What I wouldn't give to have a Green Egg dinner tonight!

Thanks Mermaid! I entered my zip code and I have a COUPON for 20% off at one of the stores!!!! Unless the ebay idiot has not bought them all, I am on a mission!!!

Although I am not on my own Christmas list, I am probably very difficult to buy for. I have everything I want or need, I try to be a minimalist, and I hate the idea of giving because you "have to." The coolest gifts I receive are things that are personal and meaningful, if only in thought, to the person(s) giving them. One of my most treasured gifts was a poem written by a friend. I would take a drawing, poem, or a hand written note, or thought over any material gift every day of the week.

I so totally agree, SJ!!! In fact, I have tried to "skip Christmas" for years, but keep getting over ruled or manipulated into participating. I think it should be about being with loved ones and doing special things together. No gifts because you "drew" their name or because you know they are getting you a gift.

We give gifts all year long and just about anytime we visit or are visted by loved ones. This year I think I've convinced my husband (and some of the family) that it will be a minimal present year.....we'll see. I'll let you know how this goes.

HO!!!! HO!!!!!

HBO.com!

DABELL...You are back and writing in riddles!!!! What does HBO.com mean and where the heck have you been?????

My Father In Law. He doesn't really NEED anything. We gave him a photo calendar last year and he refused to use it because he didn't want to "mess it up". Same with shoes, clothes, other items. He lives very frugally, even thought he doesn't have to--it drives my hubby crazy. He won't even use the answering machine, because he thinks it uses too much electricity. You gotta love him!

I tend to do all of my shopping in one day. Usually a weekday. I just start in the morning and go til I'm done. But, I have been known to be out on Christmas Eve a couple of times--for just one more gift. :roll:

This year it is Will, my 13 year old. I can't come up with anything "fun"- like something to play with. He does need a new tent and backpack, but I'm looking for something little and funny too.

Does he have a Nintendo DS?

Both kids haven't asked for much this year. One of the things Dylan wanted was an Ultimate lightsaber kit. They were sold out everywhere I went today and online too. I looked on Ebay and there were 200 of them. GRRr. I did not want to pay $10 more and $10 to ship the darn thing. I called my mom in Florida and had her check her Walmart. They had one left and she bought it!!! Yea!! I can rest easy tonight. 😀

My soon to be 13 year old has asked for a PSP (Sony Play Station Portable). That is all he wants. Just thought I would give you an idea.

Those are really cool KD, thank god my son didnt ask for one!!!! I dont think he would want to do anything else!!!! lol, he has a nice long list..... a trampoline is part of it!!!!! ;-) my 12 year old daughter wants a cell phone!!!! thats all that is on her list....she think's she is so sly..............................
like if the only thing that she writes down , she's bound to get it!!!!!!!! :roll:

the big thing in our part of town for boys (10-12) are those air soft guns, they shoot out little plastic balls......www.airsplat.com has them. just a thought......................................... ;-)

Just get him a potato cannon. 😀

You cannot buy real ones, because they are illegal in the States. However, if you want to teach your kids how to potentially pick out pieces of PVC from their friends head, here is good link on how to build one. Note, if you are shot with one, the potato can easily penetrate a human body and exit through the back side. Extremely dangerous, probably much more than guns, because they are silent, and the raw materials, costing less than about $20, can easily be assembled by a 10year old.

I had one at Auburn. Good times, glad nobody was killed though.

never heard of that before :idontno: the plastic balls that shoot out of the guns I am talking about are teeny teeny tiny, it would take a whole handful to even weigh an ounce. ;-)

The real potato guns use Idaho Spuds, the baking size.
