Santa hates you…
January 2nd, 2008
So there are three houses with first graders on our block and Santa brought Wiis to two of those houses. Want to guess which house is Wii-less?Santa did, briefly, think about bringing a Wii. And then Santa thought, “Those kids are 6, 4 and 2 — why in the world would they need a Wii?!”
So are you feeling guilty now, Santa, feeling like you’ve doomed those children to be second-rate gamers for the rest of their lives? Nope, not so much. Santa knows that they have plenty of time ahead to be glued to a screen (see: me). Santa also knows that although their father would’ve surely enjoyed Wii-ing with his kids, that he also has a bit of a game obsession and that he’d be Wii,Wii,Wii-ing late into the night. Every night. And so we remain Wii-less.  For now. Â

(oh man, you have NO idea how many times I mis-typed “Satan” during this post. Enough that I’m starting to feel the need to call in Max Von Sydow. What’s my New Year’s resolution? Exorcise!)

We are also Wii-less. Which will make my wee one “wah” as soon as we visit our wonderful, Wii-ful friends.
Curses.

Hey, I told the kids that Nintendo refused to license Wii to Santa’s workshop, so he had to stand in line with everyone else. No way was Santa going to be standing in line or paying 2x the MSRP on Ebay for *my* 7 year old.
He did, however, get a hand-me-down Xbox and Lego Star Wars. So I guess Santa did alright after all. Santa knows where the deals are.

Wii don’t have one, either.
Here’s hoping wii have no friends with it, either. Wait a minute, wii have no friends, period. Never mind.

P.S. I love your Santa.

I’m so glad to hear that some of my favorite people are Wii-less as well. And Sara, the licensing thing makes me giggle!

I’m not sure I appreciate the accusation. But I did update my blog, which, productivity wise, is bit like tossing a couple Wii bowling balls.
