Toys R Us Christmas Book......its fun watching the kids!!

Watching and listening to two out of my three kids at the kitchen table yell with excitement, drool over pictures, and having the belief that anything is possible and they are going to get everything in the Toys R Us Christmas Book.......is fun. That's right, the BOOK came last night in the local Barrie Paper. After their fits of circling everything they desire, and believe me, lots was circled!! It is then that I go over it all, talking to them about what they really want or really need.

We look to see if its too young, or too old for them, and the price. Kids need to know about prices and how realistic it is to have these dreams of owning everything they see. I do believe that kids have way too much in today's society.  They can loose sight of the TRUE meaning of Christmas. I try to talk to them as little adults, sometimes they understand, other times they REALLY need that Tangled Barbi or that Transformer. After chatting, they usually re-think half of their wishes. And I always say..."well, perhaps if Santa thinks YOU were REALLY REALLY GOOD...you never know. But he has A LOT of kids to look after!" When the BOOK has been recycled, they USUALLY forget about half of everything they have just seen.....BUT its FUN watching them. All the HOPE is in their eyes. ANYTHING is possible....



"I don't have this...so I want it" Katie explains quite simply, as its the truth and that she REALLY needs it to survive...

 Anything is possible because late last night, after they were all sound asleep, dreaming of toys, the treats we will make, and what will happen at Christmas, I made an order..online for a few discounts...and more or less hassle free for me...it will be delivered in a few days, hopefully when they are at school and they will be none the wiser!
