A rare moment of forethought and inevitable snarkiness.

In a rare moment of forethought I was browsing through the Catholic supply catalog to find an advent wreath for our family. Although I didn't really find any that I liked for the family I did stumble across these for the kids.

Cute Right?

You had to buy four of them, but they were $2.99 each so I went for it. I figure I'll have one for each of the kiddos and then I gave the fourth one to a friend for her daughter. 

Since I found something kind of neat that I wasn't intending to buy, I decided to continue my perusal of the catalog to see what other treasures I may be missing. Then I stumbled upon this gem. 

Now, according to Autom Catholic Supply catalog, the purpose of this Adoring Santa Ornament (yep, that's its name) is to help people remember the true meaning of Christmas. It seems to me like the true purpose of this ornament is to confuse the snot out of kids. I can see the conversations now. 

"Wait Mom, so Santa was there when Jesus was born?" 

"No, he is just adoring baby Jesus." 

"Because he was there, right?" 

"No, not right."

Ah the joys of Christmas. Don't worry - at $0.99 an ornament, several of you will be getting one of these for Christmas...or maybe the Adoring Santa stickers...decisions, decisions.
