And time for really damn annoying Hallmark commercials.
My kids are annoying enough. I don't need chatty Cathy running around telling me how many hours until Christmas. Oh goodness no. When I first started the blog, I wrote about Joe wanting to use a Blow Dart gun on our own children. Yeah. Like we would ever do that. We dream of doing it but we don't have the guts ... or a blow dart gun.
So, when Joe and I were watching TV the other night and saw this commercial, he turned to me and said, "This commercial shows us when a blow dart gun would be an effective parenting tool."
I know Hallmark is trying to be cute but this commercial gives me reason not to buy this ornament. I don't want my children pestering me about Christmas any more than they already do. Caitlynn is already telling me every morning how many days until the big day. Miles is still clueless on the matter, however. He knows Christmas is coming but is unsure as to when. Could it be tomorrow? The day after? I can't wait! Oh the suspense for a 5 year boy who can't read a calendar.
But this annoying ornament reminds me of one we had when I was a kid. We had an ornament of a bird that chirped when you plugged it in. You are thinking... Ahhh... so cute! Sure was but every time we turn it on, our dog would go bonkers and start barking at the tree. So now you're thinking... Funneee! Yeah it was funny, until we annoyed Mom and Dad with all the chirping and barking. Not a good combo. Mysteriously one year that ornament ended up missing. Either the bird or the dog had to go...
So, I'm not going to buy any annoying ornaments for the tree. No birds chirping or Christmas countdown clocks.
I don't need the kids barking at the tree.
