Everyone, we're looking forward to the holidays and spending time with all of you.  We would like the pleasure of your company.  We don't want you to spend money.  We will be moving soon and cannot load up with gifts.  If, however, you feel compelled to get something for the soon to be 4 year old, please consider a small legos set, serial numbers 60004, 60003, or 60001 or 60016, 60017, 60018, 4432, 4433.  You can build a small city with these.

Whatever you do, please don't get him a crusader costume with a sword, shield, chain mail, Iron Cross and helmet.  James went to a buddy's birthday party yesterday at Garfield Park in South Pasadena and the parents gave everyone Crusader costumes.  Most had the straight Christian swords and one had the curved Muslim sword.  These costumes are little plastic kits probably manufactured in China and sold in a big box store, if you can believe it.  I was stunned but kept my mouth shut (knowing I would be in big trouble with Taoster if I said anything).  You'd be shocked too to see a vaguely ethnic looking kid with a Mohawk dressed as a medieval crusader.

How does December 14 or 15th work?  James may want to head out to Durden and Patty's area but we're not sure yet.  He's back and forth on this.
