Now wait a minute, Susie. Just because every child can't get his wish that doesn't mean there isn't a Santa Claus.
I guess I'm lucky my stepdaughter rarely asks for anything specific! I don't think she even knows about Christmas lists, though...
We usually just pick presents and hope she likes 'em; she's fairly easy to please, though, so she likes just about everything she gets.
. . . way back when I was a kid, we didn't usually get our first choices at Christmas. Our Mom & Dad did the Santa's List method and we would usually get one or two of the things we asked for, depending on the cost, of course! ;D
Consider buying them a retro gift like Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots or Creepy Crawlers work shop! They'll have a blast and so will you as your transported back in time of Christmas' past
When I was a kid, seems like all the big store put out nice Christmas catalogs...I seem to remember a JCPenney, Sears and Mongomery Ward catalog in the house, but seems Sears was the big one. Mom would give us the catalog and I would sit down with it and circle the things I wanted or put my name next to it and then my younger brother would have his turn and possibly my youngest brother, but he was so little, I can't remember if he took part in that. When I was a kid, Christmas and our birthday was about the only time in the year, we actually got 'gifts'. Oh, we might get a small gift once in a great while, but not often and as a result, those two days were big times for us.
I Love This Christmasy Time of Year!
I agree, seeing the looks on the faces of family, when they open my/our gifts, makes me one big, fuzzy, warm, smile!
