Tween Christmas Wish List
Each year, "one" item costs as much as the pile of gifts they used to receive when they were in kindergarten...
The Girl
Clothing: Lots of "leggings". A big hat with pom pons on the ends. A duffle coat. Some warm/cozy flannel PJ bottoms. "Sweet" t-shirts. Those big boots with the colored-laces (Sorel's).
Books: Adores the cover of "The Candymakers" by Wendy Mass, "Savvy" by Ingrid Law (again, a "wow" cover...and the girlfriends are reading it, and it's "really good"), and "Touch Blue" by Cynthia Lord (just purchased at the Scholastic Book Fair, it's about island kids who are trying a drastic move to keep their school from closing. She is enjoying her early Christmas present).
Speaking of candy...a gingerbread house kit would be nice. Or anything from Goodship Lollipop!
Music: Wants ("wants" - under your breath...the way Brick does on The Middle...) an iTouch....and gift card from iTunes. Still liking Taylor Swift. And please, these headphones.
Bedroom: Just redone last year...now wants a big loft bed.
Sorry, luv, I know you no longer believe in Santa Claus....but that definately won't fit down the chimney.
The Boy
all he wants...is a Nintendo DSi...that's it.
Boys are so easy. I didn't say inexpensive...but easy.

The Tween Room
A less-than-12, more-than-7 girl, with the mind of a 20-year-old. One who listens to your choice, and chooses the opposite. She's pink or blue, and if she likes blue, she hates pink. She's Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber, and not Hannah Montana (anymore). Too old to go to Flying Horses (unless no one's watching). Prefers an Orange Julius, at DQ Edgartown, over a cone dipped with sprinkles. Playdates are passe, it's "getting together", please!
It's about now, that the room needs an overhaul, if she hasn't begged and pleaded with catalog in hand, already. Oh, and twin beds...yes...must have a place for her BFF to stay.
