Yes, a few posts down I suggest busting lil' Timmy's bubble all to hell, I suggest abstaining from the 'holiday joy' of spending sprees, and I deride those open headed enough to understand piggish consumerism but who participate anyway. Yes, I absolutely despise the fact that the 'season' is religion based (whatever derivation) and that it's officially recognized as the biggest 'holiday'. It pisses me off that we don't get a summer holiday that is just as long and officially recognized as well.
In light of all that, I'm doing what I do every year. I make stuff to eat and when I wander about spreading joy and good cheer I give people food. I don't buy the cute little baskets packed to the brim with over processed poop. I physically make things with an oven, a stove, bowls, pots, pans, and my hands. A chunk of what I'm making is frozen from this last summers garden.Hot Salsa I always do this every winter anyway as a matter of sharing the fruits of my labor but it works to kill two birds.
I have to be social and accept that the majority of people I know and are close to are going to celebrate "the holiday" so I might as well burn some lips.
On a side note: an old Chinese proverb
"If you want to be happy for a day, get drunk. If you want to be happy for a week, get married. If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, plant a garden."
Oh and check out why Twitter sucks
