It's actually kinda neat that 2 of America's seasonal festivals (Thanksgiving/fall and Independence Day/summer) are coded nationalistically and the other 2 (Christmas/winter and Easter/spring) religious
You would be the first to admit that Big Capitalism is not America’s religion, but it is a dominant force in the country. And I think Christmas is more capitalist than it is religion. So 2/1/1
Yeah, the draining religious content is an interesting synecdoche for the national culture here (Pilgrims giving thanks used to bear religious overtones!)
