December Blues
December is nearly here, which means it’s time to feel bad once again about not giving … or getting … a Lexus for the holidays. That’s the spirit of those now time-honored ads featuring the spouse who’s told to take a gander at the driveway on Dec. 24, only to be blown away by a luxury car sitting there with a huge-ass red bow.Two years ago, the New York Times published a piece swearing-to-goodness that people really do get Lexi with big red bows for the holidays. In fact, the article states “the demand for the oversize red bows is so strong that Lexus stockpiles them in a warehouse near its North American headquarters in Torrance, Calif.”
Really? That’s hard to believe. Every year, I look up and down my block on Christmas (or Hanukkah for that matter) and see only cardboard boxes for computers and an occasional flat-screen t.v. Maybe I need to live in a better part of town... Oh no, something else to feel bad about. Thanks, Lexus!
