【資本主義的影響力，當然要比聖誕節的原始意義大得多。 e.g. 電視新聞中小女孩的聖誕願望：『希望大家可以多點消費，帶旺經濟。』對於這樣的現象，西方基督教國家的人認為是宗教文化的腐蝕，中國抵制聖誕節的學者則認為是商業活動下的文化入侵。
其實12月25日不是耶蘇的真實生日，它本是羅馬帝國祭奉太陽神的重要節日。早期基督徒為了掩人耳目地傳教，才把它挪用過來改頭換面，那些西方批評家學兿不精，不知道任何傳統節日，都會在流傳的道路上變形，成為一具容器，讓參與者安放自己一套詮釋與意義。早年的基督徒如是，今日的非信徒亦然。】
=================
早前我看過陶傑的一篇文章，內容亦是講述西方人與東方人對節日的看法、西方人與東方人對傳統節日習俗的處理手法，以及他們怎樣延續這些傳統。
最大分別的例子是中國人的七月十四及西方人的Halloween。同樣是鬼的節日，中國人營造的氣氛都是陰森恐怖的，而西方人的恐怖卻是大人細路一同布置屋企 + 一齊玩Trick & Treat...
作為一個新進的基督徒，我覺得是"因為聖誕節而消費"或是"因為消費先記得有聖誕節"這又有什麼關係呢！在時間這條大河流裏，有多少個傳統的節日都被人們所遺忘了。
總之，現在就是要想辦法將這些節日延續下去。如你好似以上作者，知道一些節日的歷史意義，便盡力將這些knowledge 傳出去吧....

I love cooking and believe that I have talent on cooking but of course - the side effect is that I like eating also
There was one day my sister asked me if "你係為食而生存 or 為生存而食"... i almost did not think and then answer that I am 為食而生存... that was about when I was 12/13 years old and I did not use my brain to answer, however, later on, when I study hotel mgt, when i have to work in hotels and face the food everyday, i found that i am 為生存而食 hehe...
In my secondary school days, my teacher also gave me the comment that I have talent in cooking. She then recommended me to join the towngas cooking competition (so brave
) and finally, I won
the top ten participants... the competition require 2 ppl as a team and cook 3 things in one hour (something like that.. after all, it's about things happening 16years ago
) I joined with my best friend - Floria, who is a girl, WHO DONT KNOW ABOUT COOKING... hehe... so, it's actually me, cooking all the things within 1 hour... hahaha and still won the top ten
, so i really believe i can handle cooking well.... (I had dinner with Floria last night and we talked abt this competition also, she still think that It's she made me lost the competition... ) after all, it's a really good experience and at least, it make me realize that I have interest in cooking...
later on, I went to study hotel and catering management... there I learn cooking French... Fast food... Chinese food... all kinds of things not just for household but in a huge western kitchen for hotel or caterer usage and I still manage that...
I miss the days there that I always responsible for the dessert area... and later on when I join the Club as a management trainee where I meet a lot of Executive Chef (one of them is Roman Ramsauer, he's a very very kind Chef that I met and he also praise me having design talents on cakes layout / presentation.... I miss him very much as he passed away later on b/c of liver cancer)
however, what i want to tell is that.... i do not have an oven at home
not even a microwave cos my mom she always think that our kitchen is so crowded... i think it would be good cos if I have so many equipment at home, i would then keep cooking things at home and I think i would weight 300lb already... hehe now that I am waiting for the days in MI.... hehe
where my friend have a big oven and nice stove.... hahaha I can cook whatever i want..... hahahaha
