A Christmas Haul for Aditya

With the increased presence of aunts and uncles in the US, Aditya is raking in presents from everywhere. In the very shameless, yet very practical American manner, he sent requests out to his pinni/atta( he stopped believing in Santa at age 3) on exactly what he wanted (staying within a strict upper limit set by Amma of course), viz, Diary of a Wimpy Kid book set and a Star Wars Nintendo DS game. He also got two surprise presents from Krupakar Mama/Poonam Atta and Lavanya Pinni in the form of Three Investigators and Garfield books. He used part of his allowance (which he has been earning since October 2012 by doing his daily chores - 50% to spend, 30% to save and 20% to donate) to buy a toy he wanted. So he decided to defer the gift from his parents until February when a toy he REALLY wants will get released. In reward for his patience, amma promised to buy that toy at whatever price it releases at, on the day it gets released. He also used most of his December spending allowance to buy gifts for his 3 teachers and his younger cousin Arjun. As a reward for his generosity, he got a spot award from Mrudula Pinni in the form of one dollar and 4 bags of his favorite gourmet candy from Godiva. All in all, a big haul..
