So I've been seeing this one commercial that drives me absolutely bonkers. It's a Gap "holiday" commercial and it's got a really catchy beat. But the lyrics are insulting...at least to me.
Why do we celebrate during this particular two month period? There's a national holiday and everything. And it sure isn't for Solstice or the non holiday that is Kwanza.
Their commercial at least includes the word Christmas, but the spirit is definitely not there. They throw a shout out to Kwanza, Solstice, Hannukah (that one doesn't bother me ... although that also isn't why most of us celebrate this season), and to a new one that I've never heard of...
"Happy do-whatever-you-wannika" ... really? REALLY?
We want to celebrate a do whatever you want holiday? We want to celebrate dumb kids like this???
'Tis the season after all.
I like Gap clothing (the style at least) but their commercial REALLY turns me off. I'm not getting ready to celebrate Solstice or Kwanza or "do whatever you wannika". I'm getting excited and ready to celebrate Christmas. CHRISTMAS is the reason stores have sales and federal employees' get the day off (as do most of us).
This is our first Christmas with our new baby boy...I can't wait. :)
(Yes, I've already taken him to get Christmas photos. *grin* Target does a GREAT job!)

First and foremost, Marshal is absolutely adorable! I'm so happy for you and your new family! May you have a beautiful year of firsts with your sweet boy!
Second, that Gap commercial bugged me, too. I think it was the almost "in your face" attitude.
Awww... he is gorgeous!!! Love seeing him in his Santa outfit. :-)
Hate the Gap commercial; at first it seemed upbeat, fun... but yes, the words are sucky.
