| my two cents, episode 2 |
[Nov. 23rd, 2007|02:16 pm] |
Madonna has been getting flak for "canceling Christmas" at her house. Why she's getting crap for it, I have no idea. First, she's made it clear that she's not a Christian. So why is anyone surprised that she doesn't practice a Christian holiday? Millions of people don't celebrate Christmas. Granted, it's easy to forget that given there are a ba-zillion crazy people shopping today and the media loves to ram this holiday up our asses, but, still. It's not a freakish thing to pass on Christmas. I know I try to avoid it as much as possible.
But, really--Christmas nowadays is more about consumerism than Christ. And I really don't think Madonna's kids are lacking in anything materialistic. I think they'll be okay if they don't unwrap a gift on December 25th. They unwrapped the gift of being born rich when they were born. They are not children that have their needs unmet.
Honestly, I've always been impressed with Madonna's parenting decisions. If I had kids, I would hope to raise them the same way: No junk food, no television, lots of books and music, and a ton of creative outlets and activities. Mark my words--Lourdes and Rocco will NOT turn out like Paris Hilton and Brandon Davis...and their mother's discipline will have a lot to do with it. So fuck y'all. |
