Personally, I just all of my friends and family to be happy and healthy

But I do want to learn how to play guitar.

I was fortunate to find a wii in July that has been put back for Christmas...between that and the games to go with it...Santa's not bringing a whole lot more...just a few surprises and that will be it!

If you're looking for a Wii, you might want to start ASAP, as they are supposed to be in short supply again for the holidays.... Although not as bad as last year, but still demand will be high. (I got one last year, had to wait in line for like 4 hours, not too bad considering... it was my 'present', but the keets play it

)

We're not really sure about our keets... Trampoline and new bikes are on the "possible" list. Legos are always a probablity.

I bought a Wii this last August.....found it at Target...no problem as they had lots...

It is fun...the sports games are sooo fun! Our keets also have DS's and they have a lot of fun with them too....

After watching a program about trampoline injuries...I'd worry about the ER trips too. One thing everyone they talked to said...don't let more than one kid on at at time...that seems to be when the most (and worst) injuries occur.

My brother got a Wii....for the kids. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. So all we're supposed to get them for Christmas is Wii games. Leave it to my bro to s*** the fun out of everything.

My nephew loves his computer...he's quite savvy with it. He even sends me emails...and he's 6.

He got a color printer for his bday...so I'm trying to figure out what I could get him for the computer. I thought a supply of ink and paper might be welcome, but if anyone has any bright ideas I'd love to hear them. And I'm at a loss for my niece...she's 4.

No No No

please refrain from speaking about Christmas til Thanksgiving. As much as I love Christmas I'm sickened by the site of Christmas decorations, gifts, yada yada yada....etc being placed out in the stores already

On top of that, it gets earlier and earlier each year, it won't be long when the 4th of July will start the Christmas shopping frenzy

I've been suggesting to the keets instead of getting a bunch of toys they will be tired of playing with in about a week or so we save a good portion of the Christmas money and go to Costa Rica next summer.

My oldest is already on board

, now to convince my youngest.

its way to early to think about Christmas gifts.

I have no idea. My keets are 25, 23 and 16. I ask for a list at the end of October then shop for the next 2-3 weeks and wrap it up by Thanksgiving. Nieces and nephews get gift cards.

NOW STOP TALKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS!!!! You're freaking me out!!

I've been trying to convince my three of that for years. They can't agree on a place and can't figure out a good time for them all to be able to take off. So it'll be some games for their system, some clothes,,etc.

OOOh little girls are easy

is she a girly girl? If so - you can NEVER go wrong with barbies, babies, tiara's, boas, etc.

I love shopping for my two nieces and grandaughter - it's the two nephews and grandson that give me fits - boys are hard
