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 |

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 ;-) HO HO HO Joelle The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page - St Augustine Joelle |

Love to all, Dennis 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. Lisa |

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

satisfaction of earning it himself?... 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.

Joelle The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page - St Augustine Joelle 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. Lisa |

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.
