You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.

Have you been naughty or nice?

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual

Hormon.

Consider the fairy lights.

There's a reason we hang strings of fairy lights this time of year.

And that is their name, by the way.

That's what they're called, fairy lights.

And if you don't believe me, go search fairy lights on Amazon.

But please don't buy your fairy lights on Amazon.

Buy artisan small-batch

fairy lights from your local mom and pop fairy light shop like we did. We actually bought our

LED fairy lights on Amazon. Anyway, there's a reason we hang strings of fairy lights this time

of year. And there's a reason we put them on our fire escapes and on the bushes and our front

yards and not in our bedrooms or basements. There's a reason we put our Christmas escapes and on the bushes and our front yards and not in our bedrooms or

basements. There's a reason we put our Christmas trees and minoras in our front room windows.

Hell, there's a reason why the CTA, the Chicago Transit Authority, puts lights on a train and

sends it all over the city on the elevated tracks and not through the subways. It's the same reason

ancient peoples built bonfires on hilltops

on the longest, darkest night of the year. We put lights in our windows and on our elevated trains.

We put our Christmas trees and minoras in our front room windows to send a message.

To our friends and neighbors and strangers, to our social solar systems.
