Japanese hardware sales, 11 Dec - 17 Dec: Christmas courtesy edition
Ah, what a jolly time of year it is. In fact, it's the only time of year when the use of the word "jolly" doesn't result in someone coming across as a complete imbecile. Though many attempt to fight the false cheer and the forced goodwill, experience clearly shows that the best course of action lies parallel to the direction everyone else is going. After all, wedging your fingernails into the ground as the holiday consumerism vortex sucks the world into a timeless oblivion is futile and even worse — physically tiring. Just let it go and send out that cheap and thoughtless greeting card.
Everyone else is doing it. Just have a look at the cards we got this year (after the break).
