Well, that’s what it really is. It isn’t the Christmas season. They only call it that to justify it. But it really is the season where retail and consumer spending is whipped like a racehorse into a frenzy by the media.

Story of Stuff

I came across this site (Adam Curry played some of it on his Daily Source Code podcast) and it gave me pause. It’s really something to think about before you go out and blow a wad on Christmas shopping just because they tell you to. It’s called The Story Of Stuff. I hate to send you away from this site, but go and check it out, it’s worth it. It’s an interesting presentation, complete with Flash video. Really good. Thought-provoking as well.
