Little Known Christmas Facts

While the 3 Kings get most of the credit for bearing gifts and traverse afar, it was the 3 Princesses who did the packing, arranged for the camels, got the map (really King, you're going to rely on a star?  What are your plans for the daytime?) and of course, shopped for the baby.

*** A CHRISTMAKKUAH MIRACLE ***

Last night Jake and Jack were talking before bed and, per usual, I listened at the door:

Jake - Jack, did you ask mom and dad for a computer?

Jack - No.  I asked for legos.

Jake - But, I thought you wanted a laptop?

Jack - I do.  But, I think she knows.  

Jake - Probably.  

silence for a few moments

Jake - Do you think we're greedy?

Jack - Probably.

Jake - Maybe we don't need anything.  Except I do need some new shoes.

Jack - Ok.  You ask for shoes and I'll ask for legos and I'll share them with you.

Jake - Ok.  

silence... and then, just as I was caught up in the little moment of shoes and legos...

Jake - DID YOU JUST FART?!

cue maniacal laughter

But then, I would have to address the mounds of Christmas cards staring at me and I don't want to... stop looking at me cards!  I will get to you!  Tonight.  With wine.

How goes your Christmas shopping, Internet?

I am realizing, that, with 3 children, I can no longer afford the holidays.

Because my children are consumers.

Especially the oldest.

At any given moment the child can and will rattle of a list of approximately a frillion dollars worth of merchandise that he'd like to see under the tree... a MacBook!  An enV phone!  Replace the iPod with a Zune!

How about a surf weekend to Baja?

Christmas morning could look like some pre-teen version of Mtv's, My Super Sweet Sixteen

Only with less Jesus.
