Oh boy. We now have the most corny and cheap gift possible. Mcdonalds gift cards! I saw an ad for them yesterday, and just about died. The chirpy chipper girl on the ad said, “Why not buy them something you know they already love?” Ok, I’m all about the gift cards. They make things easier for sure. But a gift card from Mcdonalds? I’m all about the thought being what counts, and Christmas not being about how much a gift is, but I think only kids under 12 should be allowed to buy those. If anyone older than that buys someone one of those, it just smacks of a line from the song “Didn’t I Get this Last Year?” from Bob Rivers where he says, “Surprise…surprise, a coupon for some fries, that was really very thoughtful you guys!” Like come on, I think I can come up with a better Christmas gift than, “Here, go buy a cheeseburger.”
