Clausmas w:The Star Democrat Easton, Md. A9 https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/115883801/ 1 1065-2345 20400341 In her letter, Ms. Schelt’s says she feels “that Christmas has become too commercialized,” that may depend on what one celebrates each Dec. 25. The two contrasting celebrations are the birth of Jesus Christ and the one night appearance of Santa Claus, thereby you have Christmas and “Clausmas” respectively. Some contrasts are as follows; Christmas — a story of love; Clausmas — the love of a story. Christmas — the everlasting gift; Clausmas — the never lasting gift. Christmas — to forgive us our “sin” debts; Clausmas — to give us our “spend” debts. Christmas is not commercialized, it’s being confused with Clausmas. By not focusing attention on why it’s called Christmas, it’s obvious that many are “mything” the reason for the season and are reaping their consequences thereof. en Usage notes Chiefly used mockingly by Christians to express discontent with secularization of Christmas.
