This sort of madness was chronic. All the kids wanted ONE THING every birthday or holiday, and this was pre-Amazon (pre web!), and we devoted parents would descend on Toys R Us and Best Buy and Circle City....

Those were the days... NOT. And the desired toys were all so expensive.

shoot his eye out. His glasses break instead.

For the Nintendo Xmas, I think there were quite a few casualties among the parents trying to grab one.

I just started watching Christmas movies - just rewatched "Polar Express" "A Christmas Story" and "Christmas Vacation" this past week for the umpteenth time.

Last night I watched "A Boy Called Christmas" on Netflix which I really enjoyed. I saw the promo for "* Bit Christmas" and will probably watch tonight. Thanks for the tip!
