crimbo is near

Not sure what we're gonna do yet for crimbo(I like that term) we call it crizzy in our house. Our son just turned 3 yesterday and got his very own, red, squire, mini-strat with a Jimi Hendrix strap! He loves it and it fits him perfectly. A few months ago we were watching music videos on VH1Classic( no cartoons in our house!?!?) and a  recent live Who video came on w/ Pete playing a red strat. My son went nuts and asked over and over again if  I'd take some of my tip jar money and buy it for him.(haha) How could I refuse?............

I have 3 boys and they all want a PSP each... So that's probably the main thing on the list. Three of those and few games are going to set me back around $800! I went the musical route last year and got each of them a guitar (1 electric and 2 acoustics) and a years worth of free lessons from dear old dad They also got a drum set and keyboard last year so music's been covered. I guess I'll let them indulge in the games this year...Maybe it'll free up the PS3 for me to play on more often

Me and the wife don't usually do anything for ourselves on Christmas. We put it all to the kids and family and then when tax checks come out we indulge ourselves.

PSP (Playstation Portable) PS3 is the Playstation 3. (Gaming consoles) They get it from me...lol I'm a long time hardcore gamer myself.

Thanks Guitarpix, I was thinkin' the PSP was a relative of the Paul Reed Smith or somethin' of the sort. My gaming days ended in the arcades(a LONG time ago???!!!I'm so old.....) with Donkey Kong, Air Hockey, Space Invaders,  and Ms. Pac Man............

Alan, you are just like me by the looks of it. If my boy came on here I would be saying all the things that make me cringe so he could read it and then maybe something might click and I would never cringe again.
But thankfully he doesnt come on here or I would not have told everyone what he is getting.

World peace and maybe some natural guitar ability.....

Failing that I'd settle for an effects pedel..

My 7 year old grandson wants a I-pod for Crimus. I really do not want him to damage his hearing and so far have been able to avoid getting him one. His love for "skaterboy" rock will do to him what 24 years standing in front of a 100 watt Fender Twin Reverb did to me.
We got him a 24 foot long skateboard ramp (halfpipe) as his only Crimus present. He can bust his butt instead of his eardrums.

Old Doll.. i laughed so much at the Nike Air line.. lmao!!  haahaa...

This year, gosh, i don't know what we're gonna do!!  Our kids are now 16, 13 & 7.  Money is very very tight, so it's gonna be a stretch to come up with around £100 each for them.  There will be no gifts for brothers/parents/nieces/nephews from us this year.    BUT, we'll be together, our family all congregate at Christmastime, probably the only one time in the year we do all get together at the the same place, at the same time!  The children wont go without, they get plenty from other family members, and this year Xmas is gonna be stretched out over 3 days. 25th here at home, 26th with hubby's family, & 27th we'll go over & see my mum and my brothers and their families will be there too.

Now, here's something i wish for, but i doubt i'll get. My brother owns a Mexican Strat, which he bought a few years ago. He got sacked by his teacher for not practising enough, hehe.  He can only play G & D chords. So, i've kinda hinted a few times, that that guitar deserves to be played, properly!  Not left in a box under his bed!

Who thinks i'll get a long oblong box for Christmas..?  LOL.. me.. i very much doubt it...
