My son is really excited about christmas for a different reason!!

How sweet, and absolutely I would play along...What would you say, "sorry son, I already have lots of tool boxes so that isn't a great idea..Now let me tell you what I really want."...LOL..you better not even think about it Muscare....LOL How precious of a child is he...I am sure his heart is just racing at the thought of doing this for his daddy.. Play along...He will remember this Christmas for along time..

Whoa! Your son is so sweet! Now that's what Christmas is all about! It's great that your kid is not like other children who keeps on asking for gifts. You should be proud! Your son is an unselfish kid. A new toolbox sounds nice too hehe. I think you just need to play along. It's his idea and let's see what will happen. Maybe he has some other plans for Christmas. Remember he got so excited with his Idea and it'll break his heart if it didn't come true. I also suggest you give something nice to your son. Advance Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope it'll all goes well.

That is so sweet of your son:) And he's just 4 and thinking of his dad:) Maybe your wife can ask him to make a list of things that he thinks daddy might like as a gift and ask daddy to choose what he likes best or maybe they can brainstorm together to think up the perfect gift for daddy.

Awwww, how adorable..Thats just so sweet..Of course you would have to go along with it, he would be shattered otherwise...

Wow... that is so sweet of your son... he already knows the value of giving at a very young age...meaing he is a giver rather than a taker... you and your wife must be doing a very good job raising him... i hope all parents are like that... Just keep on doing what you are doing and i can see that when your son grows up... he will be an asset to society... those kind of things show at a very young age...

You can certainly be so proud of that boy of yours, who thinks of you at Christmas rather than what he will get from his parents. Sure, you can keep his spirits and enthusiasm up by playing along, but you will end up with a gift you probably won't use. But I would suggest another approach you can use. Think of something else that you can certainly do with that's inexpensive, say a new spade for gardening (or whatever you really need). Get your wife to whisper to your son what you will really need. Don't say to him that you do not need a toolbox, or that he will waste his time or money buying a toolbox. She can say something like "I think your daddy really needs a spade (or whatever), because he has been asking me to buy him one recently... How about you getting him a spade? I know he will be very excited to receive one from you". If your son hears that, he might turn his excitement to that spade as an alternate gift for you rather than the toolbox. After all, in his mind, anything that you will appreciate may be good enough for him to think about giving. Then ask your wife to buy the gift and let him giftwrap it, and keep it a secret until Christmas to surprise you. You think that will work, and keep him happy and excited?

you have a very sweet son. just proves that you did not raise him to be unselfish. in this very selfish world, i say that your son is making a difference. how i wish that most people are like him - more giving. i suggest that you will just be happy about that situation that you are in. you really are blessed muscare! anne

aaaaahhh so sweet........ just give him lotts of huggs and kisses....... and make him happpy.....

LOL omg thats too adorable! And yes I would definately play along... Thats great that he's excited about someone elses gift and that he's proud (as he should be, he definately thought about things daddy needs/would like etc ya know)...Too cute!!

Not only would I play along I would treasure that toolbox for the rest of my life. Your son obviously has seen you use a toolbox before and thinks that it is something that you really enjoy. He loves his daddy and wants to share that love with you. I believe that the true meaning of Christmas is about a Father and His Son and the most treasured gift imaginable. This story is a reflection of that love.

It's great that he is excited about sharing instead of just about what he will get. It's great that he gets more joy out of what he can give to those he loves. I think if I had 20 toolboxes I'd still love to get this one...simply b/c of who it's from. "COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS" **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

awwwe thats so sweet and i would just let him give you that tool box,it's not gonna hurt you to have another one,matter of fact it will come in handy one day i am sure.but the point is this will put the biggest smile on your sons face and thats just priceless itself.even if you don't use the tools you can replace the look on your sons face and how happy he is gonna be to give that to you.he is just so sweet and caring.

Aww that is really adorable!! I just love the thought process of children! Yes you should play along! Hes too excited about it, could you really not? hehe A few months ago my friends 5yr old turned 6 and heard us talking about giving people things that we just didnt use or need anymore. So when he got a new bike he did just that. There was a little boy in their neighborhood that didnt have one. So her son came in all proud of himself one day and told her that so and so wouldnt have to chase the rest of them around on foot anymore, he gave him his old bike. LOL You cant deny a kid when they feel so proud of themselves. Bay Lay Gray xx

Wow, thats sweet!!! haaay... I would look forward to the day when my son learns to talk already! You have a very sweet and thoughtful son! You are blessed! Congratulations!

oh your boy is so sweet.one more toolbox would not hurt you and please do not hurt his sentiments.

That is so cute! Did you get the toolbox?

Get the tool box, it is worth it to see the smile on his precious little face when you open the present. My daughter does the same thing. She is daddy's little girl. When my hubby has to go off to work and his already running late, he would still stay to make her happy. One time my daughter was drawing a picture of a circle family for us. She already showed my hubby the drawing. When she finish color the flowers on that same drawing, she ran to show her daddy. He was running out the door cause he was late. But he stop came back in. Picked her up and looked at the picture like it was a masterpiece and gave her big kisses and praised her. Then she asked him to put it up for her on the fridge, he did that too. Yes, he was very late for work. His boss did chew him out, but he said that moment in time he would not have traded it for the world. Good luck!
