Couldn’t you make the same argument for any holiday?
Seems like you’re just redrawing the lines to protect your argument, all holidays can be celebrated in a fairly noncommercial way because the theme of them is basically “spend time together”.
I don't know about you, but Yule is typically when I spend time with my extended family, who I do not see every day. We all bring a meal to a communal potluck, and spend time hanging out and catching up on how people have been doing for the past year. Probably the most consumerist part is that we put the same movie on the center TV every year to have in the background.
So no, I'd argue you can't make the same argument for a lot of holidays.
Is it The Big Lebowski? If I had a big extended family I'd totally put that on.
Nah, it's A Christmas Story because we're a bunch of Indiana yokels, and the grandparents like how it reminds them of their childhood. I've always wanted to do like a Lord of the Rings marathon, but I don't host so not my choice.
Fair enough then :)
