What do your kids want for Christmas?

[FooserX]

Here's what we have for our 4 year old son already:

Crossbows and Catapults game
Battleship
Some superhero figures
AT-ST from Star Wars
Lego Star Wars space ship
Some Transformers

I REALLY want to get my son this:

The Balrog from Lord of the Rings. I just think he would go crazy if he opened up a toy that is so big and cool. He really enjoys Lord of the Rings now, and since they don't have these toys anymore in stores, it would be a huge surprise. Wifey put the kabosh on it though. :-( I'm not sure if it's because it cost $100, or because it looks demonic...but we sure love the Balrog scene in the movie!

Wives stink!

So what is everyone else getting for their kids?

Hannah hasn't asked for any toys! She has asked for a couple of stuffed animals, but mainly she wants art stuff and games.

We are getting her a lot of art stuff and a big art table for her playroom, and some games, and some moon sand, and probably a few other little things.

Have you guys seen this moon sand stuff? It is REALLY cool.

Hey Fooser, do you ever wonder if maybe watching a movie I consider to be violent for a 4yo and the list of "war/fighting" toys might be the reason your boy acts out violently? Just an outside observation and comment no harm ment.

Nichole wants everything lol, she's 2.
We are getting her a cabbage patch doll, my parents are getting her an art easle/ table with a chair and bins to put all your stuff, and a pots and pans set, my sister got her a shopping cart with food. We also want to her the step 2 kitchen (made in America), but with all her medical right now we are not 100% sure we will be able to aford it, but we wil lget it soon.

I think LOTR is the greatest movie ever! but I also love the books, it's a classic!!

Well, my 8 year old wants a high school musical mp3 player and heely's, which I already have. My 5 year old wants littlest pet shop and a leappad writer, which I have. My 2 year old says all she wants is a dora bike. I guess she will get that too. My 15 month old is a little harder. She will be in a spica cast (body cast) for 4 months starting December 5th, so I need to find things she can sit and do. So far I got her the vsmile baby. That is just their big gifts. They get several little one's too.

The lord of the rings is a great story, with the classic battle between good and evil. There isn't any excessive gore or violence, I don't see the problem with a child of any age watching it. Action figures and super heroes aren't about violence and agression, they are about having a superhero to look up to, and having a role model. The way our world works sometimes requires force to get things done, and there really isn't anything wrong with a kid finding that out early.

I agree, as long as it is not bloody. And while there are a few intense parts in the movie that might be frightening to some hcildren, the majority of the movie is very mild.


ljmahr---not be OT but why is your baby going to be in a body cast? You of course do not have to answer if you don't want. Just curious

lol...no, I don't think that is the reason. I think the reason is that hitting and physical behavior goes on in day care...and that is where he learns it. Even when I tell him it's not okay to hit, his response is "Well everyone at my school does it!!"

well if eveyone jumped off a cliff..... sorry
