Sounds like the NYT needs to go back and re-read their Christmas stories... I thought the Grinch was the one who learned the lesson that Christmas can’t be bought in a store?

It just helps to highlight why capitalist economies and being green struggle to mix (the current talks in Bali are a perfect example) - we live in a system predicated on constant growth through consumption. We need to all do our bit by stepping back and slowing down. Taking time to appreciate what you have and not what you don't seems to be part of what the Christmas message should be about. What's un-American (or un-British etc) about that? I agree with Christina.

That sounds like an inadvertently revealing comment to me. And we <i>liberals</i> are supposedly the ones who hate America?
