporary
party poopers, it is the season of lanterns,
Christmas Tree, bright lights, toys and of Course
the big fat jolly man in a bright red suit with white
ruffles on the side, with reindeers and sleigh… and
it is nonetheless than the famous MR. Santa
CLAUS…
but have you ever wondered that this psycho hippie
in a red suit is a product of a growing culture of
Globalization? for some accounts there are
debatable facts about the origin of the real santa.
but for the general fact that we know, st. nicholas
was a bishop and his famous name was first
brought to the new world by the great Columbus
on Dec. 6, 1492. and with that occurence, the
kindly saint had a different image.
the hippie fat man in a red suit on the growing
contemporary world economy had a major
marketing surgery, he was introduced by the
famous Anglo-saxon clan as symbol of Father
Christmas. the unique trending of his popularity
gave boost to sales of xmas products all over the
world, which the list includes, toys, trees, and
stuffs dont normally sell on normal occasions.
the life of jolly old nicholas was a hard one, yet he
had unselfishly serve people(especially the
children) but for the love of money, the good name
of the poor saint is used as a tormenting weapon
for the buying public (specifically parents from the
middle and lower class) who had to undergo, major
financial torture to fulfill the truth about the mythical
fat guy(who is by the way immortal)who flies with
the reindeers and sleigh(and he doesnt need a
passport and radars cant pick him up) and stops
by at your chimney(or roofs maybe) and goes
staright in your house(and he is not caught in the
alarm, there is something wrong with technology)
and gives gift to every child who has been naughty
and nice(how on earth could he monitor all
psychological patterns of these monsters) and
children keeps on believing that he is real. How
small minds do we have for the future?
the economic and psychological effect of the santa
fever really chills my spine, and the diversity of this
hippie is also noticable, he could speak almost
every language on earth (even those countries that
dont even celebrate christmas) and worst part,
Santa invades the only grasp of the child’s mind,
which is truth to its surrounding. the idea of santa
today pushes parentsto lie to their very off spring
that Santa is real.
this christmas is not a christmas brought by love,
peace, hope and joy. it is now brought by a single
entity of business and it is the word PROFIT.
our food, and everything that we could get our
hands on this christmas is produced by people
who gets low wages and inhuman working
conditions despite technological advancements
and labor codes.
this christmas is not anymore a celebration, but a
rampage and outrage of the inhuman marketing of
christmas symbols. this christmas is an outpour
of global economy(which is by the way still ruled
by America and china is fast approaching to beat
JOes)
as you open your gift, and as you wear your new
clothes and shoes, as you eat your christmas
dinner, and as you recieve your christmas
bonuses, think, and feel this… is it really worth
celebrating? can you celebrate while some suffer?
is that justice?….
merry christmas…light, peace and love…
