the only thing that is missing is cole giving you an affiliate link so he would earn a percentage back on you buying him presents! (seriously, why did the internet not exist when i was a kid?!)
Love the lego selections – not showing those to my 21 y/o son – would add to his list. My 20 y/o daughter sends me her list via FB email and sends the links as well. Last year several links to Tiffany’s silver necklaces and Uggs! Yup – gets pricier as they get older.
And does anyone remember making their Christmas lists from the Sears Catalog? Serious fights over who would get it first when it came in the MAIL!
Funny! My family is doing the same, via e-mail and links. The latter is particularly handy, since I’m doing most of my shopping online this year.
Cathy, I have a favor to ask—really, of Cole. I need to shop for two 13-year-olds (Adopt-a-Child) and the only lists their parents provided included socks, jeans and underwear. Need some ideas for fun stuff. I haven’t looked at 13-year-old boys’ stuff in 30 years!! Can he help? If you could, have him (or you) answer me via my e-mail address: prairyk@fhrd.net
THANKS a BUNCH!
Yay for the technology of 21st century. So fun, Cathy!
When we get home for Christmas this year, I’m going to ask my mom to find the old lists my sister and I wrote to Santa and then will show them to my kids.
My 16YO provided his Christmas list to his dad and me (with directions to forward to “anyone else who might be interested” – aka grandparents, I think :P) on Google Docs! Modern days indeed.
My 9YO is typing his up on the computer in a Word doc.
My 6YO still wants to dictate and have me write on a piece of paper. Just like the old days… 😛
My son… your son… twins at birth I’m sure… Christmas list I was told the other day… Nerf gun (not going to happen)… HP Lego (finally found Hogwarts Express after hearing that the NZ lego store under-ordered HP Lego and it was basically all sold out)… anything Star Wars… done, Clone Wars book and some additional lego (new Star Wars lego that came with a book).
I like the sound of the Christmas Bakery lego… wonder if that’s in NZ?
My husband is getting the front row seats to Crowded House at a local winery that I managed to score.
Told my son he had to write a letter to “Santa”. He sent his in a PDF this year…also with web links. Glad to know there are others out there like him! Happy Holidays!
FYI- The Target Field book is a great price on Amazon! I just picked one up for my mom. I think it’s half the price they were selling it for at Target Field (go figure).
Debby says
Kinda makes me wonder what my kids will be using in about 10+ years…go figure. The modern age of technology 🙂
Jeanne Pellerin says
That’s great!

Barb says
Awesome! Now you can get your list, check it twice, and shop for it all on line while having somebody else do the wrapping.
susan says
Awesome! I see my future with my little one sending me something like this. And it would include LEGO’s too!
Kate says
hilarious! this kiddo is great!
Lee Currie says
See, THIS is what makes you brilliant! I didn’t even think to take a screen print 🙂 Great list …

Nancy M says
Cute! I love the links to items… my daughter does the same, or imports the picture so I know EXACTLY what it is her heart desires 🙂
Sherry G says
Susan, Yes I remember that we would spend days just looking at the Sears Wish Book and then we would circle the items we wished for…
Ruth says
Most of your son’s list is double-dutch to me! I suppose I have all this to look forward to, as my son is currently only three.
cathy says
HA! now THAT is funny!
cathy says
Yeah, whats up with the pricier requests? Ay yi yi!
cathy says
oh i LOVED the Sears Wish Book.
Myra says
Those Sears Wish books are online!!! Beware, if you click on this link, you’ll be sucked into a 70s time warp. http://www.wishbookweb.com
Loydene says
I, too, get DS’s Christmas list by e-mail! And — I must admit — the links are pretty handy!
annie says
I love it. And kinda miss those lists with legos on them.
Heather Tarrant says
I love how efficient he is! This is great!! And a link too, how helpful! Gotta love technology.

Tricia Shelton says
Too funny. Is it pitiful to admit that I am 41 and Hagrids Hut is also on my Christmas list? Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Myra says
I just bought a Legos Christmas bakery set, complete with pink Lego cupcakes! I’m 45 and still love Legos.
Megan says
you should SEE some of the screen shots I have of conversations with my kids. HI-larious.
Tricia Shelton says
You go girl.

cathy says

cathy says
GASP! Front row? I would die. Literally. Right in front of Neil.
(I had front row for their show in 2008. I was in heaven!)
julia spencer says
Love it! 🙂
northcarmen says
I sent my SIL my list via Facebook too — though in my defense, she initiated the request. 😉
Carmen.
Jenny Heaslip says
Boys the world over are the same. I live in Australia and my son is coveting the nerf gun as well. There’s only one difference – he is 18 years old!!!
Jane says
Oh Cathy I can SO relate. My 12 year old sits in the front lounge room on his laptop and emails me on my computer in the back study!!
Maegan says
That is PERFECT!
Cynthia B. says
I didn’t know that there was a Hunger Games board game! Thanks Cole (and Cathy).
Off to check it out for my 11yo son…
Brooke says
Got to love links in the list too!
dawn says
I love this Cathy, so sweet!!
