All She Wants for Christmas

It's very tough being a 7 year old. This is the letter that's currently taped to my fireplace doors.

(translation: This year for Christmas I want a webkinz, a movie, a basketball, Santa I have a lot of stuff I don't need any other things actually just give me whatever you have and want to give me. (PS give me a sleeping elf cap PSS give me sleeping elf shoes PSSS I have an elf costume)

Ya it's not easy being 7.

I realized I had NO IDEA what to get the two 10 year old girls in my house this year! My 5 y/o boy is easy; anything with wheels or something he can take apart and/or put together and he's set! So I had the girls write up Christmas lists. And it sort of amazed me that these two girls, two months apart in age, could have such totally different lists! It blew my mind. I love Riley's, though. Very detailed! LOL

Live the fireplace placement. We write letters in our house also. Here is a hint for you ~ EVERYONE writes letters. Mom, Dad, all the children (18 on down). You may ask for 3 things (a al the wisemen gifts). This way I figure I get a chance of getting everyone something they want.

No letters and you get underwear! The oldest know they DO NOT ask for outrageous gifts (car, Apple Computer/ipod type things). It has worked pretty well. I have a little wooden mailbox that we decorated which the letters go into, and once Santa takes them, there are usually candy canes left from the elves.

Merry Christmas!! And, btw, check out Oriental Trading Company for Elf Shoes/Hat. If nothing else, you can eyeball them if they have them and get an idea how to make some out of felt.

Please keep that letter so she can crack up as much as I did when she's older.

It gets harder as they get older.

*sigh*

I still haven't had Charlie sit down and write out his letter to Santa yet. Maybe this weekend.
