My story is a bit different. I wasn't expecting any Lego for Christmas. My
parents have been telling me for months that they don't know what I have,
need, or want and that they weren't going to get me any. However, they did
continually ask me what I wanted, and I always told them that I wanted gift
certificates to some store that sold Lego. That's the only thing I told
them. I had no luck, however. Not one gift certificate. Not one single 2x4
brick under the tree. I'm forced to wait until my birthday (which is about
six months away) and try again.

PS My condolences to all of those who had to go lego-less this holiday
season. :(
