http://deadspin.com/my-kids-insane-christmas-wish-list-annotated-1476311653 This made me laugh a lot. May Kwampus get them.

Whoa. The sad thing is this list is a lot like the type my 62-year-old brother would write!

And I'm freaking because my son decided to tell us after Black Friday he wants the X-Box One bundle for $700. That's all he wants. So we'll spot him $300 towards it. He can pay the rest from his job. But the problem is finding one of those bundles before Easter. But that list is cute.

Oh yeah.... sound so familiar. I'm lucky now my boy is getting older, all he's asking for is the latest (age appropriate) consol games. Only he wants them for the Wii AND 3DS!! if it's Mario or Pokemon, he's happy. I've already put my foot down to the 2DS and WiiU consoles themselves since he's only has his existing units for 5 minutes, and I'm still scratching my head as to what to do with his now practically obsolete PS2 and gameboy!

I'll trade you! My son wants a $1400 Alienware system. I told him I'd give him cash instead of presents for whatever the Christmas budget turns out to be, but he'd have to save up the rest, around getting a passport and paying for a trip to Northern Tier this summer. He seems to think he can do it. (Of course most of the trip will be paid for by money he's earned from the troop's fundraisers.)

What is Alienware?

My dog is asking for what she always asks for. "A cow." I can remember sitting there with the Sears catalog giddily circling things ...

It's a computer brand (like HP or Dell,etc).

It's a brand of computers (owned by Dell, I believe) that is specifically for gaming. I don't think he realizes that after he spends all his money on the system, he won't be able to afford the games.

Ame- that's why he wants the bundle, since it comes with a game and extra control, since it might be the last game he get for a while for it. K2- You know your kid has become an adult when they want underwear for X-Mas.
