a 2016 Saturday Night Live music video skit titled ‘The Christmas Candle,’ Emma Stone, the night’s host, sang a ballad alongside cast members about a peach-scented candle that ultimately passes through the hands of all womankind. How does this happen?
The candle keeps on getting regifted.
Laughs landed because the joke is steeped in truth — who among us hasn’t been tempted to regift wool socks or a bottle of wine?
Especially when the gift was likely regifted in the first place. But, as concerns about climate change have intensified alongside unprecedented weather crises, the clarion call to buy less and make use of what we have already has never been louder.
That said, in the run-up to the most expensive time of year, does that apply to Christmas presents?
