Mass is something we can all agree we care about, especially if it's
measured in Grams.

Lots of good stuff here to respond to, but it falls outside the scope of
this group (even for me, and that's saying something!). Grin. So rather
than delve into theology, I'll bow out. May God startle you with the joy of
Christ's Mass!

Ooops, did I sign into the Mordor Bicycle Owners Group by mistake?
Are some people seriously choosing an adult toy forum to preach against
materialism?
Seriously??
Oh, duh! I get it, you were being ironic!!! Silly me!
Happy Holidays everyone,

True Christmas is the Celebration of OneSelf as Christ , the symbol of The
Perfect Self, I AM that I AM . Free from want, for all is Perfect and in
Perfection there is no lack, hence, nothing to want of. The meaning of
"Heaven on Earth" .
So truly, every moment is "Christmas" :)

Deac, by definition a child can't be childish - only an adult can be.
A child's wants are innocent - that's how your father looks at your
bicycles.
Teaching personal sacrifice to a child at Christmas time is the opposite of
the gift message.

I'm not sure how to respond to this question, Ron. Is it a serious

simple answer is "No."

I've taken a whole other strategy with my kid.
He's plugged in, online, engaged, and has been for a long time. I doubt
it's a strategy that would work with every kid, but he's pretty inoculated

delay gratification. He lov
Well I own 5 flat screen TVs a PS4, Gameboy, ipad, kindle fire and all the

Everything is about moderation.

Patrick: agree wholeheartedly. Anton: good for you.
I don't have a TV -- find it hard to watch most movies without getting
bored or annoyed -- but daughter, alas, is very plugged in -- she lives
mostly with her mother. But her mother and I have, and I think effectively,
emphasized other values eno

Board games tend to not go on sale often or by a large %, so this is a good
opportunity to keep the kids away
Have they gotten more obnoxious since then, or have I just become
sensitized to them from not having them?
There is a lot less money being spent of televised ads. Production quality
is way down.
Big money is in the cinema spots that then morph over to Youtube -

Great question, Anton. When I see ads I grew up with and thought nothing of
at the time, they seem obnoxious now
Speaking of media, we also find that after living essentially ad-free since
2006 (as not only do we not have a TV, but we also only listen to college
radio stations of which there is an abundance with great programming in our
area), it's become unbearable listening to ads when spending holidays
Amen, Patrick. We've been TV-free since 2006, right after my second
daughter was born. Will never go back.
And the kids don't have phones, video games, or iPads. But they have more
bookshelves chock full of books than their parents do, and a big old
fashioned chalk board salvaged from school
Precisely, Ron. And people can inadvertently promote childishness in their
children by accepting it rather than challenging it. I'm not saying that is
happening in any specific instance here -- but the commercialization of
Christmas, and specifically the direct marketing to kids via kids shows
Deac, child and childish are not the same thing.

Retail is 5 bucks for a 5 pack of these little rubber toys, last I saw the

Ahhh, but if their Christmas depends on getting a specific toy, then they
are more likely to discover real Christmas in the toy's absence than it's
presence. Though I'm not sure how I'll make it to the New Year should I not
