My kids don't have a 'list',persay. They just bombard me with their wants.lol. I try to get them what they consistently ask for,but only one big ticket item that comes from Santa. I tell them,"You won't get eveything you want,but you will LOVE everything you get." They've never whined about not getting something, ever. Also,when I get tired of the new "wants",I just tell them I'm already done with their shopping--lol.
