Every year I buy my kid the same thing. Big jar of Nutella and money in her bank account. Too easy.

I bought mine some vinyl this year. Taylor Swift, 21 Pilots, and Phoebe Bridgers.

The kid emails us a Christmas wish list power point presentation lol.

That's so cute. 😂

My kid has a list then will say "look, just send cash. I'll be happy with that". Good girl.

Heh that's actually genius. Makes it much harder for you to say no.

Kids are the age where it's clothes and gift cards for clothes. Wife is always perfume and some clothes, for me it's whiskey and clothes.

Are we basic? Yes. Are we happy? Also yes.

Basic is good. They get to spend time with their friends shopping and shit while mum and dad are busy.

Can I be your kid?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago

Sure but I will remind you to clean your room and my bathroom after you've trash it.

I think this is my last Santa year. I think he's playing along for my sake and more presents.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 6 months ago

Those that don't believe don't receive.

I still write From Santa on gifts.

My ex's friend would withdraw a number of silver coins where the total was equal to his age for his birthday. The 5c piece bag was a cracker.
