Perhaps there was an old holiday season tradition, the original meaning of which has been largely forgotten and perverted in recent years.
I am referring, of course, to the practice of housewives casting hideous chairs into the street, in hopes that they will be destroyed by snowplows, so confused husbands don't just bring the chairs back in to the dining room.
