Christmas in 2050

Makarand writes "A robotic kitchen assistant will help you with the Christmas meal preparations while you recieve instructions and monitoring assistance in real time from information systems for the cooking. Thanks to progress in biology and nanotechnology, the molecular processes needed to convert raw materials into turkey will be understood sufficiently well to make a good artificial turkey for the vegetarians. This is what we can expect this time in 2050 says Ian Pearson, BT's futurologist who is paid to dream, in this BBC News article. Absent family will join the celebrations virtually. There might be technology allowing us to read each others minds and being able to know what others are thinking may not always add peace and harmony to the celebrations. However on the upside, it will make charades a whole lot easier you will never get unwanted Christmas presents. Lastly, just as this Christmas was hijacked by a consumption fever, so too in 2050, Christmas will be all about presents."

Christmas will be replaced by a generic winter holiday after lawsuits charge it with Eurocentricism and racist undertones (why isn't Santa black?). "Christian" preachers will tell their congregations to embrace the new holiday, as to not offend their atheist, Muslim, Jewish, Pagan, Hindu, and Buddhist brethe--- er, fellow human beings.

Underground real Christians will continue to celebrate, while having what nativity scenes they dare display be subjected to fines and arson.

"O! Beautiful for spacious skies..."

Don't see this as offtopic. Sadly, I'm partly serious about this. I'm willing to wager that Christmas WILL be less evident in 40 years if things keep up this way.
