Pretend Snow

Pretend Snow by digitalia.
Why do they care? Why do all these Asian countries that aren't christian even care about what a northern European religious festival traditionally associates with Christmas?

Never underestimate the power of advertisement as well as colonialism. You should go to the Philippines and freak out: Christmas season starts on September with the longplaying Christmas songs and will officially end on March or April.

Hell, we even have Santa Claus bringing gifts to a lot of Filipino kids. Of course, this Santa do not even pretend to be of Malayan descent - not with his white beard, and red rouge.

Christ on a scooby stick. It's like that here in Thailand, though, which was never, I believe, subject to a colonial presence (unless the current century of sex tourism counts).
