    In the spirit of the season you should send links to Jesus Dressup out to your loved ones. It's free[1] and really makes one appreciate the holiday spirit.. or something like that.

    I really enjoyed that lump of coal last year, but this year how about something a little more, um, interactive. I've been real good. Honest!

    Thanks Santa!

    ... not giving the gift of MMORPG to your kids, because not only will you be laden heavy monthly fees, but you'll probably never see them again.

    Unless you, like... hate them or something. At least they won't pester you for a car anymore. Excelt way to remove them from your life without giving 'em away. And you can feed them with just cheap chips!

    Right, because I not only have a patriotic duty to spend spend spend this time of year, but I have to be told what to buy by some stuffed shirt.

    How about consulting the wish list your kids wrote to Santa? Or asking?

    These games are great and everything, but before you get any of them for me based on this advice, I would like to call your attention to the fact that I lost my job on Monday.

    Therefore, here is my list:

    A manual labor job at the North Pole, which probably has better weather and better working conditions than my last workplace

    And one XBox so I can play Fable.

    Thank you Santa!

    These are probably the same children who in the 80s were purchasing Atari's 1300

    Those were OK, but only half as good as the Atari console I had...
