My son was playing his DS with his friends when I overheard him say, "I am getting this for Christmas!"
ReplyDeleteI said, "You are? How do you know?"
"I asked Santa!"
"No, you didn't!"
"But, he knows."
I had to make a phone call to Santa, aka, my sister this morning. Haha! :)
Nothing changes except the nature of the toys. They were much simpler when I was young.
ReplyDeletewow. I'm surprised at the list - Clothes as the first? huh.
ReplyDeleteCrazy, most of those things are my my girls lists. Yah, like that's going to happen LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
Household? That is a good one. My daughter could have written this list.
ReplyDeleteWii would def be on my list too...lol
ReplyDeleteClothes? Only girls would want clothes. Any boy who gets clothes as a present regards it as a particularly dirty trick!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm very surprise that clothes is number 1.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
I don't see bass amplifier on this list. Does that mean I'm not in the top ten? Again?
ReplyDeleteGood list. I enjoyed reading it!
ReplyDeleteMy TT Forbidden Fruit is up.
Like others, I'm surprised that clothes is #1! Happy TT!

No Pony?
ReplyDeleteNice list. I put a DS on my list too.
ReplyDeleteI bought a couple of those items for my kids. Thank goodness my shopping is almost done.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT.
Interesting list. I wouldn't have thought clothes would top the list, though.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are at the age now when all they want is money so they can go out and buy what they want.
Happy TT!
The household might mean, a family? maybe a boy or girl from a broken home or an orphan wrote it?
ReplyDeleteWe
ReplyDeletehave a few of those items on our Christmas list as well!
Happy TT!
The Wii is on mine, DS is on my son's. Neither of them will be received.
ReplyDeleteI've bought a few of those things for Christmas gifts this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
My husband wants a puppy, but it's not going to happen. My sons want cell phones and that will. Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteAre those in order? Clothes being first surprised my.
ReplyDeleteWonder if household means things for their room - pictures, photo frames, pillows, rugs, desk, etc.
My 7 year old asked for a cell phone this year. No way in the world it's going to happen.
ReplyDeleteThis is fun! Mine is Christmas-list related too.
ReplyDeleteAlready got #3!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Wouldn't doll fall under toys? And count me among those surprised that clothes is #1.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, happy TT!
Dear Commenters -- I've included the ChristmasGifts.net. If you don't like the categories (whether or not a doll is a toy) or don't believe that clothes came in at #1, please address all questions to them. Honest, I didn't get 4500 letters to Santa and I didn't compile the list myself.
ReplyDeleteI guess that the language here reflects what the little boys and girls wrote in their letters to Jolly Old Nick, and they were probably too excited by the prospect of Christmas to get bogged down in the details.
