Meetings # 3,455 - Charles Paidock, Paul Rescino and Tim Bolger present an analysis of the holiday.
        Christmas Day falls on a Monday this year and small businesses will no doubt be run off their feet on the Saturday and Sunday before the big day as last-minute gift buying and food preparation reaches fever pitch. But according to figures released retail experts, they’ll also need to be at full alert the weekend prior.

        Charles will show that materialism and rabid consumerism have taken over the holiday, people overspend on gift giving, get dangerously drunk, with retail employees working overtime on holidays without overtime pay.

        Tim follows and presents a counter opinion on how the holiday serves to stimulate a free market capitalist economy, says don't be a Scrooge and shop 'till you drop.

        Paul Rescino follows Tim and presents the "true meaning of Christmas" and why we celebrate Christs Birthday.  

        A good time will be had by all with the diversity of views being presented, and in the true College of Complexes tradition, a rousing  round of debate and argument will be had by all.
