Don't feel bad Monz, your boy will be delighted if he gets what he asked for. What are you doing on the day? If it's just the two of you, you could do a special breakfast or Xmas activity? Start a new tradition? It's the things like that, that kids remember more rather than the gifts they get.
I have two amazing Christmas memories - one was getting a typewriter that I'd asked the big man for and he'd typed me a letter on it! Second was when it was snowing and my sister climbed a tree in our garden. My dad and I got spades and threw snow at her - there was nowhere for her to go so she had to just take it! haha
Nothing big or over the top - just amazing, special memories.Sealed Pot Challenge 075

Morning. Had a nice quiet weekend. My son got his heelys on the rules that until I see him being able to use them right in our street (no roads) then he can use them else where. I do not like them!!!

My son has been asking for Heelys too, but he's just going to be 6 this month and i think he's a bit young yet. Maybe I'm being a total grinch but he walks into stuff and falls over without any encouragement from wheels on his shoes! hahaSealed Pot Challenge 075
