Happy Christmas Recovery

It’s finally over — the seemingly endless expenditures to celebrate the American religion of consumerism. Please thank your Chinese overlords and slave workers at FOXCONN for this year’s bounty. We should all mention them during grace this evening during Christmas dinner.

‘Dear Lord, thank you for these gifts. I’d like you to bless the children working 15 hr shifts at the slave factories in China, who made this joyous day possible for us. Also, thank you for giving the management at FOXCONN the foresight to install suicide nets outside their factories, in order to preserve your precious gifts of life, in order to keep the people inside the factories alive long enough to make our items which we’re enjoying today.

Amen’

I’ll be resting up a bit, then I’ll be preparing for dinner and cocktails — not in any particular order.

Anything worthwhile to dicusss? How was your Xmas? Did you get a lot of fucking presents?

    I got Sonos speakers, hue lights, clothes, belt, and a few other items for pagan Xmas.

    Anyone get nothing?

      I received love, and sold (actually more like gave away) my gold.

    Sonos most excellent ! Here in California our liberal overlords have caused the gun stores to be stripped bare like a Venezuelan supermarket. Naturally I had to participate in the firearm orgy by converting gains from LULU calls into a Falkor “Caitlyn” AR-15 to beat a December 31 ban.

    I gave and received love. I don’t celebrate Christmas, as such, or give gifts. If my spouse or I need something, we buy it. Or if a relative needs something, we will buy it for them, if they’re short on cash.

    I do attend concerts and Winter Solstice celebrations and other events. Am festing on turkey today. Am grateful to be living on the West Coast, which is beautiful in scenery and filled with amazing events and places.

    I received many presents most of which were made in some slave labor country and will probably be broken before the god damn year is out. I guess at least I won’t have to store the stuff. Thank god for globalization.

    It’s really an absurd holiday. My relatives say I am difficult to shop for, so I threw some items on my Amazon wish list. They decided they did not want to buy me the requested cedar shoe trees because it was a “boring gift.” So they bought me a sweater instead. I don’t even like sweaters, and now I need to pay for the fucking cedar shoe trees. Lame.

      LMAO!!! That made me laugh. You are an adult who earns your own money. Gifts are to be given to children who don’t have their own money to buy things they want.
