New Holiday to join "The Holidays"?

[captain_slinky]

I think we need to add another Holiday to The Holidays, much in the same way we have "Black Friday", "Cyber Monday", "Boxing Day", and the likes. Need to have "The Seven Days of Craigslist". Starting on the Saturday after Christmas when everyone has the same thought:

"Gee my new (TV, Game System, Couch, etc) that I got for Christmas is great, but what to do with the old one? I know, I'll try to sell it on CRAIGSLIST! Let's see now... I paid $1000 for this item some ten years ago when it was brand new, so I should easily get $950 for it now!"

...Then the MAGIC of The Seven Days of Craigslist begin as reality sets in, expectations are lowered and the prices keep falling and falling on all those ads - like shooting stars, or a meteor shower - until finally, on the 7th Day Of Craigslist, the item land in the "Free" section!

It's a beautiful miracle that we can all enjoy regardless of race, creed or religion - and it ends with MORE PRESENTS!

I thought that the posting of items to Craigslist was a holy event even without a specific celebration date. 'Oh holy Craigslist, hallowed be thy name; Let me make a profit on these unusable items'.
