I really wanted to entitle this The Non-Christmas Christmas App That I Wasted My Money On And Am Incredibly Mad About, but I thought that would be a bit too long and obnoxious.
The other morning I was snuggling deep in my bed with # 3 and #4 (Enu and Elle) and we were playing Holiday Angry Birds. An add popped up for a Christmas App. It was Talking Tom’s Christmas or something of that sort. So I buy it to make the kids happy…$0.99 cents or $1.07 with tax. A drop in the bucket for my children’s Christmas happiness right?
So we play. We feed Santa, tickle Santa, make Santa laugh and so on and so forth. Then one of the girls presses a button and Santa MOONS US! That’s right, the big guy drops his pants and shows us his holiday greeting underwear. But wait, there is more! You can personalize his undies and email the picture to someone! Yeah! Just what I want to send out to my dear ones. Santa’s undies. Not. Big time not. Royally ticked off at the waste of my money not.
I have four children. I have enough farting, burping and bodily function jokes and stories told at my table and in my life. I don’t need Santa to egg them on.
So if you ever design a Christmas app, please keep it Christmasy and leave out the mooning.
Please.
I might just buy your app if you do ;)
