I just want the weather to be ok so the bf doesn't die on his way here next week.
Worst presents were the knocked off Barbies I got from my aunties.
I managed to enjoy them but that was because I was a grateful kid. I wasn't into Barbies so I didn't know the names of all the different ones, or which one it was cool to want that year. Me and my mum would have to look through Argos or go to the toy shop and look them up so we looked like we had a scoobie what we were on about.

I wasn't allowed Barbies as a kid
How long you got off for Christmas?

I said "Mum, why do they ring up and ask what BARBIE I want rather than what PRESENT I want?"
And she'd say, "Oh someone's probably selling them or they're fake. Just go along with it. Father Christmas will bring you what you really want if you're good."

The miniature ones only live about 5 years
having genetic researchers for parents made for pretty awesome, if occasionally scary, Christmases. And having to move and change names every few years.

personally, I'd be happy if he didn't die this holiday season, too
I think we all know the girl's world story, so I'll forbear on that one...

D'you know, I have a feeling that girl's world is still in the back of my car somewhere... along with half the tableware from the wedding.
