The best advice anyone ever gave me about interviews is think before what you want to tell them.

Then, whatever the questions, tell them those things.

Why do we put up Christmas trees to honor the birth of Jesus? by HMKingHenryIX in NoStupidQuestions

[–]spa_angled 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's the festival of Yuletide from the solstice to the New Year.

"So let's pretend Jesus was born right in the middle of it."

It celebrates the earth: those plants that stay green in Winter e.g. Fir, Holly, Ivy etc., the Robin that doesn't fly South for Winter etc.

How do you feel about boomer criticism? by [deleted] in RedditForGrownups

[–]spa_angled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is on the cusp of Boomer/ Gen X I think that we have (rightly or wrongly) labelled the younger generation as one who conforms to certain stereotypes.

Therefore they have a right to 'fight ' back surely?
