Numerous years ago we created this narration over some holiday footage we shot. And we've decided to re-bring it out this time of year in this context of us now creating these short podcast + channel insights, with some new and improved wording, and will likely continue to revisit it and re-modify it on a somewhat annual basis going forward. Here's the version for the lunisolar calendar which has been co-opted into the Roman BC/AD calendar by the religions of Empire which now claim we're about to enter the year 2024.
How does one choose to express their appreciation for the end of another solar cycle?
By thinking 'Tis the season for barrels of fake sentiment and slithery Christmas music about sleighs and snow, often sung in a kind of oleaginous voice?
Perhaps chugging gelatinous sanctioned drug sugar filled eggnog under mistletoe during yuletide celebrations wearing ugly sweaters in rooms full of people you can’t stand?
Engaging in zombie-like consumerist behavior buying generic corporatized presents historically from dying shopping malls or now more likely from highly automated un-unionized robot mega warehouses via the internet tubes?
Forcing your child to sit on a chubby jaundiced stranger's lap for cheesy photos while they cry their eyes out?
Turning your home into a gaudy Griswold display where the decorations are in full materialistic overload likely requiring auxiliary power to accommodate the exorbitant electricity bill?
Or fibbing to future generations by denigrating an Amanita Muscaria mushroom eucharist for achieving gnosis into a corporealized Coca-Cola version of a fiction named Santa Claus?
Bah Humbug to the splattered buckets of sticky sweet glurge and may the true origins of the indigenous pagan nature based winter solstice be un-diluted, de-occulted, and re-illuminated.
With all that being said, some of which was unusually esoterically truthful so you'll have to re-listen to it in order to get the downloads on what the hell you just heard, to conclude this in a more lamestream mainstream way - happy holidays to whatever you may or may not celebrate at this miraculous time of year.
