What I Would Give for Christmas

I just gave this assignment to my 5th graders. Dear Santa, This is what I'd like to give for Christmas. One student said, "I'd like to give my sister away." Another said, "I'd like to give my sister a kick in the (backside)." From the sounds of the class this assignment is going to backfire I think.
Oh well, I tired.
What I would like to give for Christmas? These are not in any particular order, however the first on the list is going to be somewhat selfish. I would like to give Jen a 2-3 week vacation in Hawaii hoping that she would take me with her. I would like to reserve as many rooms as necessary and take family and friends to Disneyland. In addition give every family $1,000 for any expenses. The cool thing is I would charter a flight to carry everyone there. I would also pay for those who happen to be living out of the country to fly to SLC and then fly to John Wayne Airport with us.
I would like to give the faculty and staff at Greenwood Elementary a catered steak fry. Then purchase a smart board for all the teachers that desired one. Then I would give each teacher a $2,000 Visa gift card to spend on any school supplies they need. I would also give each person a bonus check just for the fun it. That would range from $1,000 to $2,000.
I would give Snow College's music department some money for scholarships.
I would like to go to a truck stop and buy dinners for the truck drivers. I would also sit at a gas station and buy tanks of gas for an hour or so. I would love to walk down the street and give away $100 bills to anyone I meet. I would rent a theater for my students to watch a movie plus buy themtreats.
Okay I think I am done giving for a few minutes.
Thanks,

OLD Man
