Holiday Ecards

Holidays are mostly rubbish. I happen to like Christmas quite a lot, despite the way modern Capitalism is trying to spoil it. But a lot of holidays don’t make a great deal of sense. Still, what I find is you have to pay some degree of lip-service to them, because if you don’t people can get upset. I mean, obviously, Valentines Day is a ‘consumer goods in exchange for sex’ holiday - with a lot of (White Protestant Work-Ethic) guilt attached to it. In fact, the only holidays we celebrate these days are the ones from which the Oligarchs can make money. You know, people who own retail chains or commercial real estate. Frankly, I think we should make up completely new holidays, and some should involve pretty women dancing with snakes (but then again, I am what they call a Complicated Man). My point in all this is that most holidays don’t make a lot of sense, but you have to play along with them, and besides - sometimes they provide a good way to mollify people. You send someone a holiday ecard from Wrongcards, and maybe they’ll forgive you for setting fire to their couch. (By the way, what sort of person buys a floral-print couches, anyway? They’re just asking for trouble if you ask me).
