Sorry you failed at raising kids and your trashy family failed also bro.

As I look at all this cheaply made stuff that my kids and their cousins won’t remember they got in 2 weeks as they ask for new gifts I remember the story of the little drummer boy. He had no gifts but he came to see the baby Jesus anyway. Thats the truest essence of Christmas. Not a new Nintendo switch.
I am 63, people have complained about the commercialism of Christmas for as long as I can remember, it is not a new thing.

Let's see What was he going for:
Materialism: a tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values.
Consumerism: the preoccupation of society with the acquisition of consumer goods.
Commercialism: practices and attitudes that are concerned with the making of profit at the expense of quality
Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

Moving Jesus birthday to meet a Roman pagan holiday is the true essence

Sounds like you are to blame for their cheap gifts

Capitalism has corrupted the spirit of Christmas
If you want to blame greed and materialism, I’ll go along with that. As soon as you find a cure for human greed you make sure and let us know.
Without capitalism, you’d be too worried about where your next meal is coming from to worry about “corrupting the spirit of Christmas”.

he's a fake russophile, or a dumb one, or both
he's just using the materialism argument to try and troll about capitalism

Was your upward mobility directly a result of your belief in Santa clause and the resulting wasteful spending by parents who could have saved and gotten themselves out of poverty if it hadn’t been for their belief that you needed crap to feel loved at Christmas?

It’s not capitalism. It’s consumerism, and it’s as old as advertising.
