Well, Thanksgiving is over and the leftover turkey is gone.  I’m glad for that.  I had enough of turkey potpie, turkey salad and the likes of that.  Now it is time to start thinking of Christmas.    My grandchildren were all here this weekend and I told them to make a wish list for the holiday.  After they left, I had time to rest and read their lists.  All five of my grandchildren had put a computer game on their list.  All different ones at that, but a computer game was on everyone’s list.   I guess each family has a gaming computer and the kids all love to play games on it.  When I called my son and daughter they explained that all of the games on the kids list were educational games.  They monitor their computer use and are careful with what kind of games the children have access to.  The kids learn as they play.  I guess that made me feel a little better about buying computer games for the kids.  I may buy each family a computer game, but I know I will still buy each child a book to read and an educational family board game.  Maybe something like Scrabble so they can learn vocabulary and spelling and spend time with their family together.  I guess I’m old-fashioned, but that is a Grandmother’s prerogative.
