Thanks Olivia! I love watching cartoons and can't wait to watch these with Milan :)

Christmas List

Olivia Gershwin — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 19:11:05 -0600

Wow, what a list! And congratulations on the baby, Maryam!

One thing I would recommend adding is Christmas movies. The Christmas Classics have been my favorite part of the holidays ever since I was a kid. Every year for as long as I can remember I’ve always looked forward to wrapping up on the couch with my family and watching Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town, especially. Wouldn't that be a lovely tradition to start with Milan?

I’m really glad I don’t have to wait for all of the movies to come on TV this year, and can finally have all 7 together in the gorgeously packaged Christmas Classics DVD Box-Set! And that bonus music CD is quite lovely if I do say so myself. You can buy this keepsake at any store where you buy DVDs, but it’s also available at http://www.christmasclassics.tv? I only know about it because I work with the company. This is something my family and I will treasure for many holiday seasons to come. And the beautiful packaging really does make it a special gift.

Happy holidays! :-)

Thanks for your feedback!

Aruni,
You are so right about Robert, but he may surprise us all yet. I am not giving up hope!
Hope you and yours have a great holiday season ahead.

Sylvia,
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll take it to heart. And Milan is a pretty happy baby, especially when he barfs on us ;)

Elisa,
We are married to geeks; what can I tell you?

Rich,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll talk to you if Robert indeed decides that is what he wants me to get him for Xmas.

Kaddi,
Thanks for the kind words. Happy Holidays!

wow, what comprehensive lists

I haven't even thought about what I will get my family for Christmas let alone what I want. I think I want a $1 million dollar investment in my company. :-)

If Robert is like most guys I know I think he'll opt for many of the items on your list that he can buy with dollars. :-)

recycling those gift lists

Maryam,

So when Milan is 6 months old and tired of his toys, you can trade up with a new site for recycling kids stuff called Zwaggle.com. It will work with Patrick too, although he might take less time to want to trade his games and gear for upgrades. That way, you can have what you want, not pay out any more cash, and save the planet as well.

And yes, babies don't really smile at 6 weeks -- unless they are exceptionally happy, which might be the case with Milan.

What a great list of "alternatives"

Sometimes it sounds like Robert and my S.O. are the same person ;)

Great lists!

GPS

Hi,

Don't get the Magellan RoadMate 760. It is last generation technology and would be disappointing. For a dual purpose (hiking + car) GPS, the Garmin GPSMap 60Cx would be a better choice than the Summit, but you'll have to buy maps for either one.

If I can help with the decision, let me know.

Also, congrats on the baby. We have a new one too, born in August.

There are interesting things I hadn't seen yet, like the FlyTech dragon - Thanks!

ok those are interesting

Not necessarily for travel, but I've spent enough time on airport floors that I can definitely see the value. Very interesting.

Travel Pillow

ComfyRest — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 07:50:53 -0600

Though it is not as convenient as an inflatable pillow or a small neck pillow, the versatility of the SquidFace and ComfyRest pillows make them very valuable. They were invented to alleviate the pain from my herniated disk while lying on my stomach in the sun with my head turned to the side to breathe. They can be enjoyed ergonomically facedown (even on a laptray), on your side or back If your plane is delayed their value will truly be on the airport floor for comfort. They can be viewed at SquidFace.com
