"Reason's Harvest" is the world's newest holiday, but concerns itself with something that has been around for millenia: the happiness-invoking production of the rational mind. Reason's Harvest is celebrated globally each year on the day following the US Thanksgiving Day: a day when many people deny having any power to produce anything. Reason's Harvest occurs on the first shopping day of the Christmas season, which is one of the biggest retail days of the year; a day on which those who ultimately hate Mankind (and other evil or otherwise irrational individuals) have claimed as "Buy Nothing Day". Join host Paul McKeever as he celebrates Reason's Harvest, buying and using conveniently-packaged goods and services, and buying things from extremely successful businesses like McDonalds and Wal-Mart. Along the way, Paul considers why all such things exist, and how they relate to the purpose of life. If you plan to celebrate Reason's Harvest in 2008, this video will most certainly be the first to show you how. In closing: Go Thank Yourself!
