Actual phone conversation:
Her: “I seriously need to finish the crafting and shopping today.”
Him: “Why? Christmas isn’t until Wednesday.”
Her: <- stunned silence ->
Her: “Christmas is Tuesday.”
Him: “No, it’s not. Stop messing with me…”
Him: <- several different voices audibly shout, "Tuesday" in the background ->
Him: I seriously need to start my shopping today.”

For Christmas I would like a Friends Lego House, a Magna Color Dots 3-D thingamabob, art canvases and paints and lots and lots of DUCKTAPE!!!
That is all that I wish for this Christmas. As usual I would like for the rest to be surprises. I would like to ask for my family members too.
For Noah, a new pair of tennis shoes.
For Evan, a Lego Melinian Falcon and a couple pairs of underwear.
For Tommy, a few video games for his computer and LOTS of deodorant.
For Sarah, art canvases and easels.
For Mommy, Doctor Who stuff and funny adult jokes about bad funny things.
For Daddy, finger puppets, computer stuff and cream eggs.
From,
your friend
Amy

For an assortment of reasons, we will no longer be doing a Christmas card picture. The pictures, and the photo session attached to each and every one, are priceless memories to me. Thank you for allowing me to share those moments in time.

Dear relatives who have finished all of your Christmas shopping except for my children,
I will send you the requested list of ideas. Making that list requires that I first plan our shopping list. Before I can sit down and plan all that shopping, I have to plan our Christmas Card picture. Deciding that picture has to happen before Thanksgiving, when the picture will be taken. That means that I will compose my master list and your micro lists in less than two weeks. You will still be able to have ALL your shopping completed by Thanksgiving. Remain calm. I will BEGIN my shopping, after the card picture is completed.
In the meantime, a review of past card picture triumphs and failures:

In no particular order, I wish:
KA could see in the mirror the beauty that everyone sees when they look at her.
MW would get the job of her dreams.
TS could be with her two and four legged loved ones together under one roof.
P and her family to have a happy, healthy new year.
KG could have a moment of sheer, unadulterated bliss.
BP would get recognized for her ability to tell the stories of the living and the formerly living.
EV could find a cure.
DM would finish the playhouse.
Okay, maybe that last one was a little bit selfish.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, “a sister who loves me.”
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, “two Germend Sheperds.”
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, “three loving brothers.”
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, “Evan who is 4.”
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, “five pets to feed.”
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, “six teddy bears.”
On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, “me who is 7 years old.”
“I only did seven ’cause I’m just seven.”

Amy spent the entire morning drawing pictures and writing love notes to the shelf elf. “He’s going to take them all back to the North Pole tonight.” I suggested that the elf had plenty and perhaps she should do art for other people. “I’m going to make enough pictures for the shelf elf to take back and give ALL the elves!”
