When the holidays get hectic and stressful it’s good for the soul to pause and remember the true reason for the season: Selling shit. Anxious for this yearly opportunity to serve a special convergence of reader interest and advertiser need, many news organizations, including the one that publishes this blog, create special gift guides. That’s why it’s so nice that The Commercial Appeal went a completely different way and told the story of a magical Christmas stocking that suffers for your favorite cook.
Wait, never mind. It’s just another gift guide. That “suffers” bit was just a typo. Our bad. Fly on the Wall has been hoping for miracles lately, and we thought this might be one.
Dammit.
