Last year, one of my daughters sent Santa only one item, to be sure she would get it. The strategy worked so well, that she repeated it this year.

Looks like it’s make-or-break on your son’s list! Good luck! The tape recorder for your daughter is hilarious!

Merry Christmas!

Awwww, I read your daughters list and thought, that looks like a list I would have had as a kid(replace Jonas with New Kids on The Block, though)!

With your son, depending on his behavior, a good idea might be to give him most of the money (in cash) and tell him he’s got to save or work his way to the rest (maybe the last $50 bucks or so). That’s a good life lesson for a kid and a chance for them to learn to appreciate the value of dollar.

That’s hilarious, I love your daughter’s list so cute. My 6 year old wrote down everything he could think of going for more of a shotgun approach and my 8 year old has never really communicated exactly what he wants. My 6 year old is frantic for him thinking he will be getting nothing, and the 8 year old says it’s too late Santa is packing up so I’ll get what I get. Facebook was then mentioned as a possibility for reaching him. Too much fun.

I suspect the Xbox 360 might be somewhat easy to swallow for Dad’s use after the kids go to sleep? I hear Modern Warfare is fantastic.

My boys will be getting some official Red Ryder BB gun’s and I’m terribly excited about that. I love Christmas! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

@David: My son is definitely crazy like a fox sometimes.
@Tim: I thought the tape recorder was funny too. When Nina told me why she wanted it, I had to do everything in my power not to keep from laughing because she was so serious about it. LOL
@Ashley: You don’t know my son. If I gave him, say, $150 for Christmas and told him to save or work his way to the rest of it, that money would be gone faster than you could say “ho, ho, ho!” In fact, if I know my son (and I do), Matthew would most likely end up spending the money on pop rocks, paper clips, and rubber bands.
@Paul: Merry Christmas to you and yours too! Your kids seem to have a well-reasoned approach to the whole Santa thing. It does help that I will be able to take advantage of the XBox thing. I’ll have to make sure Matthew get Modern Warfare for his B-Day – assuming I, I mean, he gets his XBox. Re: The RedRyder BB guns… LOL! You haven’t had to pull your son’s tongues off of any metal poles have you? LOL
