Important holiday reminders

[AJ Oliver 1,925]

First, not that tomorrow is National Buy Nothing Day, be sure to celebrate it. 

And to help you get into the spirit here is a century old Ode from the lefties of that era . .  

https://jacobinmag.com/2021/11/socialist-thanksgiving-ode-appeal-to-reason

In days of old the turkey fat,

Was eaten by the lord;

‘Twas raised by cowed and ignorant serfs

To grace his festive board.

 

And when the feast was over,

And gluttons had their fill,

In refuse pot the bones were dumped

And workers ate the swill.

 

Today the system’s changed in name.

The facts aren’t changed a speck.

The capitalists eat the choicest parts,

While the workers get the neck.

 

When Socialist laws shall come in play,

We’ll show the useless drones.

The working man will eat the meat,

While the shirker sucks the bones.

 

— G. H. L.

And here is another holiday hack . . . 

If you look around the table and cannot readily identify the crazy uncle . . . 

maybe it is you.

And it was my honor and privilege to share a fine traditional meal 

with a loving family. 

And I hope that all of you shared something like that.

Although I must say that several of my most fondly remembered TKS GVS 

were helping with food at various community events 

like this one

OK y'all it is 30 minutes until the official start of 

National Buy Nothing Day !! 

A wag of my acquaintance once observed that shopping is the most deadly addiction (for a variety of reasons). 

Don't let it happen to you  !!
