Someone already took a close look in the stores?
Satan has already moved in again.
Well, actually, Satan directly still keeps missing - the dude with the red dress and the red hood.
But his friends, called "Christmas stollen", "lebkuchen" and "speculoos", have already moved into the shelves to occupy them for the next few months.
Maybe chocolate, the usual candy and the devil himself are going take up their positions soon too?

You can say, maybe it's real luxury that I'm used to, but I really don't need to have a lot to deal with church or belief in everyday life.

If that still is the same with the younger generation... Saying, the younger generation somewhat takes some conservative traits and customs back again. Meaning, making it theirs to act by and to wish things. I could guess church could also be among that. As those lack a bit of criticism to things they're told, for my taste. And, enough in my age and few years above, they also long for that "idyllic world" shit too often, with house, family, kids and all that, you know? And they also seem to be damned to that circle until their 40s quite too often to make reality fit into a frame which they generated alone in their stupid brain without asking for anybody else's consent or opinion.
Instead of - taking notice of reality and the possibilities in reality that you just have or get.
As I'd put it: "You can't always choose what life gifts you with.", that's what they ignore and try to make it fit into something that's impossible from their position.
You know... Running at the first sight of troubles, throwing things away if they don't fit immediately to their utopic wishes.
To me it's clear there is no such thing as a replica of that fantasy in your head, there's only the demand to and the requirement from you to work on things as best as you can.
Basic concepts need to fit, but you can't expect from somebody to be exactly as you wish him to be. Then go to some laboratory and try to clone yourself, if it's that what you want...
I feel like a lot of people try that, to find their clone in other people, and it's a thing of people who are a little older and grown up with a different kind of socialization still who know the other side of the coin - to not run away at the first thing that displeases. (Strangely enough, there's also quite a lot of other stuff I don't get warm with from their socialization.)
And, in searching for that clone, these people, up into their 30s, fall back to some traits of conservatism because it promises them some kind of safety and some kind of "you get your cradle back". The usual "kid wants to get back into symbiosis with Mum".
