I don’t know about other countries, but in the nordic countries was it not a day to get present until after 1600 so there may have been a time with less visible capitalism. The presents started as a gift to ppl in need and later became a thing you give to family and friends. That day wasn’t even a Christian day at first until we converted. It was called midwinter(no presents, just a celebration). But like the person who responded to you before me said; capitalism has been around a lot longer.
Actually, it was always capitalism.
Hasn’t Christmas has been around longer than capitalism?
No
Where would you place the starts of those two?
Religion is a product of capitalism and it’s right hand. The other hand of capitalism is state.
This is such a bizarre take. That would mean capitalism existing before religion.
Of course it did
When do you figure those two things started?
During agricultural revolution
the way we celebrate it now, not really
It’s not like the capitalism is the same either. But in similarish forms, Christmas is old and I’d say older than similarish capitalism
