I just heard a Target commercial where the mom is telling the kid her Christmas presents before she gets a chance to open them. I also keep seeing a commercial on TV where the kid tells her parents they spent too much on her presents and that she's been a bad girl. Her parents tell her they didn't spend too much (they went to Target).
Unfortunately, my kids saw and heard these commercials, as well, and you should have seen the look on their faces. It was like, "Um, did I just see that? Should I act like I didn't? Is Santa real? What the hell is going on?"
Target sucks. Didn't I hear something about WalMart blowing it for kids last year in their commercials, as well?
What the heck? We don't have Target but come on...don't they think? I'm happy we have very little television..consumerism sucks...
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. How did it ruin it for Santa? Do all of your kids gifts come from Santa? At our house they get them from both.
ReplyDeletemama, you are brilliant ... we've never done it that way, but it would sure save a lot of hiding crap. i could just say, "i'm going shopping for your Xmas gift" and "I'm wrapping your gift", etc. cool.
