“Make this holiday season about you!” -

Pitch from an e-mail ad received by Mr. K.

To quote the aforementioned recipient of the e-mail: “Awesome! Not only is it not Christmas, it’s also not about giving, sharing, charity, goodwill towards others… It’s about…YOURSELF. As opposed to the other 11 months of the year.”

Well said. You have to hand it to the advertiser for not pussy-footing around and going straight for the self-interest jugular. These must be the same folks now putting out Christmas store displays BEFORE Hallowe’en.

We hope that you all had a bit of a different Christmas, restful and happy perhaps, and wish you all the best for 2013.
