[QUOTE="Andy, post: 219092, member: 5096"] It's not bad. It's the truth we face as we grow up and take on responsibilities. The magic of Christmas is much different as a child. I do miss those days when Christmas was all about Santa and the gifts under the tree. For some reason for me the Santa gifts were the highlight. So, I make sure that Santa is the one that brings the best ones for the kids. I remember one year when easy child was a toddler and wanted a certain doll. I told mother in law not to get it for her because I believed it should come from Santa. mother in law was a very selfish old lady and wanted to be able to tell easy child that she was the one to give her the gift of her heart. mother in law pouted about that for a long time! Oh well, go ahead and whine, I am making Christmas special for my little girl. I want her to give Santa the credit. I don't like giving a list of ideas to certain people. My mother in law and sister in law will combine forces and fill my entire list. That is not fun. I don't want to know what I get for Christmas. So, I have learned to be careful of what I ask for. I think sister in law has figured me out. I hope so since I did give her a little longer list this year and there are no longer in-laws for her to join forces with. [/QUOTE]
