Observation: You can buy a pack of 14 Christmas cards for $1 at Dollar Tree
That works out to a little over 7¢ per card
A postage stamp costs 55¢
So ultimately, you pay far more to mail the card than you did for the card itself

Gosh, there's an entire generation now who grew up with "Forever" stamps, isn't there?
Zoomers will never know the struggle of having to buy a sheet of 1¢ stamps because you have an entire book of 32¢ stamps and they just raised the postage price to 33¢

OK, so like...yesterday was the first time I, personally, have ever bought stamps, but, like, I remember my parents using stamps a lot when I was a child.
Also, while we're on the subject, do you ever find yourself doing an "adult" thing for the first time and you just wander through it completely clueless?
Like, I needed stamps to mail my Christmas cards, so I just walked up to the Kroger customer service desk all like...
Me:...Do you sell stamps here?
Clerk:Yes.
Me:...
Clerk:...
Me:I would like to buy some stamps.
Clerk:We only sell them in a book of 20. Is that OK?

Oh yeah, my experience was much the same. Also the reason I needed the stamps was because my new landlord is from the stone age and wants rent in the form of mailed cheques. So I also had to figure out how to write a cheque lmao.

I've written a check exactly once in my life: when I cancelled my Time Warner Cable service and they immediately deactivated my account so I couldn't pay the final bill online.
Our landlord demands money orders for some reason, so that's cool and fun and good.

In a civilized world, landlords wouldn't be a thing.
But in a slightly-less-civilized-than-that-but-still-more-civilized-than-ours world, there would be regulations in place requiring landlords to accept electronic payment methods for rent.
See when the new owner first bought the building I didn't even have a chequebook, so I had to order one and it ended up not arriving in time. So I told the property manager that I couldn't provide a cheque on time, and she sure was happy enough to take an e-transfer THAT month...

Back when my mother worked for the bank, we had a joint account so I could take advantage of all her employee perks, one of which was free checks. So I ordered checks with my name on them, and proceeded to...write just the one, just the once. But at least it made me feel like a grown-up. Wait, is that a good thing?

Every so often, I'm reminded that the basic conceit of Sailor Moon is "what if superheroines, but in outfits inspired by school uniforms?"
I opened my bank account with enough money that they gave me like six free books of checks for joining. I haven't even used up one book yet, but I've definitely used some checks.
Since then I've downgraded my checking account...and kept the checkbooks. lol
And unlike the last few times I've had bank accounts which I had to close because I moved away from where they were located, I've actually kept this bank account.

It's Christmas Eve, Weaiterman
It sure is, Chef
In mere hours, Satna claus will be descending thorugh my chimeny to replenish my supply of coal
Wait, all you ever get from Santa claus is coal?
I mean, eyeah Why, do other people get other things?
last Christmas I got an xBox One
Lousy cheapstake. He should have at least sprung for an XBox Two.
I don't think Sxobx TWo is a thing, Che3f.
I guess we'll have to make it our selves then!
I don't know how to make video game Consoles, Chef
Luckily, I do!
Let's get started, then!
OK, so first, sautee the CPU and RAM chips in butter Then add cheese, and also salt
I don't think this is how Microsoft does it, Chef
Who's the Chef here?
Are you even, like, a real chef, Chef? Like, in the legal sense?
What are you, the Cuyahoga County Baord of Health?

Decemberween is the perfect parody of that trope you see in a lot of fiction where it's like "Oh, in our world the characters celebrate a holiday that observes all the secular traditions of Christmas, but we call it something else because we want to avoid the religious association"
I fell into that trap myself for a while with Centralia, trying to turn it into some generic Winter Solstice holiday instead, but I eventually realized it's just easier to say "Christmas" by default

why not just Yule lol
edit: i mean why don't they just use Yule instead
it's not like it even needs to be culturally accurate, considering how much Christmas itself has mutated
