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.
Woo hoo! Who cares? Screw analysis and insight -- my Christmas shopping is done!
~ALL DONE!?!?...could you rub it in a little more!!! i still have some to do...will get there...warm wishes and brightest blessings~
ReplyDeletepretty funny debra:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I'm sending Hubs today...good luck to him...
ReplyDeleteNow you can enjoy all the festivities! ....just bring some cash.....
ReplyDeleteBuahahahahaha! Merry Cashmas!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even begun...but my list is small....hubby and my two sons...and, of course, my cat.
ReplyDeleteMary
Good for you...
ReplyDeleteI'm almost done. It could also be called Stressmass...xoxo
Done? Wow. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteMine is, well, begun. But just barely.
Show off. I've decided I'm just going go give everyone a stale jellybean.
ReplyDeleteI like the word, $mas . Seems fairly appropriate.... especially since mas means more in Spanish.
ReplyDeletelol..! great..! :)
ReplyDeleteI love urban dictionary and this is a good one! Is the stocking hung for "her royal highness"? :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Her Royal Highness's stocking is hung and already has gifts in it. She makes out like a bandit at Christmas. One year she got more gifts than I did.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the reasons why I don't like this holiday at all, the focus on stuff. Way to go getting your shopping done! I have only done a little but I am taking baby steps, otherwise I will get overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't *feed* "The Christmas Machine" any more...
ReplyDeleteMy shopping isn't done, yet.
So I still like the sentiment! And I still say; "Screw the Christmas Machine!" >,-)
Happy Happy!

LOL!
Cashmas and Stressmas for sure. The time of year that I want most to run away. It's too much everything, mostly too much work!
ReplyDeleteYOU are a hoot !!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to ask all the people on facebook that send up the status of keep the Christ in Christmas if they are going to church on Christmas eve or Christmas day? or observing any church services around Christmas..
ReplyDeleteI think it is hilarious that you have labeled it $-mas.
ReplyDeleteXo

Hi hon...I wanted to pop on by and give you a hug hon..a great big Christmas hug..not $mas hug..cause I am so deeply touched and well..you are what it is all about!
ReplyDeleteHugs and love, Sarah :)
first smile of this day goes to you dear Deb.....and I wish, just wish that it was around the winter solstice down here.
ReplyDeletecapitalist or not, I am going to love the goodwill this SPF brings !!
smooch x
That definition is fantastic! Made my day...ahahaha. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd mine is yet to begin...
ReplyDeleteOurs is done!!! Also proudly spent even less per gift this year than before, and, as usual, all locally handmade items (except for the chocolate bars). The adults need to be good with "it's the thought that counts" and it's the little kids who get something nicer.
ReplyDeleteI've also seen it called "Crassmas" ...
