The primary holiday celebrated in capitalist cultures. Generally observed around the winter solstice, Cashmas is a celebration of materialism in which its celebrants attempt to flatter or impress relatives, friends, and acquaintances with the extent of their purchasing power. (The "power to get".) Cashmas co-opts signs, symbols, and sympathies from other religious holidays of the winter season to mask its foundation of conspicuous consumption. In the United States, where the holiday is most actively observed, Cashmas traditionally begins on "Black Friday", that is, the day following Thanksgiving Thursday in November. Holiday observations traditionally end on January 2nd, but may arguably be said to extend through "Super Bowl Sunday" of professional American football. This event can occur as late as the month of February.
Jodi spent 14 hours at the mall in celebration of Cashmas.

Denny,
Quick question. I, daily, read your blog along with Barry's and Sili's.
Both Barry's and Monica's blog's comment button open immediatley and to a whole new window while not moving away from the blog window. I can quickly comment and then "x-out" of that window with the blog page maximized.
But it seems like this blog redirects comments to a whole other page and it takes FOREVER to load. After I comment the BLA's page again takes at least a minute to reload.
You got any ideas, Oh Technosage.
I'm out of ideas to speed it up.
OK.....am I going crazy or did you change something?
or......or....maybe...it's only slow if I am the first commentor.
I changed it immediately per your request...
Don't thank me, I'll bill you later.

Much Obliged.
