At least those are the words from my son. :D While I don't really mind not getting anything - except if I got a snow plow - that would be the best ever for me - I like to see my son open his gifts and I love to see his face light up when he gets something he wants.
I think this year classifies as a fairly successful holiday season for Dustin. He scored big! He got:
* Several games for his Wii and PlayStation, what they're called I can't remember (ha!) Sonic something, LOTR, and Spyro something, and Mario Galaxy.
* Kung Fu Panda 2
* A cool red pocket knife
* A collectors pocket knife set
* A Fantasy Knife with display stand
* A Samurai Sword with display stand
* A cool red MP3 player
* A laptop
...and that's not everything!
Yup, a successful Christmas...though he might not get anything for the next five Christmases. LOL

This Vacuum Sucks!
I always have problems with vacuums. I swear, I think vacuums hate me.
Hubby had an old Kirby and while it was good at what it did, it was HEAVY and the bags were a pain the butt to change. Because I never wanted to change the stupid bags, it clogged up frequently. I depended on him a lot to "fix" the vacuum so I could clog it up again. lol
When hubby left to start driving, I bought one of those vacuums that had the canister that you emptied instead of dealing with bags. It was a lot lighter and I could vacuum quicker. It was great. Until I realized that I had to empty the canister more often than bags. It clogged frequently and I could never find the clogs. Out came the shop vac and I would suck the clog out. Then I washed out the canister and melted it a little. I covered the opening that I created with the melted canister with duct tape, but it never sucked quite the same. It would often drop icky stuff all over the carpet.
I fought with these two vacuums for years when I finally decided last night that I would buy a new one for myself for Christmas.
So this morning, I put it together and marveled at how clean the carpet was! when I was finished vacuuming. This vacuum SUCKS! Super suck power! haha! Now I'll just have to remember to treat it nicely, not melt the canister, dump the bucket out, and watch for clogs.
