Thursday Thirteen #5: Things You Won’t Find Under The Tree

Thursdaythirteenmistletoe

I don’t know if it’s me – okay, I’m fibbing – but, my kids have taken on an attitude, this year.

I know – just act surprised, m’kay.

Not the typical surly sort of suckage you’d expect from a child – shuddup! – but, they don’t seem to be asking for much, lately and this is the first year that the kids have NOT made a list for Santa!

I don’t know, if it’ll snow, let’s just have a cup of, "Are you kidding me!?!"

Of course, I’m happy – they’re actually seem to be happy with…um…whatever they get and I think I’ll buy them ALL a pony, damnit – but, I can’t help but feel a little bit surprised, as well.

Like, what do they REALLY want and are they going to like what Santa’s brought them?

I don’t know – since, I have NOT even started shopping, my own self, yet – but, I can tell you this:

Thirteen things you will NOT find under our tree on Christmas Eve:

1.  Wii game system:  WHO KNEW, kids would want it for Christmas?  Stupid Nintendo!

2.  PSP, or Playstation 3 for that matter:  Because, we GOT to eat.

3.  Hannah Montana concert tickets:  Unless, YOU want to send us some – I would liked to have seen Montana!

4.  Bratz – big eyes, big lips, these girls ARE scary looking:  The spokesdolls for Botox, I swear.

5.  Most anything on Oprah’s Favorite Things:  Cheese and rice, would it kill her to like something, say, under $25?!?!

6.  Loud toys:  Not if you EVER want to see your grandchildren, again!

7.  Victoria Secret:  Secret’s out, granny underwear IS in!

8.  Candy, chocolate coins and cookies for Santa:  Because, Doofus ate AND either pooped, or threw it ALL up, ALREADY!

9.  Gingerbread house:  See note above.   

10. Puke or poop:  Ditto.

11. Kids, sleeping:  Hahahahahahaha – as wired as they are, right now and you ARE kidding me, right – why bother going to bed, at all?

12. Mommy kissing Santa Claus:  No one can hold a candle to Garth (not his real name) besides,  I’ll be too busy…wrapping!

13. Any of you, my dearest blogging friends:  Not after reading this list, or at least numbers 8-10, anyway.

Only 12 more sleeps ’til Christmas – Holy Hannah Montana, seriously – if anyone needs me, I’ll be upstairs in the closet, buried knee deep with laundry and looking for my Christmas mojo!

    * chuckle * I kinda like to go through the newspaper inserts to see what junk is being sold at any given time. One gift I will not be buying anyone is the plastic reindeer that poops candy. Go figure!
    I have two TT13s this week:
    Better decluttering through TT13

    Ooo dear me. I am much more fortunate that you as I don’t even start thinking about Christmas until after the third family birthday. So I’ll start panicking on the 16th.
    Cheers

    I loves me some comfy six packs of cotton granny panties! (And beer, too, while yer at it.)
    Our dryer is BROKEN of all #@%#! things. Ugh. I’ll be hauling tons of wet laundry to the laundromat tomorrow. I still have SEVERAL presents to buy. Trying not to panic.
    Cheers! Or Tide! Or something like that. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    That was SO FUNNY.
    You’re so lucky that the kids aren’t carried away by consumer-itis. I was just saying to my husband that I think the moment is coming—next year?—when everyone in America will get fed up with the compulsory Christmas gift-giving at the same time, and go back to exchanging cards, cookies, and good wishes. I have my fingers crossed.
    I notice that even Barbie has been altered to look like the Bratz dolls. Weird.

    Yours is not the only home where those won’t be under the tree! Come to think of it, I don’t even know what half of those are.
