Prickly City by Scott Stantis for November 24, 2023

I hope you stocked enough TP.

Xmas has become the holiday of conspicuous materialism, Thanksgiving conspicuous overeating, with the original purposes of these holidays being pushed aside.

Now, let’s all complain how bad it is here.

We pull out my grandmother’s pre wwII china. The dinner plate sizes help reduce over eating

I don’t know how far back you have to go before you get to a time when these (and other) holidays are nothing but commercial gimmicks.

Yeah. That was definitely last night. This morning I back and ready to face whatever’s on my plate!
