Dear Santa,

Christmas blitz begins! Decorations, commercials, jingles, zillions of flyers.. I'm not exagerating here the grown woman who drops off the flyers is too lazy to go up each driveway for each townhouse as they are not all attached so she drops off 3 stacks of the same flyers to my house at first I thought it was some schmuck kid but yesterday I found out it I was wrong it is just a lazy adult I mean ok well don't get me started on this lady.... So yeah zillions of flyers and the decorations are up at the mall even though the mall is under construction so you are walking buy build a bear under some scaffolding and watch out for that orange extension cord soon enough you will be required to strap on a hardhat to go into the mall and get to HMV.

getting to the point here...

The worst thing is the kids toy commercials and yeah there are some cool toys out there but here are two commercials I saw that left me speechless.. The first is stackers yep kids will apparently be asking for stackers which is basically 6 plastic cups and a carrying bag for them.. The idea is for your kids to stack and unstack them as fast as they can they even have a website set up where you can see the time to beat. Ok so go get them a bag of coloured beer cups... stack away....Who thought this up??? next now this one is sad cuz it sounds cool but it is obviously one of the toys that you get and your so excited only to find out they don't work and the toy you wanted oh so very badly is a piece of shit. (think the game mouse trap) This toy is a tattoo gun yes ladies and gentleman you can buy your child a big plastic tattoo gun which moves up and down. It comes with markers you put in the place of needle and ink and plastic cut outs so you can tattoo your friends or if you're really good you can free hand something.. might as well just give your kid markers to colour on themselves and their friends with. I did notice it doesn't make that awesome tattoo sound that would scare kids away from actually getting a tattoo. Seems odd to glorify something and make it into a toy when it scares most parents to death doesn't it? I say most parent's since my little mom loves my tattoo's and likes showing them off to her friends ..which is a whole other blog.
