Early holiday thoughts: a correction

A few days ago I posted the following:

The Black Friday nonsense seems to be on the wane, though that may be partly related to the U.S. Thanksgiving coming so late this year. I’ll take what I can get.

I can now verify that this was entirely related to the U.S. Thanksgiving coming so late this year. My inbox is stuffed to the proverbial gills with Black Friday deals. I don’t know if it’s years of Steam sales featuring numerous 75% off deals, but none of these bargains are tempting me in the slightest. I am a bad consumer.

However, if I win $20 million in Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 draw I promise to buy many things and help kickstart the national economy.
