Christmas is coming, time to buy useless toys

When you have children born in the few months leading up to Christmas you have the special treat of buying birthday gifts just as the Christmas toys are being put on the shelf.

Let's take a look at some of the wonderful toys introduced for the 2010 Christmas season shall we?

1. Sing-a-ma-jigs. The mouth is unnerving. My kids would probably love these. They will not be under the tree.

2. Squinkies. The ladies told me these are not cool and they don't want them. I'm going to try to get that in writing.

3. Zoobles. I like the colors, they're cute, and cheap at least. I guess LPS was getting old.

4. Video Barbie Girl. You have to see a picture of her straight on. She should be called Tracheotomy Barbie.
