Random thought of the day

As the Holiday Season grows near, we are bombarded by advertising propaganda. Most of it, however, is geared toward my two daughters. By the time Christmas does arrive, Santa will have one humongous shopping list thanks to Nickelodeon. It seems that every toy has multilple other toys that are needed to function as it's intended; each one of those "sets" has a DVD and every DVD has an outfit of clothes and every outfit has matching shoes with a dress up outfit to play with and accessories. It's a vicious (and expensive!) cycle!
