But I'm feeling bright and cheerful. The sky is filled with puffy
white clouds and it's almost too chilly to wear a t-shirt. I smile
when I think of all those Northerners up to their armpits in snow.

See? You can spread happiness just as easily.

I note that it will be in the 70's all next week in S.C. This makes
Yankees unhappy. Thusly, this is to be celebrated.

Your question of the day, Mr. Penrose -- Do you think Christmas sweaters
are intrinsically tacky? Because my daughters have shared with me their
deep bitterness at my surprising them every single year with Christmas
Sweaters, and their moral obligation to act happy And wear the sweaters.

Turns out, all Christmas sweaters are tacky.

Who would have thunk?

Only if they contain:

Christmas icons (fir trees, santas, reindeer, etc)
Kittens or bunnies
Sappy or hypocritical patriotic themes
Non-sexual jokes or slogans
Beer logos

Or if they have turtle necks that abrade the skin from your neck.

Well, that just about covers all of them, doesn't it.

A hint from the Warrior Queen:

She's been making bedspreads and throws for people for the past three
years, and now she's getting requests.

The same pattern restrictions apply.

As a grownup, I, of course, never wore them. Bought I bought 'em at the
after Christmas sales, and I placed them as a surprise on the girls'
beds on the last day of school before the holidays. They were thrilled
up to the age of eight. They acted thrilled at >8.

Little shits were lying to me . . . .

Now speak definitively about 'little Santa earrings . . . touch of
whimsy, or shrieks poor white trash'.

G'hed. Do it.

Sorry. Your bad mood hasn't arrived here yet. Try again.

Say, maybe some hackers stole it on the way over!

well, sure, but that's not nearly as amusing.

before the internet, people in bad moods just moped around their
house.

or excoriated their fellow workers.

anthropology-wise, we've entered a whole new age of absurdity.
