It’s everyone’s favorite time of year! (Smell the sarcasm?) You know, that time of year when Wally World & other such stores are packed to the gills with parents, grandparents, and anyone else who has a list of Christmas gifts to buy that is reaching about 3 miles long and several thousand dollars? Yeah, that time of year. A friend of mine’s kids have already made out their lists, and the one girl was told she had to redo her list because everything on it was deemed too expensive. She’s about 11 or 12 years old. Sorry people, you’re going to have to start buying expensive gifts because a $10 Barbie doll won’t cut it anymore.

I never can understand why it is that people say they want their kids to give them a wish list for Christmas and then say “no, you can’t have that stuff make a different one.” Hello? It’s a WISH list! They WISH they would get that stuff for Christmas. You don’t have to go fully by the list, but if there’s a couple of things that are less expensive, then get them. Or look for deals. Kids want ipods? There’s lots of places to find them online for cheap! They already have ipods? Get them iTunes gift cards for crying out loud. There are tons of ways to get around the expensive wish lists, but you don’t have to go so far as to make them redo them.
