I'm a snuggiologist

[Wall-E1]

I always laughed at the commercials for Snuggies and made fun of anyone that I saw with one. How ridiculous they looked. I purchased one for a friend a few weeks back as a "joke" gift. We all tried it on at the party. Nobody wanted to give it up, once trying it on. Well, my birthday just passed and I got one of the new micro fiber Snuggies. I have now become what once I mocked. Without this turning into a religious thread, I have now joined the Church of Snuggiology. We believe in and worship our Snuggies. We wash them on the gentle cycle. We don't share them, even with loved ones. We treat them as a member of our family. I'm so happy with my new Snuggie that I could just "jump the couch" on Oprah. My son laughs at me when I lounge around the house in my new Snuggie. We'll see how much he is laughing when I show up to his next soccer game wearing my Snuggie. I know that he is just jealous, anyway. Are there any other DISers out there who are Snuggie carrying members?

I haven't tried it yet -but...
My DD (age 11) makes fun of them every time she sees the commercial-
"It's just a BLANKET" she whines -what is the big deal?"

So guess what Santa is bringing her?
Actually -me thinks she doth protest too much- and she secretly wants one.

I am glad to hear you like yours

That's so funny, because Santa is bringing my son a Snuggie also. I'm going to make that his "big" gift this year. They make fun of us now, but just wait until they try it on. It's like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". You look like the same person, but are forever changed. The same will happen to our children. They will become believers.

They do look like they are part of some bizarre church don't they?

Look at their smiles. They are truly joyous in that photo, completely filled with love. You can't fake that kind of emotion. I truly believe that if we all wore Snuggies there would be no war or suffering. We would all be too happy to bother with such trivialities. We really should go door to door to spread the good word.

My DD 12 will be getting one from Santa this year, but guess what? She asked for it.

What kind of crazed children are you raising??!?!???!

 

[OK!]

I do not own a Snuggie because I can't bring myself to buy one, no matter how fabulous it may turn out to be, but I am thinking about buying one for my dad's dog for Christmas. My dad will doubtlessly have a stroke about it, but the dog is a Shih Tzu and is neurotic as the day is long and tends to shake when he gets upset about things (thunderstorms, someone coughing, people cheering during baseball/hockey/football games, invisible molecules floating in the air, etc.) and I'm hoping that this might be comforting to him.

As long as you don't wear yours to the movies like the wierdos in the commercials do, I think your OK.

I have two cats and I was thinking of getting one of them a Snuggie (the extra small dog size would fit her perfectly). I would only get one because I only have one normal cat. The other cat would scratch the retinas out from both of my eyeballs if I ever tried to put a single article of clothing on her.

I would so do that. Currently, I keep a flannel shirt in the trunk of my car and use that as my "movie blanket". I guess I'll be movin' on up and wearing my Snuggie on movie night.

You live in Florida....South Florida! Just how cold can it get there that you need a snuggie?

I will never own one of those. I'm usually too hot, never cold (oh the joys of hormones!!!).

You're cracking me up.
Nope, not interested myself. But glad you like yours. (I'm not drinking the kool-aid).

We just had a bitter cold front come through over Thanksgiving. Temperatures dropped to near 50 degrees - perfect Snuggie weather. I thought for a while there that I would be shoveling snow to create a pathway through my palm tree lined driveway, just to get to my car.

That's exactly what I was thinking!!

 

[clarabelle]

You know -now that I think about it -our church is kind of cold (lots of stone and brick with marble floors)
Do you think anyone would notice if I started wearing one to church??
That would save me the pesky chore of trying to find matching heels, skirt, blouse.

Could you just imagine how Christmas Eve Mass would look if everyone was wearing a royal blue Snuggie? It would look absolutely angelic.
