[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 102202, member: 1514"] Only one of my kids had the "greedies" as I call it. That was Billy. He would tear through everything really fast at our place then want to rush over to my moms house to see what she got him because she always got him a bunch of stuff too and not my other two boys much of anything. He was never really appreciative of what we got him as a kid. He grabbed it up and ran to her house to play. Now the other two kids were just thrilled with whatever they got. It really didnt matter. I remember one xmas that the boys...the younger two...still talk about to this day. It was xmas 1997. So Cory was 11 and Jamie was 13. We had always told them we would never get them anything like a motorcycle or 4wheeler but that year we decided to get them a two seater gocart. It had a roll bar so it seemed safer. But it was a high dollar present so the rest of the presents would be meager. I got them a super nintendo to share, a few games, some clothes, their stockings...and that was it. The tree looked mighty meager and bare when they came out that morning. The go cart was hid in a neighbors barn. Jamie and Cory came out to see what Santa had brought them. They kept up such brave faces and tried not to let us see the disappointment on their faces at all. They knew I had been in an accident that previous spring so they just assumed we were short on money so they wouldnt say a word. They watched as their daddy started Christmas dinner and they started playing nintendo. It was a warm day so the door was open. Their dad left the house walking and they paid it no attention really. You could hear the other kids who got motorized vehicles for xmas all over. Suddenly one got closer and Jamie made the comment...sounds like someone close to us got a motorbike or something. Cory looked out the door and said...someone got a go cart. Then Cory yelled...someone got a go cart and they are letting DADDY drive it! Jamie jumped up and the kids both ran outside. Tony got off it and they were hollaring and begging to ride it and asking whose it was. When they were told it was theirs...they couldnt believe it. They still say that was the best xmas they ever had. [/QUOTE]
