LZ Granderson: What’s wrong with the commercial Christmas? I’m lighting an artificial log in the fireplace tonight

LZ Granderson : Some people say Christmas these days is too commercial.

LZ: It's never been easier to find an Ugly Christmas Sweater at Goodwill , but now all major retailers carry them.

He says people who complain about the commercialization of the holidays have their own kitschy notion about what these holidays should be, and it's far more ahistorical than what they are so upset about.

Lz: It would not be Christmas without it.

It shows Santa gazing into a snow globe that contains the baby Jesus , surrounded by Mary and Joseph and all the rest. Or maybe it is the Holy Family gazing into a snow globe containing Santa . I’m not sure which. In either case, if that doesn’t put the Christ back in Christmas , I don’t know what does..
