It's been Christmas vacation. I haven't been writing stuff. I've been playing with my daughter, playing with my toys, watching movies, and drinking beers. You should be too (differing in particulars perhaps, but the same categorically).
However, I will take this time for a brief reflection. Some people make the yearly lament that Christmas has become too commercial and materialistic. I will not deny this entirely. But, there is a difference between material things, and materialism.
