amiller17 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Of course my son is first on my list! He's all boy, so most of the time he's nice and naughty! Some of the things he comes up with I couldn't repeat on here and he is only 5!
mrn8 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 My wife is. My son will get something, but he's too young to remember or care.
amiller17 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Posted October 7, 2005 My wife is. My son will get something, but he's too young to remember or care. The first part is the perfect answer for a husband to say - but remember if your wife is like most mom's she has a baby book that she will write in and so you need to get the little one something extra special because years later it' ll be there in print for him to read what you got him for Christmas - especially if it's his first year. My son's dad is a jerk and I am having a hard time filling in his baby book because of things like this. He turned 5 in Sept. and Dad still hasn't gotten him a card or anything, but he has the money to buy hunting gear, license for him and his other son and other things that he wants. It may not bother my son to read it 15 years from now but I don't know that for sure and I don't want to write lies. So far I just omit it. If he ask when he is older I will tell him.
elena_398 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 No one naughty this year. Of course I threaten the kids when their bad that Santa won't bring them anything (I know so cruel), but all in all they're pretty good!
Booterbunz Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 My daughter, since she'll be old enough to rip into the gifts this year and of course hubby since he'll just be getting home from Iraq!
hhockman Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 My older son (he's 3 1/2). Like the PP, he's old enough to really enjoy it this year (last year he just liked opening the paper, didn't care what was inside). And also my younger son. He won't remember a thing, but it's his first Christmas. And my husband. I guess.
Gator Pam Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Husband, Paul, and my 12 year old son, Beorn. Beorn is particularly difficult to shop for as he has mild Asperger's Syndrome and never really expresses interest in anything for a gift. He's never written a letter to Santa, or a wish list. So I have to observe him and guess at what his current interest is.

If he ask when he is older I will tell him.Oh, don't get me wrong, he'll get some stuff he needs and I'll get him something special to commemorate his 1st Christmas, but I've already got a really good idea of what to get my wife, so she's top on my list this year. Can't post it here, since she register (but doesn't post ).
Steakgoddess Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Oh heck, I'm the only naughty one in this family. I need to shop for the kids.
Grants Dad Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 My wife is. My son will get something, but he's too young to remember or care. If your newborn's christmas is like my son's 1st christmas, you won't need to worry about him getting things. While the new Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors spoiled him rotten, we just got him an oak toybox and storage containers..... and besides, they don't play with the toys nearly as long as they play with the boxes
BigBob Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 I always try to buy something naughty for her just to be nice !
Kandy Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 My kids 12 & 10 are # 1 on my list, then the hubby.
Guest Deals4Me Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 <--- Hey Ross...I just noticed something when I was randomly looking at other people's profiles to see the referals amount. And noticed something.... We're Birthday Buddies... 9 years apart but still...December 13 Did youknow its St.Lucia's day?
outnumbered Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 My kids. I decide what I'm getting them and look for deals on those things way before I think about other family members.

Guest DigDoug Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Oh, don't get me wrong, he'll get some stuff he needs and I'll get him something special to commemorate his 1st Christmas, but I've already got a really good idea of what to get my wife, so she's top on my list this year. Can't post it here, since she register (but doesn't post ).So your wife lurks??? Hi Mrs Nate!! There's no one on my list really. Just typical gifts/money/giftcards for the parents, siblings, grandparents, maybe my uncle, his wife and my cousin.
RossMAN Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 No soup for them?I was thinking the exact same thing
cajunrebel Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 My 8 yr old granddaughter. I have custody of her so she is my priority. Then come the other grandkids, after her.
RossMAN Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Hi cajunrebel, to the forums, please make yourself at home :)
joonshin Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 No soup for them?you are damn right. no soup for them! guys, i know christmas is about giving and not receiving. but i'm the youngest of my family and i really go all out getting them presents. but i get jack! and they all are older, make more money, etc, it just goes on. i still have way more debt than any of them. so this year, touch luck on them. i'm just going all out for my fiance.
Tracy72 Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 we have way to many to buy for....we get for like 20 people ....sheww way to many...lol
genoandkiddo Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 <--- I agree. My kids well they are all done so, I guess even if they were bad santa would still come. It's ME NOW. ALL ME.
disneytati Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 <--- same here!!! well, I'll also buy my husband a little something, and my baby some toys... but after I get all my stuff!!!!!!
MrsHoneybee Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 <--- Well hopefully I'll be first on your list otherwise.... cajunrebel!
amiller17 Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 December babies are the best aren't they? <--- turning an ancient 31 this year <insert old man's walking cane>I have to agree 110% with that one - Mines the 17th of December . BUT the 13 has always been my favorite number. My first love was born on the 13th (april) and my last love, my son's dad's, is the 13th but it's Aug. -- I like 13 before either of them and AFTER both of them are gone too. lol! :flame:
