Christmas Lists

     Annie came today and sat on my lap and started listing off all the things she wanted for Christmas.  Okay, I know she knows the big secret and has for years, and yeah, maybe I've gained a bit of weight lately and yes, I'm wearing red today...but when did I become the same as an old, fat man who flies in a sleigh and gives presents to every child in the world on one night?
     Anywho...I asked the kids to write up their lists for me just for kicks.  Without further ado, here they are (donations are accepted at any time, hint hint):

Chase

- Play station 3
- To win a basketball game (they've lost both so far)
- See specific PG13 movies that we won't let him see
- To dye his hair blue (thank you Annie)
- X Box 1
- To celebrate Chanuka (he found out from Annie that you get 8 days of presents)
- For the Jazz to win a game
- Play station 4
- To go to a Jazz game
- To perform in community circle at school
- X box 360
- To get a lot of money (wouldn't we all?)
- To go to the movies
- Big Hero 6
- The whole Diary of a Wimpy Kid series books
- And the 'best of all' a Bike

Annie

- Remote control helicopter
- Olaf the snowman (but she doesn't want him to be cold)
- A good immune system
- Joy, happiness and peace (good choices)

- A real pony
- A wand
- A silver jingle bell
- Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch and the Hemsworth brothers to be...basically slaves to her (butlering, gardening, making sandwiches for her, doing her homework...and I think there was something in there about being shirtless or dripping wet)

- To fly
- A cat, a dog and a snake
