This Week's Perspectives November 24. And nothing brings out that neurosis like the holiday season.
Many people believe that the holidays run on money.
That's not entirely true. Sure, money is an important ingredient in our celebration of the holidays. But money is nothing more than grease on the skids, allowing the holidays to slide along at a brisk clip. Oh sure, we complain about the commercialization of the holidays and nod in agreement at the annual editorials about the absence of true holiday spirit. It's not that we're shallow, spiritually bankrupt people.
