Hypotheses

I suspect that very few people actually enjoy the holidays, and that most people are pretending to enjoy them for the benefit of others.

Like the story with the man who sold his watch to buy his wife combs, and the wife who sold her hair to buy her husband a watch fob, everyone ends up without the things they want, but secure in the knowledge that others care enough to make themselves and their loved ones miserable.

So we’ve got that going for us.
