A request

I know many of you will be buying gifts for the children. I also know that we will not be here for Christmas. We will be leaving around the 20th to visit a friend in Oklahoma through Christmas, and will not be back until close to the new year. So - my request is to send stuff to his house please!

If you order off our Amazon.com wish lists, use the address provided there. (tip: you can sort the list by priority instead of "date added") If you do not order from Amazon, please email me and ask for the address to send it to. Or check the email I sent out with the update notification for this blog. All 4 of us have Amazon wish lists, even Balen, so you can check there for ideas. Thank you in advance for any gifts you might send. Thanks for being family and friends.

Make sure you have a Merry Christmas. Despite the corporate/marketing whitewashing of the season, do remember that over 80% of the country celebrates the Christian Christmas Holiday, no matter what the industry would have you believe (the use of "Holiday" everywhere instead of Christmas).

Following shortly is a couple of videos of the kids enjoying their early Christmas gifts in their own way.

Here are the videos.
