you’d see me admitting that video games might be the way to go this Christmas?

Obviously, toys are out of the question. They contain lead, or little magnets, or the date-rape drug! (I had been thinking of picking up one or 2 of those kits, for certain cousins on my list. Not anymore!)

I can buy books for the children on my list–but not The Golden Compass series. I won’t put money in that author’s pocket.

Maybe it’s time to go back to the “Little House on the Prairie” tradition of oranges and walnuts in the stockings.

I’m just thankful that I only have one child in the “toy-wanting” age group, though there are plenty of cousins that young as well.

Thanks to Milehimama for the links.
