With a Snowball Maker, children will touch the snow only to throw each snowball, avoiding uncomfortably wet or cold hands and gloves. For those who enjoy their fires cool and refreshing and their ice water warm and toasty. Or maybe just those who like throwing frozen water at each other without all the hassles of frozen water. How rich can you get? You won’t have cold hands… Oy. This thing is so stupid… And the picture, don’t you like the plaster snowballs, and the “ice” and “snow?”
Ok Folks…
Let’s think about Christmas for just a second. Most Americans head to Wal-Mart in the masses to buy junk in bulk for family and friends – stuff that inevitably ends up sitting in the attic, closet, or junkyard. This is the age of quantity over quality. The time of advertising, over-consumption, and general ridiculousness.
It doesn’t take an over-sized intellect to realize that the American economy is morally questionable at best. The impact our consumption patterns have on the environment, the less-fortunate members of the human race, and even our own well-being has been well-documented. Trust me.
I won’t go on a long diatribe for my first post – but all cynicism aside, please reconsider your gift ideas and the way you spend your time, money, and mental energy. There really are healthier, happier, and morally upright ways to enjoy the holidays. Merry Christmas!
