By all rights we should all be curled up in the fetal position on our mattresses stuffed with what's left of our 401ks. We should all be learning to barter; taking lessons from the Palins in how to field dress wild game and then turn the hides into moccasins.

Sure, as always, when I ask friends how they're doing they first groan and say they're overworked and worried and the damn holidays...
