This year, I've found I'm awful pensive. This is the first year I can't really do 90% of my shopping for the kids at the toy store. I mean, that is the one day I actually enjoy shopping for something other than books. We go into the toy store looking for just the right items for our kids, neices, nephews, friends kids, etc. and I usually have so much fun and go right to the areas which best fit each individual kids personalities. Here is where I get into my element, because in order to personalize each item, I must play with it to verify it will be something the child will want. Now, with all of the kids getting older, they just aren't interested in these things. They want MP3 players, CD's, and generally things I don't want to play with. It is also cutting severely into my cover. People, this must be corrected soon, otherwise I'll just be another weird old dude playing at Toys "R" Us.

Happy Flippin' Holidays...
I love the holidays, really I do. I just don't like the crowds, and the shopping, and the rudely annoying people, and the traffic and spending money and . Keep in mind, I love my family too, however, if someone really wanted to rent them I'd be game. The rest, well, that'd just be details right?
