All I want for Christmas is...
My Two Front Teeth
It's a new year, and as such, requires a new list. Here is the official year 2008 Christmas wish list for the family.
Besides, it never fails: the day after Christmas you think of new ideas for Christmas that you would have wanted, but never thought to tell anyone about.
I'll update it throughout the year, as new ideas strike me (at least that's the plan).
Most of the toys this year were located by walking through Toys R Us, so most can be located there. However, we usually find that (no matter where we usually locate it, it can almost always be found at Toys R Us.)
