I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We made it a party -- like 10 of us went, some brought their kids, we had hot cocoa, whiskey, beer. We all found our own tree and chopped them down. One of the best Xmas events I've ever been part of, hoping to repeat it this year.
