The Ultimate Great Gift Idea

Do yourself a favor...
write this down...
burn it into your memory...
trust me this advice is a keeper!
(trent asleep in his dishwasher box)
Next year for Christmas DON'T leave after the kids go to school and scout every store in town for the latest gaming system. DON'T wait in line with dozens of other suckers for the UPS man to maybe deliver hottest gift in town.
Just go down to your local appliance store & pick up one of these.
An Appliance Box
That is if you can talk them out of one. They are a hot item.
At least with 8 year olds.

Definitely! We still have our box from a couple years ago when we finally broke down and bought a TV. It's a bit altered, though; I cut little notches in the top and covered it with contact paper, with a doorway in one side - it's our castle!

Best gift this year, though, for Charlotte: a full-length mirror (it's true, we didn't have one of those in the house, either). We're still young parents and we're learning ... as in, dress-up clothes without a mirror are just okay, no matter how fabulous the actual clothes are; dress-up clothes *with* a mirror are hours upon hours of hilarious entertainment!

Hooray for simple gifts and big imaginations!
