About This Book

The author examines how the holiday's meaning has been compressed into a single overpopulated day, producing exhaustion, resentment, and lost joy for many; he diagnoses commercial frenzy, frantic gift-giving, and the strain placed on workers and families. Through sermonic essays he urges recovery of the festival's core—peace, goodwill, and generous living—and advocates widening that spirit beyond one day by practical compassion, quiet reflection, and sustained ethical practice so the season's virtues become habitual rather than merely episodic.
