Christmas appears silly, even infantile; worshiping a baby in a manger. But at one time it was more tradition, now it is more escapism than tradition.
To digress a bit, the greatest irony to me reviewing the last 40 years is how commercialized the counterculture has
become. The whole idea was that they were supposed to offer an
alternative to hyper-commercialized culture-- instead they ended
up being even more tasteless, yet just as commercial, as the
world they rejected.
So, anyway, Christmas is as harmless as you can get.
