He floats a friend's theory that the emotional exhaustion of the election turned the holidays into a kind of hangover, with people going casual and lazy in pajamas instead of celebrating formally.
- Tim explains the election hangover theory: people invested so much emotional energy in the election that the holidays felt deflated by comparison.
- People are ordering food in and abandoning formal holiday traditions, staying in pajamas instead.
- Tim wonders if living in pajamas year-round might actually be the better way to go.
- The casual holiday aesthetic seems decided by consensus, and Tim observes that people appear to be giving up on everything across the board.
