What items are your kids bugging you for the most? What are you bugging other people for this holiday season? Might be interesting to hear what is hot around the world. Over here it is Beyblades from what I can tell.

Apparently from all the spam I have been getting, it must be those tiny remote control cars!!

My son is too young to ask for anything but seems Thomas the Tank engine and all the accessories - which can get ridiculous

My living room and the nursery look like toy stores - I'm afraid to go to the grandparents on Xmas - after last year we needed a new house :o

You have to be a little creative when getting gifts for your kids from the grandparents: My brother claims his 3 month old daughter wants a new wide screen TV for Christmas. :groucho:

The nice thing about getting presents for your kids from the GrandParents, is YOU can pick and choose which ones you will take home, and which ones you will 'leave at grammas house, so you have something to play with there' ;-)

IE: Drum sets, loud obnoxious noise makers, ect... ;-)

As Granny always says, Cash is one gift that fits everyone, not matter what size they are.

This is the woman who still tries to buy me Medium size sweaters for Channukah! :P :D

Yup, the BBC (who co-produced Band of Brothers) just got done reshowing the whole thing. It was just as great the second time. One thing I did notice the second time was the numbe of British actors playing the American soldiers..they did an excellent job with the accents. Not to mention I started notcing the American actors and realising they were kid actors (and a New Kid On the Block) when I was growing up. They all did amazing jobs.

Some seriously good drama around over the last couple years.
