Time-Specific Platitudes.

It's that time of year. According to protocol, one should be operating with an increased amount of merriment. Given the problematic nature of 2020, it would be best if an individual's merriment output were increased by at least 30% by 12/8; however, given the previously mentioned circumstances, one could be forgiven for only achieving a 15% increase in joy by said time. Naturally, these numbers should be consistently improved upon as Christmas draws closer.

Remember to remind those around you that it is the Holiday Season. Do this frequently and enthusiastically. The illusion of unity and the dulling of reality are key to achieving a happy holiday—this year will be a hard one.

I wish you all the best in these dire times.

    Ha! What an amusing piece of satire.

    Well, I'm socially insensitive: I hardly notice the difference between "merry Christmas" and "have a nice day." A different set of annoying songs played on repeat in every store? It hardly even counts as a change. I really don't understand what merits such enthusiasm. Isn't life just as enjoyable (or unenjoyable) at all times?

    Ah, well. It's my emotional stolidity, I suppose. The world's supply of seasonal merriment will just have to get on without my input. Which I'm sure it will. I've never had any complaints about my lack of participation in the past, after all.

    I'm certain the necessary quotas will be met.

    This is not the correct mindset to have. Your being a maverick renegade has been noted.

    Happy holidays.

    Don't forget to commence yule-tide celebratory activities.

    For 'have a nice day' I was brought up to reply, 'Thank you, but I have other plans.'

    If someone says "Have a nice day", sometimes I like to say "Don't tell me what to do." :p

    @FlyingToaster ironically, in making that statement, you are telling them what to [not] do. 🙄

    @CuddleDuncan Yes, it's a sort of ironic humor (and of course, I'm not serious about it). :)

    I don't even notice the music changing in stores. If you see me out in public alone without headphones you should clear the area cuz I'm up to nothing good. (I'm that guy who has a set of back up wired just incase both sets of wireless some how die before I make it back into my safe haven lol)
