Entity EMZ spoke thus: > Xmas... funny how everyone has to enjoy this holiday. What are you talking about? I can't stand it. Fortunately I live in Santa Fe where there's a strong rejection of the hysterical consumerism they've turned the holiday into. They're really loudly denouncing the most egregious offenders to the point of having an economic impact. I told everyone I don't want no stinkin' presents and I'm not getting any of my friends any. Even the tree purchases are way down this year, the lots are full of excess trees. Very few lights are up this year too, people are recognizing it for the consumptionfest it really is. But Hanukkah is looking better every year. Sorry for the off-topic rant. --Gnarlie |
