Mediocrebot's Hostile Takeover Mehrathon!

As a parent, you’re surely familiar with that magical holiday moment: you give your child a fun toy that requires some amount of assembly, and they look into your eyes and say, “Mom and dad, don’t worry. I got this. I will now spend the next hour patiently working on putting this together myself, after carefully reading the instructions. If I run into any problems, I will backtrack and find out where I went wrong. And if the instructions are unclear, I will use obvious context clues and basic logic to reason my way through the trouble-spots, until alas, I have constructed the finished product.”

Sorry, is that not how it always goes? I don’t have kids, so I wouldn’t know.

But you might. And if you do, your feelings, upon seeing this sale, are two-fold. On the one hand, you want your kids to experience a truly magical Christmas, which means converting your house into a veritable winter wonderland, and this train would certainly help set the mood. On the other hand, making this purchase is essentially signing up to work on Christmas, with the only difference between this and real work being: a) it starts super early in the morning, and b) your boss is a child on the one day when even the most thoughtful, mature children start to feel a little smug and entitled.

And now, however many weeks out from Christmas, a day that should be one of the most joyous of the year, you’re already feeling inadequate and frustrated.

Which is why this seems like a good day to remind you that our parent company, A Mediocre Corporation, also runs a site that sells wine. So, maybe–if you’re already dreading your new position as director of the UTRA (Under-Tree Railroad Association), effective starting December 25th–head over to Casemates and buy yourself some good wine as a reward for the hard work you’ll do.

Or, to put it differently: once you’re done building your kids a train to Christmas-Town, punch your own red or white ticket to Chill-Ville. You’ve earned it, buddy!
