Only 363 shopping days till Xmas!

managed to empty the stores of hundreds of billions of tons of Chinese-
made products in celebration of the consumer cult known as Xmas.
Other than accounting for over half of the U.S. economy, Xmas is
really no different from any other American holiday in that it
requires the purchase of mass-market consumer products to be given to
others, who must also purchase mass-market consumer products to give
to you.
Although we usually purchase merchandise to give to people we know,
sometimes we are expected to purchase stuff for people we don't know,
such as the 'Secret Santa' gift pools were are forced to participate
in at work, or the 'Toys for Tots' shakedown outside of Wal-Mart.
Naturally, the toys you donate to disadvantaged children must be brand-
new mass-market manufactured products in unopened boxes (as with
handmade gifts, recycled toys are forbidden).
Now the Xmas clearance sales begin, though be careful about stocking
up for next Xmas, because whatever you buy will probably be outdated
by next Xmas, and everyone will laugh at you. At any rate, beginning
tomorrow you have 363 full shopping days till next Xmas.
Go forth and buy! Rush down to Wal-Mart and stampede like cattle and
trample each other to death fighting over the last piece of cheap
Chinese-made plastic shit sitting on the shelf. Celebrate the true
spirit of Xmas and show how patriotic you are!

Bitter. Bitter. Bitter.
This is not the season for it.
Patience. The season will come.
