Why do Americans have to overdo their Christmas decorations to the point
that their homes look like Las Vegas casinos?
Tasteless, to say the least.
I know of no other country where the Christmas "decorations" are so
overstated and tasteless.
Why these energy-wasting excesses of houses covered in blinking lights? All
that is needed is a Star of Bethlehem and advent
candles (you know, you light one candle on the first Sunday of Advent, two
candles the second Sunday, and so on). Add to that a tastefully decorated
Christmas tree, and you have all the Christmas decorations you need. The
environment will thank you for it. |

-I think the thing is that people have different ideas about "tastful". Who
decides what is enough? You? Why? -The simplest solution would be to add energy taxes that made energy much
more expensive. That would force a quick end to such wasteful practices.
Also make the gasoline cost $4/gallon (by raising gasoline taxes), and we'll
soon be rid of all Excursions, Suburbans, Tahoes, Expeditions, and Durangos
on the road! -We overdo Xmas decorations just like we do foreign aid. We should trim back
on the first, and eliminate the second. Then you could whine with pain, not
just whine -Here in Ireland this phenomenon is just beginning but people are really
taking to it with a vengeance. I can't say they're tasteful but they sure cheer up
an Irish winter.It's good to suspend taste and go for the tacky
and childish for a while. Drink helps too. -It's a pity that the American non-culture is spreading all around the world,
destroying the native cultures everywhere.Drinking is ok, in moderation - I like beer (real beer, not American) |
