Happy Holidays !
There’s just so many festivals over this weekend it made sense to start my email with the expression I usually end my emails with. Today is Dhanteras, tomorrow is something Hindu as well, Sunday is actually Diwali and Monday is Halloween. There’s a lot going on.
Dhanteras is the most economic festival there is. It is literally only about money. This festival incites a circulation of cash money through the economy. Money is most often used to buy gold, a precious metal with no value in use but a very high value in exchange. Gold is not scarce compared several other precious metals. Gold’s economic value is propped up by central governments around the world and its exchange rates are determined twice a day, every day by a thriving bullion holding agencies. That mate, is Economics 101. Happy Dhanteras.
Moving on, tomorrow is Diwali eve, or Diwal-eve, depending on what you like to call it. Diwali eve has no economic importance. I’m not going to talk about it.
Sunday, is Diwali. The ultimate Indian festival. Also known as ‘Festival of Lights’, ‘Tropical Christmas’, and ‘If Jesus was Hindu’. Great food marks the true spirit of Diwali. It’s not Diwali if you don’t gain a kilogram or two from eating all the food. If you’re me, (which you’re not) it’s not Diwali if you don’t offend and/or ridicule at least five gods. Great festival, Diwali. Tremendous. We’re gonna build a wall to keep out nosy relatives. Happy Diwali, folks.
Monday is Halloween, a festival Americans created to get out of eating pumpkins. Smart people, Americans. Why eat massive weird oranges when you can carve ’em to look scary and create a whole festival out of it? This year Diwali and Halloween clump together. Which makes sense. If you’re scared of social situations, Diwali is your Halloween. Happy Halloween!
Happy festivities, newMacBook Pros are swell, and Paint 3D is cool. That’s about all I have for you.
Tis, mate, was the Weekly Email Blast, email 84. Happy holidays !!!
