RE: Commercialism in Christmas... my annual rant
Do I hate the commercialism of a fake if not satanic holiday.. yeah.. I start hating it on Black Friday...
You nailed it haha - I've been trying to be low key about my X-mas opinions, but this is a good summary... I guess I'll try to remain low key until I can break it down in an animation that's more funny than complain-y. I try not to demolish everyone's fun, but the roots of X-mas isn't Christ, it was known as Saturnalia until a pervert in a pointy hat (Pope Julius) magically proclaimed it to be the birth of Christ (in order to draw more pagans under his authority). Yes, it was a marketing ploy more or less. Add enough gifts and candy and you can get the whole world on board lolz...
I've spent exactly zero this season on gifts, etc., but in a few weeks I'm flying back east to visit family, so that's a financial pressure equal to or greater than gift buying... :-r
Dang I'm not even supposed to be on here today, but I just HAD to chime in.
Have a good one or at least don't let holiday drama drive ya nutz.
PS I'll upvote you later, I gotta let my VP recover to 100 again
I'm glad I'm not the only one.. but yeah I'll be okay.. I got plenty of beer whiskey and weed...
