Holidaziness

Putting fingers in ears and trying to ignore the endless trite xmas tunes which blare everywhere; I don't know how people can stand them for decades on end. Someone a block over was playing them on loudspeakers until far too late a couple of weeks ago. An acquaintance on that block told me there has been some pretty bad feuding going on between a couple of households, so maybe it was revenge-tinged holiday music. Only in America.
Random acts of moderation, that could be a remedy for the escalating conspicuous consumption everywhere. They don't have to occur at this time of year, they could pop up unexpectedly. Quietly, unaccompanied by jingle bells.
