I’m feeling rather Grinch-y this year. And proud of it!

What is Dr. Suess’s classic about? The fact that the holidays are about love, not stuff. A simple message, yet radical.

I am chastised for criticizing the “good cheer” in the malls and grocery stores and drug stores and gas stations this time of year.
But here’s the ugly truth folks: those “holiday displays” are all about displaying merchandise, not the holidays, and they are designed to take our money, not give us good cheer. So if being offended by marketers’ attempts to capitalize on a holiday that’s supposed to be about love makes me a Grinch, then color me green!

To that end, I want to see a movie. Normally I don’t have time, or want to waste the money, but this one looks good: What Would Jesus Buy? Here’s a review. And another from the NYT

It might be horribly offensive, but then, it can’t be any worse than the holidays have become..
