Front page of today's scmp (no link; pay-per-view) reports that Hong Kong retailers are racking up their best Christmas sales for a decade.
That, according to scmp, is cause for good cheer.
Absent from scmp is the following: "You know Christmas marketing is a scam, benefiting manufacturers, stores, and huge corporations, while driving individuals into debt. You know this annual consumer frenzy wreaks havoc on the environment, filling landfills with useless packaging and discarded gifts."
Yes, it's a tad late in the day, but: "No to compulsory consumption. Boycott Christmas!" Christmas Resistance Movement
(Mince pies and Phil Spector's Christmas album excepted)
