December 25, 2009

The end of Christmas. No more christmas gifts. There are no surprises left. We have everything. Now we get gift cards. What is more ridiculous than a gift card? Cash?
Even the toys for tots list gets ridiculous. Electronic games, iphones, elaborate over-designed gimmicky plastic trash.

We-have-too-much-stuff.

This generation of parents bemoans the state of their offspring's rooms. Think about it.
Who had a room of their own in previous generations? What stuff did a child own? Nothing that required electricity, batteries, or special cables.
I looked in my daughter's room the other day and realized it was impossible for her to be tidy. She simply has too much stuff to fit in one room. She needs her own apartment. But that is a subject for another post.
