Kids should enjoy Christmas. But fuck conspicuous consumerism and fuck corporate profits. Adults shouldn’t buy Christmas gifts for each other, IMO.

To clarify: I’m not against adults celebrating Christmas in other ways.

The economics of Christmas spending is mind boggling. It’s not a harmless once a year indulgence.

  People carry debt from their Christmas gifts for the rest of the year, you’re right that it’s totally not harmless. I’m shocked how much some people spend on holiday gifts.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
Posts must be original/unique
