I like your first paragraph. It just needs a bit of perspective to see how ridiculous it all is. I would have thought the US would have it worse though? I've moved about 8 hours' travel from my parents (that's longer than JFK-LHR), yet still manage to see them (separately) about every 8 weeks.
The consumer/shopping thing is just as silly. But the whole pressurized Christmas atmosphere isn't as bad, because we've got Thanksgiving as another family and food orgy. ;-)
