"Too silly" is relative. It's ridiculous, certainly, but is it more or
less a waste of time than sitting around in the covered outdoor seating
area of a restaurant on a Saturday night with a bunch of people in
various approximations of Santa costumes, some of them drinking
margaritas, some of them smoking cigarettes, chanting, "Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!" at passers-by?
Or at least 90% of the required meetings at the office . . .
