I really thought this whole unicorn thing would be a phase. But no, here we are five years in to yet another holiday cycle with wishlists filled with fantasy.
My 6-year-old is so serious about this topic that she specifically requested a “unicorn AND alicorn birthday party.”
I…didn’t realize there was a difference.
