Christmas In Tepoztlan

 

 

The pueblo is closed.

The tiendas are shuttered.

The kiosks are covered.

It´s the Santa clause of the

social contract invoked

around the world.

 

Santa, a demi-god of materialism,

represents the joy of possession.

A pagan symbol that stole Xmas

from Christians, who earlier stole

it from earlier pagans.

 

Not that anyone is confused about it.
