Christmas is aesthetically catastrophic. The lights are mostly ok, but everything else is garish, mishapen. Trees dying in your apartments, brain dead sing song blaring from every speaker, inane symbolism long unmoored from any spiritual roots. Wake me when it's over.

OK, the books might have been a good manual for that civilization, but we are no longer an agrarian society so it is false from a modern perspective. So I am failing to understand how following xmas in 2019 would be a healthy spiritual experience?

When we lost religion, we realized that rationalism is fascist and cannot carry us. We became romantic, which means we replaced God with Love, but the ship falls apart. The question of how to solve the crisis of meaning without bringing back religion is still unresolved.
