We had our annual Christmas eve at my house where the kids get their first stocking to open. The gifts are typically holiday pajamas along with shampoo, lotion, etc. etc. This year I threw in Crest Spin Brushes just because I saw them at Walmart and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Upon emptying out her stocking Erin announced that the spin brush was her favorite gift and she and Sam immediately went to brush their teeth while the rest of us were forced to observe.
Later that evening we watched "A Christmas Story", which has become a tradition with us. It started years ago with just the adults making it through the whole movie, the younger ones losing interest, and has evolved into everyone in the family reciting the lines throughout the film. Shellie and I had seen the movie for the first time on Christmas eve in 1983 when it was in theaters.
On Christmas morning after the kids went through their loot which consisted of Rock Band, clothes, The Dark Knight DVD, and many other toys and games I asked Erin what her favorite gift was. She didn't even stop to think, but said "my spin brush". Sometimes wandering through Walmart looking for stocking stuffers pays off.
