Clover's response? "I want a PINK birthday present!" I guess we will forego the red and green Christmas paper and pull out some nice pink paper with birthday cakes on it to wrap her presents...

What You REALLY Want To Hear
I was trying to put together Christmas lists for the kids, and after writing down the few ideas I had thought of throughout the year, I asked them what they wanted. Simon's response was priceless, and very wise beyond his years. He said, "Nothing. I don't want anything--I have everything I need." In our materialistic culture, I am so glad that he is able to find contentment with what he already has. A lesson for all of us.

Wonderful!
First Son occasionally asks for things he sees in Veggie catalogs. I think it helps a lot to avoid these (all catalogs) as much as possible. We also avoid television commercials. I was horrified to see all the commercials on Nick Jr while we were at the dentist's office yesterday!
Have you seen this?

That is very nice and kind of Simon, so this year he will have nothing from us...je,je,je.
