That's some (modified) speech, snort. Have to admit that A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of my favourite shows of the season, and the one I make sure not to miss. As relevant now as it was in '65 (though hard to imagine that commercialization was as rampant back then), it offers a great message no matter what your beliefs.
Veganism, for most vegans I hope, is about fighting commodification of sentient beings. We disagree with the notion that other species (including our own) are objects for human animals to use, own or destroy. And at a time of year when consumption as celebration is all around us, it seems even more fitting to remember that consuming other animals in whatever form is wrong no matter what month we happen to be in.
It's always a good time though to put into practice what Linus (reciting the Gospel of Luke Ch2 v14) said at the end: "...and on earth peace and goodwill towards men [sic] [recte ALL]."
May peace and goodwill to all rule all of our hearts and actions.
Merry Christmas everyone! :)
