How I Get What I Want For Christmas (With a Special Holiday Tip)

  Subtlety. 

That's all you need. 

It's really simple really. 

Stage 1

I make sure that my family is behind me when we go Christmas shopping- my siblings, my mom, sometimes my aunt.

Stage 2

I gaze lovingly at what I want. I observe it, maybe pick it up. Then I drop it down and walk away. 

Stage 3

I check the shopping bags stylishly to see if it's there. If it's not, I stylishly mention it in the car once and drop the matter.

Stage 4

Look surprised when you see your present.

Stage 5

Always remember to be grateful.


TIP FOR TEENS- Make sure that what you want is not too pricey for your parents or guardians pocket, if it is, forget about it. Be realistic, they are not Santa.

TIP FOR PARENTS- Watch out for what your kid wants or pays attention to during the holiday period. They may or may not be giving signs of what they want. Better still, you may ask them.

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
