Best Christmas gift you ever got?

[kathydwells]

Do you remember the commercial for Seiko watches "My Seiko's still here but my husband is not"? Well, my ex got me a gold Seiko watch for Christmas one year. I had wanted one forever, anyway, he surprised me with one, and then the next month left me. So, I alway's joked about it. I told everyone "My Seiko's is still here but my husband is not". It was a good thing!!!

Miss Kitty currency --- how fun!

Your son sounds very cool, how interesting a "stocking list".

I say Dylan is odd because he is not like me at all. And like SS said about her son....he makes me look at things in a totally different way. He frustrates the heck out of me sometimes too. He seems to be a natural leader, always wanting to be different. For instance. EVERYONE up here is a buckyeye fan. When he started school he decided he liked Michigan, our biggest rival. Broke his Dad and his Grandad's hearts too. Anyway, now all the third grade boys like Michigan. He's not happy. LOL He's not really into sports as much as other boys his age. He started playing Lacrosse last Spring and really likes it so I hope that will be his thing. He'll play Upward Basketball at our church this winter but that's not so serious. Most boys are sooo into playing football right now and he's so not. He has lots of friends that are girls and on recess he hangs out with them. From what I hear is quite the ladies man but if you asked him they are all just friends!!

Please give out some other stocking stuffer ideas!!! (We olny got apples and tangerines in ours!)

Love the dollar bill with the Miss Kitty on it! Hilarious!

I love buying all the little things for the kids stockings. As Dylan mentioned in his list I buy new fun toothbrushes and kids flavored toothpaste, bubble bath, special candy that I won't buy normally, lip gloss or chap stick, earrings, any small toy like matchbox cars or polly pockets. There are so many ideas out there for stockings now a days. I think Target has a whole area of just stocking stuffer items. A few scratch off's are going in this year too.

..... special candy that I won't buy normally....

I like to do this also --- buy some stuff that I have said no to all year for whatever reason. Makes the stocking stuff more special that way.

Mine always get the gold chocolate coins, because I did. I don't think they ever eat them come to think of it!!!! I pick little things up over the months heading into Christmas and then just hope I can remember where I put them! Nothing too expensive, although now that they are older, car wash, Itunes and coffee gift cards are good. I found these weird stress balls that you squeeze (or in my case...THROW) at Walgreens. For fun and to be "silly", I think they will get bubbles this year...Molly will love them!
