Even the merchandising linked with new movies is over the top. Unfortunately this sort of stuff is wave one, wave two will be when all their friends start telling them about the latest and greatest new toy. <br />Glad you like the new blog, keep in touch.TheFurLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954307332089709481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884804306268723751.post-54354218450656801732011-11-18T05:29:56.524-08:002011-11-18T05:29:56.524-08:00Shannon!

We are a very limited TV family and for the past several years, my kids' Christmas "lists" have consisted of things like, "A gumball machine and finger puppets." or "A spy glass and chairs for my little legos". Their wants are simple and sweet. People say, "Oh, your daughter's not into [fill in the blank] yet? Just give her time." And I pity those people, because if they would just turn off the tube, their daughters wouldn't be "into it" either! If I could only get the in laws on board, we could completely do away with the plastic, crappy, made-in-china, breaks in two days stuff at Christmas this year!! <br /><br />I look forward to keeping up with you...Amy Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798327020826036980noreply@blogger.com
