Christmas craze…The Nintendo Wii. I have no idea or care in the world about this thing, but being from a Geek family, there was a small rush about a month ago to go to extreme measures to purchase one, hide it under my bed (still hiding) so it can be a huge surprise. It was not my rush, it was my husband’s. I actually had no idea what the thing looked like until I started seeing Wii commercials on TV. Prior to that, I just kept hearing “Wii, Wii” over and over and thought either my kids are learning French or have to go potty. I am only a teeny tiny bit more impressed since seeing the commercials, but again, if it were up to me and not the Geeks, it would not draw my attention.
Frankly, I think my kids deserve coal this year. They are lucky they have two parents because if it were up to me, they would get candy coal. This was a big deal to my husband, so it got thrown into the “choose your battles” pile.
So that is the background about my association with this system. My daughter stumbled upon the The Wii Use Safety Manual in Japanese yesterday, which I have to admit, is funny…

Aah! The Wii craze. My little guy is enthralled. The other night we went to Target, and he just stood there staring at a model, and drooling. lol It does look like lots of fun, and it is way more affordable than XBox 360 and PS3. It’s gotten great reviews as well. Let me know what you think once you’ve the chance to give it a go.
I only just heard about the thing this past week. No WAY are my kids getting one!!! ha ha. Not if I can help it. And I’m pretty sure Dh agrees, computer games are enough… They’re already on the computer way too much as it is.
Heehee, I totally relate…today I gave the threat, “If you don’t start listening to me, you are getting COAL for Christmas…USED COAL that is not even good for anything anymore JUST SOME OLD CRAPPY USED COAL!!!!!”.
I need a vacation.
Candy coal? You’re getting soft, Pansy.
If i had time i’d totally play that. Also, i’ve been pronouncing it “why”. Hm.
