So I've noticed these last few years: once you reach a certain age, people stop getting you toys for Christmas. :(

 

Of course there are many, many other things out there - useful things, practical things, amusing things, that are not toys. Cash and gift cards are among the very useful items, as they may procure toys. But it's not HALF as fun as opening up a toy.

 

Srsly, I miss rippng open the wrapping paper and seeing a toy I can actually play with! (My parents and aunts and uncles all sit at the table and talk for HOURS, what am I supposed to do while they're reminiscing!?)

 

So I would like to retract every other item I wished for this year - and remind certain peoples that getting an almost-20-year-old a TOY for Christmas is not unwelcome, because it can be so awesome.

 

- I want a Skrall, and Gresh - no, I'll make this easy; ANY Lego set would do!

- a Transformer!

- A board game

- or an I Spy or puzzle book

 

 

pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!! :begging:

Too easy.

 

Adult you are, politely pardon yourself from the table, then proceed to the nearest television with a game system attached.

 

Do not hold back on the volume.

 

Don't knock it, it works.

I like how my relatives always give me gift certificates for bookstores. And how I always give them gift certificates for bookstores. And then we open up our presents together and hey! We all get gift cards! Often to the same bookstores! Often in the same denominations! And then we wonder why we even bothered!

 

I have to admit that it's a pretty awesome tradition.
