Car Antlers - Absurd Holiday Trend

Sending some jubilant cheer to our friends at Melissa and Doug!

First off--whoop whoop and a fist pump!! The Gals are officially out of the shop until January 3rd! I had this surreal, exuberant joy while leaving work today--it was as if I was in third grade and starting Christmas break. Stay tuned...we have some amusing activities planned for our time off!

Now on to business. Has anyone else seen a HUGE influx of reindeer antlers (red noses on the grill optional) on vehicles this year? What is going on with this epidemic? Did The Gals totally miss out on some sort of amazing retail trend?

This past week, we were out and about delivering some holiday gifts, when we spotted a car with reindeer antlers. The festive car flair (complete with small jingle bells, mind you) stuck out on this yellow car like a sore thumb.

Cue brief, snarky, sleep deprived commentary:



While pulling into a parking garage, no more than 15 minutes later, we were catapulted into a reindeer car antler breeding ground.

We were flabbergasted by the astronomical amount of antlers. Most logical thing to do...take pictures of every single holiday car trend victim.

And no joke, this is quaint 3 story parking garage...

As you may be able to tell--it was just a downright nasty rainy day. Can only imagine how incredibly waterlogged those car decorations were.

Our apologies to any of our readers, but we DO NOT get it. What is the pleasure in "festing out" your car with such an inane accessory? Why would you want to outfit your car to resemble an animal?

Are we the only ones...or is this an utter festive faux pas?

  2. True, Emma! And whoever did that to a Mini -- that's sacrilege!

    I thought the wreaths and red bows on the front grills were bad. These are much worse.
