Seriously? Have you no hobbies? Like to travel? I'm kind of fascinated by the concept of boredom when it comes to adults. You can do whatever you want, how could you ever be bored?

Car insurance, health…

Six years ago my then 3 year old son saw the Santa version of the snowman pan in the catalog and asked me to get it.
