You Don't Need.... A Big Holiday

Humanity needs a break. If 2016 has created any kind of societal mindset, it is that everything is just too much and we want to shut it all off. Like, literally, we want to find the fuse box for this year and take a hatchet to it, screaming bloody murder, foam coming out the side of our mouths. We want to hide from th world, form troubling issues, from work and its endlessness (shout out to Howard Moon) , from family and their nonsense. 

Holidays have taken on a special quality in today's society. People will quite happily slave away all year long, scrimping and saving and suffering, just to have ten working days to themselves.
