Christmas season is a license to feel happy and rich. Is it possible to celebrate that too much? I think so.

Two examples: [A] That Xmas tree for the price of 11 million dollars in an Arabian Hotel on the one (rich) hand and [B] on the other (not so funny) hand: British soldiers performing on their Royal Navy warship a silly version of Mariah Carey‘s Christmas song.

Are the balls REAL GOLD, or what? The Wise Men knew better than to be that tacky, I think! Just my “poor” (ha,ha) opinion, of course! Anyway, I am so grateful for the Liberace Christmas reminder posted here. I once asked my grandmother, “What if I played like that in church?” Her reply, “Maybe Old Man Simmons would wake up!”

Perverse! And the lady’s hairdo looks like a tinsel angel. Artificial as the whole hotel and Christmas tree. Thank you for this video.

That’s so sad. They could have saved $10.5 million by decorating the tree with a pretty string of lights. Then, they could have donated the $10.5 million to feed hungry children on Christmas Day.

maybe we should – instead of following Xmas kitsch – follow the rite of looking back this year’s landmarks – for example take a look on a TIME / LIFE magazine photo featuring one situation of this year’s world wide protests – often blocked by police and military…

That is one expensive tree. I probably would have spent the money on other things…where’s the real Christmas spirit?
