A Rant Against The Birthday Treat Bag

 

My kids are way past the birthday party with balloons and streamers age.  They much prefer to be taken out to a nice restaurant for their birthday celebrations.  And I can't be more thankful that those days are past.  Birthday party-throwing was not something I enjoyed or excelled at. 

Even now, I shudder when I hear the words Chuck E. Cheese.  So I found this article, Please Stop the Treat Bag Madness, by John Cain to be interesting, if not a little painful to read (memories of ice-cream gooey fingers past).  Enjoy!
