New Way To Get Rich? Sell Your Kids Presents on ebay.

Like many parents, a guy in Montreal had braved the Christmas shoppers to nab the uber popular game Guitar Hero 3 for his 15 year old son. Just like my hubby!

The story takes a twist when the man (who does not want to be named) came home to find his son and his friends smoking pot in the backyard. And just like any other parent, the man proceeded to his computer to list the game on ebay.

The father wrote in his ebay ad: "I finally got the Holy Grail of Christmas presents pretty much just in the nick of time. I couldn't wait to spread the jubilance to my son,"

An Australian man was the winning bidder at (sit down for this part)$9,100!

So would you sell your child's christmas present on ebay as punishment?

Getting Ready for Christmas

Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was dressing the boys up in Halloween Costumes and now tomorrow is already December! We've already gottten the tree up (on Thanksgiving), the stockings hung (last night), and all those miserable (um I mean wonderful) singing characters are up. Batteries will come out tonight (check!).

And.... we are ALMOST done with Christmas shopping - yeah! A very good thing since we will be slammed with Nutcracker rehearsals and performance for the next 2 weeks. We had our photo session on Wednesday, so I will post pics from that soon. I don't have any of me in my costume yet because (Drumroll please) - I lost weight and have to have the costume taken in! WOO HOO!
