It's Christmas. Give a Garmin.

I love the Christmas season, but dread hearing Christmas music, now that I have kids. They don't like the traditional standards, so no White Christmas or I'll Be Home For Christmas or Silent Night. They opt instead for Frosty, Rudolph, Jingle Bells, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. And we must hear them over and over and over for maximum enjoyment. The only compromise is Brody's favorite again this year, which is Little Saint Nick by the Beach Boys. It's catchy, but not something you would expect a kid to pick with all the annoying seasonal songs out there.
Which brings me to my point. Brody is learning to sing and Georgia often helps him fill in the gaps when he forgets words. But the words are often not the correct ones which makes for some semi-silent parental snickering in the front seat. Today, I distinctly heard Georgia continually humming Carol of the Bells, which I personally do not like because of a junior high band instructor and the chimes, but that is a different story. As she hummed on, she kept garbling some words in the middle instead of saying the actual lyrics of merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas. I asked her what she was singing and so she sang "Give a, give a, give a, give a Garmin." It didn't register for a while, until I realized she had seen the commercial for the Garmin GPS. Christmas commercialism at its best.
