HO! HO! HO!

Hi All, let me be the first to say Merry Christmas to everyone as I may not
have much time later.

Have bought some great presents this year. In the past Freddie's present has
disapeared to his mothers house for months on end so to get my own back (or
ensure that it stays here this year, I have bought him a drum kit! Ho Ho Ho!

Because Freddie's shoes always come back from her place encrusted in mud on
the tops and in dog turd underneath, I have bought her a shoeshine kit, Ho
Ho Ho!

Love to all, Dennis

so to get my own back (or

And this is a gift you *want* to stay at your house ( :- 0


My son has cleaned out the kitty litter boxes for months and saved up to my a
Ninento DS. I couldn't convince him to wait till after xmas to buy it so
he'll have it this week.

But for Christmas he's getting a piece of paper saying he still has the money
he saved for it cuz the DS is from me ;-)

I'm like the approach, except that my sister uses it too! We returned home
from her house yesterday with a gift for my son that was specifically to
come home, oh, and the batteries are nicely wrapped on top of the package.
I'm afraid.

That's a generous idea but I am wondering if he'll miss out on the
satisfaction of earning it himself?...

I love your Christmas spirit!

Not that I asked your opinion - but duh - he DID earn it himself, regardless if
I give him another $100 or not. That's why I let him do it instead of saying
he could have it for christmas.

Geesh and you don't think you are hypercritical fo EVERYTHING I say or do, here
you are criticizing my damn presents for my kids. You are a piece of work.

We did the exact same thing with my son, he saved his money for an Xbox, and
purchased it at the end of November. My husband, however, simply could not
wait and helped out by upgrading to the Crystal version, plus buying another
game. I know better than to let those two go shopping by themselves.

Our boy is very proud of himself that he saved for it, and understands that
the upgrading is part of his Christmas present. None of this took away from
the fact that he saved enough himself.

Seems like a win win- he gets to save and earn something himself, you get
to
give him an even bigger surprise -everyone is happy.

Definately. Teaching kids these days the value of a buck and earning what
you want isn't that easy it seems. Compared to his best friend, I have a
juniorslaveboy. We made sure to praise him a great deal, and his dimples
come out.


Wish I sort of thought that's what the holdays were for...


Yeah well, my dearest darling was shopping without me again yesterday.
