Energy prices are skyrocketing. And, yet we see people putting up xmas lights everywhere. Who will be paying for the energy bill for this? There has also been much mention of climate change. And, yet we see people putting up trees inside their homes when they should be outside. And, shockingly many still decorate real trees rather than the fake ones in their houses and gardens. Even the celebration of Santa Claus is odd because in the old days he was considered to be a demon. The holiday period is the hallmark of teaching kids the value of materialism. And, all of a sudden people can be seen interested in buying turkey and drinking egg nog when they wouldn't even dare touch it at any other time of the year. We also see mulled wine only at this time of the year. We also see everyone putting up smelly socks next to fireplaces and silly wreaths on the doors. People sit around overindulging in food and drink till their bellies explode, another attribute of gluttony embraced during the festive period. We see people taking out loans to pay for gifts. One can even see vegans on holiday this festive season and embracing the dead corpse of a turkey on the table. Treehuggers and climate change alarmists are all on holiday. And, as the xmas passes on we can see trees next to rubbish bins. A temporary short run on economic growth through consumer spending. Capitalism in all its glory!
