What's next is the question

Being part of a culture that is absolutely nuts, is in turn hilarious and profoundly unsettling.
The build up to Christmas is something I've discussed here. But, the aftermath, which is a complete switch from the week before seems more apparent to me this year, than I've noticed in the past.
So, eat cookies, buy lots of stuff, prepare lavish meals, ham and all the fixin's, entertain with creamy cocktails, mmm, delicious candy yum.
Okay, it's January; DIET, Special K challenge, fitness wear on sale in all of the Sunday circulars, In addition, the biggest coupon packet I've ever seen, with all your low cal, nonfat needs being met and you can double them!
That is just messed up.
