Eucatastrophe is a word created by Tolkien to represent dramatic saves at the last minute where catastrophe is averted. Like when the eagles rescued the party in Mirkwood in the Hobbit. To me, Christmas as we celebrate it is much more about Eucastastrophe than Easter ever was. Christmas is a celebration of deliverance; Easter is a chance to eat candy, paint eggs and dress nice for church.
This is the Christmas Dickens invented with the Christmas Carol. Satanic Long Termers have coopted the term, but Baileyism is the epitome of the opposite of that. Longtermism is the belief that you can be Archer and make no personal sacrifices and your money and good looks and plot armor frees you from what you do just because you are the White Male protoganist. This is why Long Termers are all fine making women objects and slaves and drilling more oil. They will get deliverance because they deserve it.
Baileyism is about doing the right thing, on your own, day in and day out and BECOMING the Eucatastrophe. One is a shirking of personal responsibility and demanding the universe comply with your magickal thinking, and the latter is becoming the thing you most desire for others until the universe gives you what you need because of the Karma you have accrued. You do it is because it is the right thing to do and bring hope to others and hope deep down you get it for yourself.
Christmas as manifest in the real world is a mechanism to steal wealth from the lower classes to the wealthy with no consequences to them. Christmas as it is sold to us is decent people being given a miracle by some last minute eucastrophe. The first is disgusting and non sustainable, the latter is how we make a better world.
