meno, she was good at christmas stockings too. The cats pretty much own the house, so I had trouble finding anything of interest to them, unless my popcorn dinner counts.

Lynn, it really is a matter of convenience, I consider myself fortunate that my parents took the time.

It may have been a marketing genius that came up with the idea, and it may be a big convenience for lots of parents/grandparents/aunts and uncles…but as you stated… kids really know the difference.

We ignore Easter at our house, now that our child is all grown up.

Did you get the cats anything?
