Like Thanksgiving it's all about money. 💰 And it's a plot to give to the rich and not the poor. And we are forced as always, to give to greedy corporations and monopoly stores and retailers. Forget about spending time with the people who are homeless and in mental despair. Forget about creating more jobs and economic security for all communities. Spend that hard earn money dammit. Your money. 😂 Comments.

@Zonuss The Christmas holiday where gifts are given is based on a clause in the 4th Commandment that states = "And none shall appear before Me empty-handed."
Exodus 34:19-20 (NKJV) = 19 “All [a]that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep. 20 But the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you will not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem.
“And none shall appear before Me empty-handed."
It is meant to minic the scene where the wise men brought gifts to baby Jesus to signify that they regarded him as God. Today we give gifts to those that we love, without elevating them to a deity.
