As you may recall from last year, The Deuce's list was dominated by high-end electronics and stuff hawked by Billy Mays (rest in peace). This year, her list is again the big winner in terms of sheer volume (a page and a half, single-spaced) and originality.
This year, I had no idea that when we watched The Addams Family movie for Halloween, that it would influence her Christmas list two months later. Obsessed with Wednesday Adams, Deuce has taken a liking to all things "goth." The girl has denounced the color pink and has plans to dye her hair black just as soon as I'll let her. (Read: never.)
So, without further ado, here are the highlights from Deuce's Christmas list, exactly as written, though I've bulleted it for your ease of reading. I was pleased to see that I've not totally lost her to the occult quite yet... all the i's are dotted with little circles -- cute as a button!)

Yikes! Remember if it happens it's just a stage. Remember Joel's orange afro and my brother Pete's dog collar days. It all works out in the end!
It's funny. She's 9 and can't decide if she'd rather be big or small. One minute she'll throw teenage-worthy attitude and the next, she'll ask to sit on my lap.
Last night I was informed that noboby says, "totally" anymore and to please stop. At least in front of her friends.
