"Scrooge" Theme Party Ideas

My son's 5th birthday is coming up and the theme he chose this year is "Scrooge", as in Ebenezer. He has a fascination with Christmas movies.

Need Advice on Money Tree for 8 Yr Bday Party

I am throwing my son a bowling party for his 8th birthday and all he wants is a wii gaming system as a gift. They a very expensive and I cannot afford one alone. What I want to know is if it would be tacky to ask for some sort of money tree from his guest for the gaming system instead of gifts and how would I go about doing it if I decided to do this. I've never been really good at these sort of things and would really appreciate the opinions of other moms.
