Cass, Spot on again as someone who has to deal with the effects of 
"over-spending credit card misuse" and debt problems for thousands of people 
who are pressurized into getting themselves into debt because"the kids NEED 
TO HAVE" the current "X-box" Computer game,gadget, or whatever is the 
current fad, "oh, other kids are getting this so I want one as well to keep 
up with them and look cool." Yes it is totally materialistic in the West, TV 
ads are geared to instil the desire to "have",peer group pressure has a lot 
to do with it "must have this type of clothing, branded, designer label:of 
course,Some of the people that I have to deal with are so gullible into 
falling into the Ad-man's hype, it is difficult to wean them out of this 
decreasing spiral. I have seen some harrowing cases over the years, in what 
is supposed to be an affluent society. Perhaps if Christmas was like the 
Olympic games,once every 4 years it would be better. it would give Some a 
fighting chance. The religious side of Yuletide has diminished,almost to a 
point of irrelevance these days.The big conglomerates now control the 
desires and needs of people. Santa Claus, an advert for COCA COLA since the 
1930's,Christmas cards, good way of boosting profits for the post office.I 
am sure that you can name a few other multi nationals of similar 
persuasions.
HO,HO, flamingHO.
