Just a word of warning my sons first christmas he was so fasinated by the christmas tree and decorations that he ended up pulling over the tree around5-7 times till I decided enough was enough and took it down (didn't want it to land on him) he was 7 months old and crawling - need I say more.
On that note I don't put up my tree till two weeks before christmas as thats when its s'pose to go up = my mum superstistous (sp???) about it so i guess it got handed down to me. Use to have real christmas tree as love the smell etc... but now stick with the artifical one - its so much easier.]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 11:10:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4490&PID=87560&title=christmas-pressie-for-girls#87560 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4490&PID=87383&title=christmas-pressie-for-girls#87383 Author: meow

lol Kat at your remark about Ella not knowing about girly stuff - i wish i was so lucky. before i had kids i was full of the "i'm not going to let my girls have barbies they're unrealistic role models etc etc"..and i still think that, but paris has been given alot of them. We recently aquired a whole set of baby kelly dolls (you know, barbies baby sister) cos mum was getting rid of all my little sister's (18) stuff.. and so we now have a box full of these mint condition kelly dolls and clothes and accessories for africa. This has prompted Ayja to be soooo into barbies now.. we have had the box of barbies (yes, the box) out for the last week and each morning she comes into the lounge and goes "yay barbies!" i even bribed her yesterday into leaving daycare - which is usually a tantrum. but yesterday i said "let's go home and play barbies" and that was it she was in the car so quick.

Anyway.. as i was saying.. i don't think i can escape Ayja being a girly facist. she loves the ponies the barbies the dress up the dollys.. i spose she gets it from copying her older sis, i think she's missed a whole baby stage of play.. she jumped from rattles to barbies with not much in between. lol.

A friend of mine has a 10 year old and when he was about 6, she got a 'real' tree that year.

AJ promptly turned around to her and said "Mum, thats not a real tree, real trees come in boxes!".

Oh to be young and innocent again!!!!

Liz - we may "acquire" our trees the same way back in good old Rotorua. Not sure where you'd find a tree to cut down in Wellington... no bloody grass to be found, let alone a tree that no one will miss.

I might do the Toys for Trees thing but we probably are going to be in CHCH/Ashburton for christmas.]]> Fri, 17 Nov 2006 08:11:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4490&PID=87199&title=christmas-pressie-for-girls#87199 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4490&PID=87193&title=christmas-pressie-for-girls#87193 Author: meow

lol Liz I was about to say the same.. we used to always have a fake tree at home but since living with DP the past two years we've had a real tree.

Going to make another post but Gillies and Mark (Professionals) real estate has this thing for Christmas where you donate a toy to underpriviledged children (they have a tree with names and ages, you pick one off and choose a present.
