So, it's that time of year again!

Yup, the insane Christmas List time!

What I want this year that I might possibly in some universe receive is simple:

1. Plain colored shirts (not pastel pink or pastel purple) for the kiddos - 3T and 12 month. Used is better than new.
2. Overalls or jumpers for the baby. Overalls and jumpers are good because when they get dirty, you only have to take them off and - presto changeo, new outfit! Used is better than new.
3. Naturally, a donation to your favorite charity that does things I agree with. If you're reading this journal, you know what causes I definitely *don't* support. If you're unsure, donate anyway and don't call it a Christmas present to me :)
4. Christmas crackers. I've never seen any, and I really want to.
5. The ability to get myself together enough to send out presents to other people. I highly doubt I'll even be able to send cards (I never am, am I?), especially this year - there's a lot going on.
6. Money with which to purchase presents for other people. Oh, I can manage it - can always make stuff or pass them coupons for babysitting and whatnot - but cash is always appreciated. (Like youse guys have any money of your own!)
7. Happiness for all of you. Or a reasonable facsimile thereof, anyway. If you're happy, I'll be happy, regardless of anything else :)

you've never seen a cracker? You have to be kidding me.

i was coming here to say the same thing. they used to be impossible to find, like 15 years ago when we moved from England and wanted them for Christmas in the US. but now... go into any department store and there are big boxes of them everywhere. i'm afraid they wouldn't have the nifty paper crowns like the English ones used to (the ones that even the stuffiest english business man will wear at Christmas Dinner), so i'm hesitant to buy any. maybe i will this year just for fun.

They're not an American thing. And whatever sayga says, I've never seen on in stores here. If you can't find them in New York, where *can* you find them?

irrelevant to this post, but there was a show on autism on CNN today, i didn't get to watch very much of it, but if you find it on youtube or happened to catch it, you should write something about it :)
