In the same sense that life insurance ads are really about the importance of family, sure
8 0 ReplyYeah really. Should've gone with "Santa Baby" or something.
I mean it is like the Christmas song, so it's not totally nonsense.

It's worse for me. The Christmas songs are all about love and romance, the one thing I really can't receive. It's why I can't listen to pop music for an extended without feeling depressed. For me, a consumerist song is literally refreshing compared to the constant reminders of what I've missed and will seemingly never receive.
