A 7-year-old Ont. boy might have just added himself to next year’s naughty list after calling 911 for receiving snow pants as a Christmas gift.

(Shudders) They don't come back from the maple syrup mines.
Every now and then they let one go to spread the horror, as a warning to others :)
What I see on TV adverts regarding buy buy buy esp. car sales is kind of disgusting and covers up what the whole thing about Christmas really is.
here's one to you from me.
It’s Canada. You’re going to be happy to have the snow pants, kid. Trust me on that.
Got lots of clothes at Christmas as a kid. Was I happy? No. But the reason was we didn’t have a lot of money to waste on toys.....the money the money was to be spent as a gift it had to go to much needed clothing or we would have been running around naked in school.
