So the Xmas deco in our Orchard Road has generated a lot of discussion abt if it is too commercialised (too Disney-ish) n not enough "meaning", by that some meant the religious meaning, if Xmas.
Honestly, I never did take Xmas as a religious celebration. To start with Santa Claus is not even a religious figure. Is he?
It is a fairu tale though the birth of Christ on Charisma day is recorded as a fact n the Christians do, n should, celebrate it. At churches n places of worship. At the homes of fellow believers.
Yet, trying to find religious fulfilment at the shopping districts, streets n malls will b too idealistic as marketers hv made every day a reason n season to spend money n buy, buy, buy!
The success is measured by how much money had the biz generated n not how many shoppers had seen the lights n b respobsible shoppers!
So, good to learn of the "discussions n debates" even. Just remember salvation is not delivered fr shopping malls!
Chill. Relax n enjoy the shopping!! No more. No less.
