3 minTim reflects on this being his last year doing holidays with family as he climbs toward success, then rants about baby boomers phoning in the holidays, blaming them for ruining tradition and mortgaging the country's future.
- 3:24Tim describes waking up at a party house the morning after—a sign of deeper problems ahead.
- 3:53The house the day after a party: dank, smelly, filled with ashtrays and booze stains, trashed real estate.
- 4:21Tim reflects on families who host these parties as good people, letting strangers do drugs, drink, and devalue their property.
- 5:00The week between Christmas and New Year's feels like seeing those party families in daylight—vampires exposed by sunlight, a reality you shouldn't witness.
- 5:52This is Tim's final year spending the holidays with his family, as success requires constantly climbing and there's nowhere left to go in that structure.
- 6:18Next year he'll spend the holidays on an island, with friends, or away—anything but repeating the family ritual.
- 6:40Tim's closing argument: the phoning in of the holidays across the board has got to stop.
