does any of you people remember the good ole days, when christmas was the amazing and it seemed to take forever to come around. Once you learned the truth about christmas, (which i won't say clearly for strictly legal reasons) did you notice it was never the same. i mean, sure its still good craic with new gear n all but, back then it was so much more, ya know, magical.

lets face it, this christmas, i'm gettin Majora's Mask, Chmpionship Manager, Commandos 2, ack you name it i got it, but when i came down the stairs to see things i hadn't already seen or knew about like my original gameboy with tetris or my Snes bundled with Mario Allstars, it was far better, and far more memorable. These days i virtually buy my own games n stuff so i know where they are in the house and i know all about them anyway, from mags and the like whereas, aged 7, i had never seen the thing b4 and it really exited me to see it.

i have younger brothers and sisters and when they come down, they always look real genuine, but i just sit and play the nintendo all day and don't get into the whole atmosphere. sorry if you don't ever get that but i almost nearly feel jealous of them because of it.

all of you out there who delight in telling your 9 year old cousins or freinds' siblings, just don't bother. they can work it out for themselves when the time comes.

In the old days, Santa used to get the elves to make all the toys, hence a lot of them being wooden. But now commercialism has taken over, Santa has no choice but to ask parents to help him by buying some of the gifts and sending them to him. He still picks out children who've been naughty and sends them a piece of coal (or Superman for the N64 if they've been really bad!)

Besides, Santa is busy before Christmas, splitting himself up so he can appear in lots of shops at once around the world to find out what kids want and sitting them on his knee.
