Rewatching this I realize, it has more to it than the first hearth's warming episode.

So why do people hate on this season exactly? The show has a different feel? Personal grudge against Starlight? Etc.

Anyways I enjoyed this episode. Granted, cliches are *imitating a puking sound/action with tongue sticking out* but its for kids, and it can be viewed as a type of humor as well, and its upbeat so *shrugs*. Possibly a reference, with that random tap-dancing bit. I know its 'pinkie' of Pinkie to do that. Also the last song said 'enjoy it while it lasts' while it showed some young ponies at presents and it sorta implied enjoy the gifts while they last (don't recall the lyric(s) there) and that was neat and good for kids probably(I know, using the word 'good' is weird since art is so subjective, and related reasons).

Anyways, why is there that scared straight attitude at the end? Like, is that the best way to resolve it? I mean obviously it did good, but that could just be because people could relate to it, and other societies it might not be popular at all. Like what if its some random western thing only, and its a sign of mentality of people overall?

I think deep sometimes, I know this instance is a little silly, but I did enjoy the episode, so I guess its fine.

Then I thought, what are some parallels? Like does this teach people to actually be better irl even though they already celebrate christmas? Well it does reinforce spending which is tied to the economy, then etc etc studies show giving to charity is better than receiving charity, etc scam artists, etc risks n benefits of holidays. Overall spending is good though and technically speaking spending from civilians would probably decrease over the snowy months because its sorta impeding isn't it? I mean more spending would occur, but if you overspend on essentials then you don't have enough for quality of life, and then the economy, not fully sure how it'd work there. Like those plowing the roads don't hire others often, but then they may spend the money on essentials and not gifts, and those essentials are like providing people stores? Transportation? Farming? Ya know what it'd be better to google than to specula- oh right, it costs the gov money on that stuff. So we just have to compare the opportunity costs, and obviously essential spending impedes on other spending. So it could mean less for schools for instance.

Does any of this matter? Not really but it might be ok brain exercise? lol.

Anyways, if the economy spends into something that doesn't promote internal spending then you get inflation, printing of money, you get higher national debt, etc yada yada, which is why its better to export than import. EXCEPT when it uses up too much of your land to farm or etc in your country then you get disputes over territory you get internal competition, then they try getting less money to outbid each other and actually sell their product, then because they are just farmers and not enough internal marketting going on, they don't have enough taxes for as good public schools? This is speculation totally open to this idea being wrong. But that makes it seem like a place like america with alot of internal spending is good?

I guess spending is 'circulation' and is similar to biological circulation. AND with biological circulation it goes like this as well, the colder you are the more your heat goes to the internal organs and less to external, then we get closed off body posture, and less physical activity. Sorta like Russia? They are cold, they have a worse economy, sorta stagnant in some regards? I'm not an expert don't quote me on it. So anyways long story short, cold weather would decrease the economy, and spending does help the economy. Its the reason for black friday sales and such, you gotta make money in the high sale season, before the down season so you can survive as a business.

Because lets say you have a spring holiday and not a winter/fall one. Spring christmas. Ok so, businesses close over winter, people spend into the only surviving ones.. Ok Its nearly bed time lol.

But fraud exists from holidays more often, is a factor. And I played a fake market before online, and play sc2, I know a couple things about economy, also took an economics class in HS before years ago. *shakes head* Anyways, good night, I forget half of what i wanted to say, or, maybe not lol, anyways goodnight.

Goodnight~~
