I have a holiday gripe ..

Ok … I keep seeing these car antlers all over the place. In fact, I even ran over one of them the other day that must come off when the soccer mom was peeling out of the Target driveway. WTH? Who would put these on their car?

I mean … I understand having them on your car if you’re a teenage girl … but I’ve seen plenty of grown women driving around with them and seriously have to wonder WHY. Did someone buy them for them as a cruel joke? Did they lose a bet? Are they trying to keep the “Santa” dream alive so they’re masquerading as a Reindeer?  I mean really … WHY?

    Ha! I have only seen adults with these too, I don’t think teens would be caught dead with them.

    I think that was my antler you ran over after I “peeled out” of the Target parking lot! lol Seriously, as a mom with young kids, I betcha those are the adult women who have those on their car - for the kids. And no, I don’t have them myself!! :)

    Maybe, hopefully, they are moms trying to embarrass their kids. You know … stayed up late texting and didn’t study for the Algebra test and got a D? You know what that means honey, the antlers go back ON the car!

    Cathy … I know for a fact that NONE of the teens I know would put those on their cars - as if!
    Jodycakes … uh yeah … get outta my head ;-)
    Amy … sorry I ran over your antler ;-)
    Louise … haha I didn’t think about it THAT way … maybe you’re onto something.

    … still … I think it’s a little nuts … ok more than a little.

    I hadn’t seen any of those. This takes car decorating to new levels of silliness. I don’t really get decorating your car for the holidays! Like the SUV’s with Christmas wreaths attached to the front! I don’t know why they bother me but I cringe when I see them!

    Those little beetley bug cars lend themselves to playing dress up, but I’m trying to envision a Chevy Suburban with antlers and a red nose …. nope, ain’t happenin’.

    Oh too funny that other people are wondering about these. Steve was just griping about them the other day.

    I like my antlers.

    I think they are cute, I do it for the 16 month old and to embarrass my stepkids :)

    I also like to make people smile and that I have done :) they look cute on a PT.
