"An E-bay Christmas"

Our Christmas commercial watch continues. This spot from e-bay, while funny, is also kind of...well...sad. The family presents well. They are all very dressed up and festive. However, the dynamics of how they relate to one another betray their put together exterior. Consider the dynamics. The spoiled daughter complaining in the midst of the family celebration, Uncle Dale (obviously out of touch with reality and way to into himself), Dad (behind the girl) immediately buys his daughter the gift she wants, the Aunt Carla storms out after her throw pillow from last year is insulted (while Aunt Carla is right to be insulted, she was checked out from the family gathering doing her knitting), and the guy leading the singing that is obviously not picking up on the negative vibes the girl put out. Now, I know that this is humor. I get it. And I laughed. But, I do thank God that this is not my family (and my family is pretty loopy).
