Do you think this is a better name for Christmas: ‘Cashmas’, my word of the day from the Urban dictionary?

description:
The primary holiday celebrated in capitalist cultures. Generally observed around the winter solstice, Cashmas is a celebration of materialism in which its celebrants attempt to flatter or impress relatives, friends, and acquaintances with the extent of their purchasing power. (The “power to get”.) Cashmas co-opts signs, symbols, and sympathies from other religious holidays of the winter season to mask its foundation of conspicuous consumption. In the United States, where the holiday is most actively observed, Cashmas traditionally begins on “Black Friday”, that is, the day following Thanksgiving Thursday in November. Holiday observations traditionally end on January 2nd, but may arguably be said to extend through “Super Bowl Sunday” of professional American football. This event can occur as late as the month of February.

Up until the last couple hundred years or so, or should I say before then, Christmas was not allowed to be celebrated.

It is a solemn day not one of festivities. What makes it festive is its pagan roots.

Cashmas is one word. Daniel Boorstin referred to it as a “consumption festival” designed not around the advent of Jesus but around the consumption of material things and drunken orgies. Which is why it was banned as a holiday. Because the advent was forgotten.

Personally, its a made-up holiday. A monk picked the date at the behest of a pope.
