To me, the reason we have christmas is to get together and feast as a family. I was brainwashed years ago but my eyes opened and I now still
celebrate Christmas but buying crap that someone does not need is off the table. Sure, you get a present and use it often at first to justify the
money spent on it...but shortly it gets put aside and never used again only to be sold in a rummage sale for a a few bucks. Or, like many people,
they just keep it in the house and clutter their houses and eventually it gets ruined and thrown away.
It isn't only Christmas, they have brainwashed people that we need something, like a cordless drill/screwgun, and then you find you are doing things
you never would have done before just to justify your purchase. Cordless tools have stimulated the economy a lot, because they just put things
together, things you probably do not need in the first place. I made a living with tools, but I provided a service and needed these tools. Now if I
need a ccordless drill/screwgun four times a year, it is about all I use it. I often just grab the regular drill or use a screwdriver, but most
importantly, I am not buying stuff to make things I do not really need now. I make cat coffins for the pets, that is about all I do with all my
tools. I use the air compressor and some hand tools, but I already have so much junk, I can't even put my car in the garage. Just like people buying
a self propelled lawnmower to cut the grass on their lawn, the lawn is the size of a living room sometimes, but they have a self propelled bagger
mower. It takes way longer to mow with that most times than to get a nice light manual push lawnmower....but people want something that looks
impressive.
