How are you getting the Wii? All info I have seen is making it look next to impossible to get your hands on one. All online presales sold out in minutes. Let me know!

You're right. I guess I didn't realize I missed the presale. That's how I got his DS 2 years ago. A while ago I told him I wasn't going to get it until it came down a little in price so he's not expecting it. Then I thougt why not? It's just about the only thing he wants so maybe...now I'm back to I guess not.

I don't have a clue. Don't want or really need anything.
Just buy gifts mainly for the kids.
I am going to try and get a TMX Elmo for the little guy in my Tar.
and of course, this years gag gift for my BIL. (We alway make or buy a silly gag gift between family)
This years is this:
MAN-go has the big FRAGILE carton at work. :funn:

I shopped one time on Black Friday. Went with my best friend. We got to the mall long before the sun came up, got a primo space, third in line when the doors to the mall opened. We both shopped til' we were ready for lunch and a BF margarita.
Over the BF margaritas we were sharing all the "great bargins" we had found . That's when we realized. We had not bought one single thing for our kids, spouses or families! Everything we bought was for ourselves!
We still shop together. We just watch the paper, pick a day during the week, still get great bargins, and shop for the people on our list. We still stop for that BF margarita on the way home though.

This Wii this is super ridiculous. After explaining it to Will, I think he gets it. Nintendo has "bundled" it with some other stuff that you have to have and 2 retailers told me it was probably going to go for about $600. Then the games are $50 each. I was advised to buy as many as I can get my hands on, because I will be able to at least double my money reselling. Sorry, but it isn't worth it to me to kill myself getting one, then totally gouge someone else to pay for mine. Screams of icky.

Right. I hate it when people on Ebay do that. TMX Elmo is a prime example. It's just kind of sad that many kids won't get one because they can't afford to pay the astonomical prices people are asking. Sounds like the Wii is like the Xbox 360 last year.

what does anyone really need anymore? if you are like most folks, if you want or need something, you just go get it. I just want a massively gorgeous Christmas tree and lots of good food and wine, and my friends and family. Santa Clause will definitely come and bring too much stuff, but spidey asks for things that I have no idea about: a big remote control rocket (he made this up), a big castle that has a dragon and knights in shining armor and the castle gets destroyed by some people but then you can build it back, and stuff like that. :roll: oh, and an airport.
made the mistake of letting him watch disney or some kids channel the other day - it was loaded with all kinds of commercials. suddenly he was asking for stuff he's never even known about.

OR it could be this castle. Clicky. When they first came out Dylan wanted it for Christmas. It was different then and VERY complicated to build. Definite parental help required. It did and still does have the cutest accessories. Toots, this is an improved version that seems good. My kids watched Nick and Disney and would have a list a mile long because of it. I do miss buying fun stuff like this though.
