The theme throughout this entire commercial is that Christmas not only all about buying presents, but it's all about the STRESS and ANXIETY involved in hiding those presents and keeping them away from the prying eyes of children (and adults because SPEND SPEND SPEND) until December 25. How freaking heartwarming.
Nothing about this makes the holiday look like something to celebrate. All I see is a lot of near-panic and Mission Impossible-level planning that must go in to keeping the evidence of over-the-top spending away from the eventual recipients of Capital One's Credit For Everyone policy.
By the way, I've watched this commercial at least half a dozen times and I still don't understand what that little kid is saying at the end- I know it's Santa something, but I can't figure it out. I have a guess, though: Whatever he's saying, it translates into "Mom and Dad either bought this for me two years ago and forgot it was buried in the back of the garage, or they think I'm three and not five, because by the time it's warm enough to cruise around the neighborhood I am not going to fit into this thing."
