My kids are not with me and the three of them stays at their dad(who's by the way my ex-husband...who earns A LOT) My youngest son called one day and asked for a toy named "CRASH B-DAMAN".I am not familiar with that toy so I search the net and found out how the toy looks like..it's kinda boring for me but what the heck it's not me who's going to play with it.So I checked at Toy Kingdom how much the toy is..it's affordable actually.So I asked him what he wants for his birthday he answered that he wants that crash b-daman toy..okay so on his birthday I'll buy it for him.I asked him again what toy he wants for christmas...he answered me a gameboy..OMG.I don't have that much money to get him a gameboy.I pay the rent and bills and I work my butt out as a callcenter agent to earn big bucks but I don't think giving him a gameboy is not good..aside from it's expensive..it might affect his studies and I will be blamed by his dad if his grade will go down.So I asked him to think of 3 gifts he wants to receive for Christmas and I will just pick one. :c so he agreed..he is having a hard time thinking and told me that he will talk to me again once he's decided what to get on christmas so he passed the phone to my eldest and only daughter.I asked her the same. My eldest answered me right away that she wants a year subscription of "TOTAL GIRL" magazine or another pair of slim havaianas slippers or different colors of nail polish from ELIANTO or FACE SHOP.My eldest daughter is already 12 years old.So I now have choices for my eldest. My second boy didn't answer me instead he asked me what I want for Christmas..I answered him a paperback by Sydney Sheldon.I asked him again the same question I asked from his siblings..he just answered me.."anything will do..even if it's not expensive..it's fine" my 2nd son is not hard to please.He is my simplest son. Last year I bought my two boys an expensive remote control car each and they love it so much.For my eldest a scrapbook bec. I know she kept pictures of her friends and crushes.I remembered my 2nd child told me that he already has a lot of remote control cars and he wanted to have something that flies..like a remote control plane. Now I am having a problem with my two boys what to give them for Christmas.I want them to be close to each other that's why everytime I give them gifts..they both have the same toy..so that they can have bonding together.My 2nd child doesn't want the toy his younger brother wants and the 2nd child wants to have a remote control plane which I think my youngest who is already 8 years old would love to have a remote control plane BUT he has no sense of responsibility yet.. Are you thinking of what gifts to give this christmas?.

I know my childrens father will give them an expensive gifts but as for me...whatever money I have I will try my best to give them what they want because Christmas happens once a year only.I hope I could divide my bonus to all my friends and relatives...the prices are sky rocketing and I also need some money to save for rainy days..Money is so hard to earn this days.

Hi my friend.How's life treating you now...now that your husband is here? [b][i]Good for you that you can leave the country to get away with people who expect gifts from you.;p just kidding.At least you have extra money to use for having a vacation somewhere else.I wish I could do that too but sad to say I can't.I am actually thinking right now what to give for christmas though I know that people around the world are having crisis and we really need to save.But my priorities are my kids with regard to buying gifts. Enjoy your time with your hubby.Have a nice day my friend.[/i][/b]

I haven't even begun to think about what to get anyone for Christmas this year. This Christmas is going to be a difficult one for our family no matter how good it is in other ways because my daughter's husband was recently killed. It will be hard thinking about buying presents and not buying something for him, and then getting together with all the family and him not being there with the rest of us. So I have been trying to not think about Christmas yet.
