Ho Ho Ho--Walmart in November

Yesterday, Grant and I made a sweep through Walmart to pick up some necessities. His new favorite area of Walmart is the Christmas area. He loves the big, inflatable, tacky lawn ornaments and snow globes that line the Walmart Christmas section. It's a cornicopia, a veritable pantheon, of visual delight.

We went down an aisle yesterday that had a plethora of singing stuffed animalsantathingys. They sang and rocked and jiggled their hips to Christmas music. Grant was interested (but not excited) at watching them on the shelf, but he was none too happy when I brought one into the cart.

I'd like to think that Grant's displeasure (as seen in the video--you have to watch until the end) is a sign that he thinks that we have overdone the whole singin' Santa thing in this country

In other (semi-related) news, Grant did just learn how to sign "thank you," so he should be ready to accept the mounds of gifts he's expecting this Christmas from his grandparents.
