[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 295104, member: 27"] We may end up with a Christmas situation somewhat akin to [I]The Grinch Who Stole Christmas[/I] this year. In [I]Grinch, [/I]he decided the best way to stop the village from having their happy, sappy holiday celebration would be to steal all their decorations, their presents, and seasonal foods when they were all asleep. This year, much of the decorations, presents, and seasonal food are either trapped on container ships parked off coastal cities waiting to be unloaded due to labor shortages in the ports, or were never produced in the first place due to labor shortages and oppressive Covid regulations in the manufacturing sector. So it appears there's a bit of Grinchy activity lurking in the shadows as we enter October. The question I guess is whether we will react as the citizens of Whoville and celebrate the holiday for what it [I]really is, [/I]or if we just hear endless social media carping about how "Christmas is ruined because my game console wasn't delivered on time." So I guess my "random thing I hate" in this case is that we all know which reaction we will get. [/QUOTE]
