...from a 7 yr old....
Mother and daughter are out shopping for a birthday gift this morning. We limit "shopping" to the minimal, as in the grocery store once a week. A handful of stores accomplish this for us, simple and local mostly. My daughter has only been to a mall twice (we will leave that for a later post, lol). Being a larger family, our experience has led us to pick the 'off' hours to go to the supermarket. Being that it is Saturday, the rush of people out shopping was a bit hectic, which stimulated my daughter's awareness of the commercialism of Valentine Day....
"Hey Mom? It's kinda weird that they sell stuff for Valentine's day and call it Valentine's Day, they sell stuff for Halloween, and call it Halloween, then how come for Christmas they just say Happy Holiday??"
Anyone brave enough to attempt to share their answer to a 7 yr old??
