That is cross-culturally not fair. <BR/><BR/>I so wish I could get away with oranges and chocolates - it looks like Santa is going to break a 10 year moratorium and bring a video game system.

She'll finally receive her boot today. <BR/>I'm also the mom who wrote a few tooth fairy notes that said "unfortunately, I was delayed..." ;)africakidandtheworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664490603920452905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36505236.post-36597340030317970842007-12-08T01:23:00.000-05:002007-12-08T01:23:00.000-05:00I sure can relate to that last minute rush to get ...I sure can relate to that last minute rush to get certain presents. Sometimes it's that way even when you think you've given yourself enough lead time. Remember those talking Elmo's? Oh wait, you were probably in h.s. then! LOL Good thing you're a natural storyteller. (Cousin Santa Claus...Love it!) Best of luck with your talking parrot search!<BR/><BR/>ednaecmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12709772808838891790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36505236.post-71640900111898098292007-12-07T11:14:00.000-05:002007-12-07T11:14:00.000-05:00I used to work at a "pirate" themed summer camp wh...I used to work at a "pirate" themed summer camp where we had a toy talking parrot.<BR/><BR/>I sorta hope Santa Claus doesn't come through - for your sake.<BR/><BR/>May I add how SURPRISED I am to hear you are a last minute shopper. You seem like the type who would have it all together in July! :)Julie_chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577809494501741588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36505236.post-81263306923235942852007-12-07T08:56:00.000-05:002007-12-07T08:56:00.000-05:00I stood in line behind someone buying that talking...I stood in line behind someone buying that talking parrot just last week. Hmmm. The funny thing was that no one could turn it off, and it just kept talking -- even after it had been wrapped! Good luck hiding that one . . .<BR/><BR/>Why is it that Germany and Italy have this holiday on the 6th, while the Netherlands has it on the 5th? Are we just that out of it, that we get the date wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36505236.post-24762700857928319782007-12-07T02:34:00.000-05:002007-12-07T02:34:00.000-05:00I just don't get it.

Oh... now,I get it. <BR/>Good luck with the parrot, at least it's not a shiny pink laptop. And to think all I want for Christmas is the elusive Wii. The real kicker is that I have no one to blame either that I didn't stay awake all night and stand in line to get it. OK, here's the deal. You get me a Wii, Santa, and I'll find you a talking parrot ;0 Can't wait to see the picture.rilla jaggiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259015787424108654noreply@blogger.com
