Christmas Gifts for Kids

[BigBo]

My 8 year old grandson has a similar list to yours John.
I cut back on too many video games and got him an air hockey table. He loves playing. He challenges me anytime we go by an arcade. I'm going to have it all set up and ready to play for Christmas morning.

My son earned a nice computer, by working for a GPA we set as a goal, and keeping his nose clean this fall. (His twin sister failed miserably on the last point, earning herself a trip to Juvenile court as a minor in possession, after a recent party....so she's getting coal, community service, and a six month delay on her permit/license.) The computer was from QVC, which is nice as it is on 6 easy pays. 4 gig, all the software, blah blah blah. So he is pumped, and this has enough, I hope, to get him through college. They are high school sophomores now. And he has enough Xbox games already.
