I remember the Cabbage Patch craze…I couldn’t figure out the draw either…kind of like Tickle me Elmo a few years back. We had an angel tree at church and my hubby chose a tag without looking at it. It said the child wanted a Tickle me Elmo and I told my hubby that this child is going to be very disappointed because they aren’t available and I wasn’t going to go crazy trying to get one. We did find another Elmo toy and I hope the 3 or 4 year old we bought for wasn’t too disappointed, but I’m not fighting and screaming or overpaying for something “hot” like that.

My mom taught me a very good lesson. BEWARE OF PEER PRESSURE. You don’t have to buy something just because everyone else does. Anyone besides me remember the Christmas everyone wanted Cabbage Patch Kids during the 1980s? So where are they now?! They are still around but not prominent. And another thing I have also learned over the years: there is life after Christmas, usually. My birthday is in February so I just tell hubby if he can’t get it for me for Christmas, chances are he can get it for me for my birthday, and in the middle of winter blahs, a few birthday gifts seem very nice! So what if I have to wait a couple more months? People expect way too much from one holiday!
