Christmas, what is under the tree ?

[Justindo]

My wife will be getting the Guinea pig pen set so that she'll have more Guinea pigs (she already has the orange Easter egg Guinea pig set) and a place for them to live.  She really likes the Guinea pigs!

I don't think I'll be getting anything Playmobil related under the Christmas tree as my wife says I've too much now.  I plan on doing a Direct Service order next week, however, so maybe I'll put those items under the tree.

The generation of people born after the baby boomers, aprox. from late 60's to early 80's

Also as a state of mind if you view your child's education as a way to increase their maximum earning potential it also helps to classify you as a Gen. X'er ( money is the most important thing )

I also read criticisms that we "Gen X'ers" are cynical, compared to the "highly-motivated millenniums" (aka "Gen Y") (1980s - 1990s) who were brought up under highly structured, career-focused regimens by so-called "Helicopter Parents".

But, really, Bogro, the whole "gen-thing" is boeuf-merde invented by American marketting firms.  They categorize generation groups in an attempt to target advertising.

I guess that makes me a non-Gen then 

Thanks for the explanation.

i think i will offer only on playmobil set this year - to my nephew carolina, 6 years old.
my step-son and my other nephew started to have ither "digital" interests and i think ipods will be more suitable (they are both 10 and they both love music).

  on the other hand, i decided to offer some playmo-presents to my playmo-clickies.
  as they are still in boxes waiting for their new "cabinet" i started to think they should have a christmas dinner too.
  this way they wouldn't feel so unhappy with their present situation.

i started to buy some playmo-food for them on ebay - bread, cheese, sausiges, hams, pineapples, bananas, wine bottles, etc.
i will be filling their boats (they are all pirates) with food so that will not be so angry or hungry on christmas.

That's very thoughtful of you, cachalote.

[Rasputin]

Wow now there is a thought . Get presents for the klickies . I need to go get some Micro sets    and those Mini playmo present boxes

[Richard]

Hello, Rasputin ...

Is it polite in here to ask ? I am curious to who is getting what

Our two daughters are now young ladies who have their own homes and careers. Neither of them are very interested in Playmobil. We have no grandchilden. So, the only big kid is me ... 

I have made a very long list of new Playmobil sets that I would like Santa to bring. It will be interesting to see what he can fit into his sack for his sleigh ride here to the Virgin Islands.

You asked a great question, Rasputin ... But, I won't know until Christmas morning.

All the best,
Richard

Victorian Dollhouse for the 6 and almost 4 year old to share (and me to play with too).  Gifts to others' trees includes lots os 1-2-3 playmobil to those in the 1-2 year range, as well as some of those pull back motor cars and a set of penguins from direct order. The dollhouse will have some modern style rooms though as I couldn't find the kitchen and living room for that series. I have the church for my kids ... but I think it will wait for next year's tree. This year's advent calendar is the animals in the forest. Not as good as the first pink advent calendar but nice to have some badgers and extra animals.  I hope the fairy advent calendar will make over to Canada.... it looks great.  I have to get the creche and 3 wise men out this week from the Xmas storage boxes ....

Hi, do you mean the Victorian Mansion with the front foyer and rooftop porch or the re-release without it?

After making big Christmas purchases, Richard has his Canadian-Mountie-garbed henchmen inject him with serum that erases his short term memory.  This has to be true because every Christmas Richard shows us pictures of his white beard to prove he is Santa.
