2015 has been full of lots of great entertainment, fashion, and crazes. As busy parents it’s next to impossible to sample ALL of them. We asked our readers – what did you skip this year? What trends, books, crazes, TV shows, movies, etc. did you decide to opt out of – and why?

2015 Trends We Totally Missed

Elf on a Shelf! And Star Wars – just not into either of them.
– Holly

That dress. I don’t care what color it was.
– Jennifer

Star Wars. I know… don’t throw things.
– Shannon

Mad Men. Everybody tells me I would love it, but I never got around to it, and this year was the finale of the show.
– Stephenie

Adele. I couldn’t pick her out of a lineup and I couldn’t identify any of her songs.
– Bo

Skinny Jeans because they are from the devil.
– Brandi

The Walking Dead… my husband and I don’t like zombies. They just push the limits of believability too far, and they’re gross to look at. Just not fans.
– Nan

I’ve never seen Hunger Games or Star Wars, and I have no clue what whip nay nay means – never heard the song. However, if you’re family is looking to adopt a certain kind of dog, I’m your girl! (Animal rescue is where my spare time is spent.)
– Heather

Pretty sure I’m the only woman on the planet that has not read (nor desires to read) Fifty shades of Grey.
– Jasmine

Downtown Abbey… many of my friends tell me to sit down for THREE day’s and catch-up. I’d love it – who has THREE days to sit?
– Benita

Scandal + How To Get Away with Murder. Like, ALL of my lady friends at work are WAY into these shows and… no. Thanks.
– Sarah

Monogramming everything and Piko shirts.
– Tracy

Game of Thrones and that zombie show. The Walking Dead? Just no interest.
– Karen

I couldn’t do The 50 Shades of Grey (movie or books), the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge or Game of Thrones.
– Isha

Mailing out Christmas cards. We keep getting less and less and since I can’t just send a generic card (people expect a picture of my daughter) it’s a lot of work, time and money so I said no to it this year.
– Sally
