Ale's Christmas list

November 26th, 2007 at 06:25 pm

is totally crazy!...she found a "special toy catalogue" insert in the newspaper and copied about 1/2 of the toys advertised!...averaging $20/toy!...er, um....NO...she's already getting too much stuff as it is!...she's getting a BIKE, and that should be enough!...she's getting a Jr Scrabble (which I bought before I knew I was going to be able to afford the bike), 2 books in English and 1 in Spanish, a plush Piglet (also bought before the bike became a reality)...my cousin is giving her 1 present, and she'll get 1 from my sis + family...oh, and she's finally getting the remote control car she's been asking for the past 3 Christmases (we have a left over sample that no customer has ordered!)...
AND, I wanted to give her a 64-piece box of crayons, and asked a friend to send it (they are not available locally!) ....she sent a 120 piece box, and a 24 piece of twistable crayons, and some glitter glue AND some drawing paper...
ok, now I feel guilty!

    She sounds like my 10 year old son. We celebrate Hannukah at our house so it is 8 gifts - one for each night but some are smaller things and some are more practical things that he sort of needs anyway. He keeps coming up with more and more ideas for things he wants - really just because he sees them and they interest him at the moment. I told him I was done shopping for him already. He said "what about Santa and Grandma" cause we go to my mom's house for Christmas (I was Catholic, DH Jewish) and they get a few gifts from Santa and Grandma. I told him they were both done already too. He said, well, what about my birthday?

    LOL! Joan, even MY eyes went 00 at the sight of 120 crayons!...

    mbkonef,
    Yes, I do think that's what it is...we are getting BOMBARDED with Xmas ads, so, naturally, she wants everything in sight!...
