Thank you.

Please send this little boy a Christmas card as he hopes to collect one million for his last Christmas... Nathan Elfrink 2415 Taylor Blair Road West Jefferson OH 43162 I received this email today ...a link to the news story is also included. http://www.columbusmessenger.com/NC/0/7519.html

Yes...we will be participating as our family is both Catholic and German and we live in the Midwest...lol However ours is just a tad different... We use our stockings, as a child when I was growing up our stockings were the very first "Christmas decoration" to come out. St. Nicholas comes on the 5th for the morning of the 6th. We've always left out our "lists" for St. Nick with our stocking and in return if the children have been good they will receive sweets. My kids haven't remembered this year yet...which is great because it will be fun to surprise them!

We have a chia pet that is still in the box and has been going around for atleast 20 years I would say. Every year people threaten to grow it but I don't think anyone ever will - I don't think it would grow anymore. lol

bummer..i'll have to try again later...i couldnt get the designer colors to come up

OK...I have a really stupid question...I was sifting through this thread and saw mention of issues trying to view webkinz on a netbook and that you go to google to get a fix....well that got me a little concerned. I had planned on getting a netbook just because it would be cheaper than a lot of the laptops for our child...I just assumed that a netbook was a miniature version of a laptop and therefore just reduced the size of everything. With this mindset I just assumed it would reduce the size of viewing for a normal screen...I guess the question is - will there be a lot of issues in viewing websites with a net book?

Perhaps you might consider just doing an exchange for the children and gifting to your parents. If there are adults who want to participate than maybe you could do a theme of needed items for a local shelter or other charity and donate your items to them. Or...let the adults participate who want to participate and then let the others do what they want. It sounds to me like they have given it a lot of thought and are choosing not to participate for reasons that they may or may not want to share with you. The economy has a lot of people scared right now. Even if they aren't truly experiencing "money problems" that are visible to the outside, the cost of living has dramatically increased this year as businesses and utilities raise their costs to recapture some of their lost revenue. Plus...you never know what's going to happen tomorrow even in what you would assume is a stable job. It's always good to prepare for the future. We used to exchange for everyone years ago but cut back on the gifts over the last several years. At first I was upset, thinking that it would change Christmas....it hasn't. Gifts aren't what makes Christmas.

This year I would ask for Rose Bowl tickets to see the Buckeyes and our hometown guy Brandon Saine play. I just can't see paying $155 a ticket for a football game...let alone the cost of getting there and staying.

I know it's a little early yet but I wanted to let everyone know that it's coming up. My teen daughter loves this store. Aeropostale Friends and Family 30% off excludes markdowns Use code FFNOV

I'm a little behind this year, I'm afraid, I just haven't really had the time to dedicate to shopping.

I found this at our local Big Lots for $10

I received my cart yesterday and my son put it together. It's pretty nice. I like the removable tray. The only thing that bugs me is that the wheels are a little wobbly. Not bad for the price though, with care, I expect it to last a long time.

It now says it is $59.99 and no longer available.
