This is the first year in almost two decades I didnt go. Its kinda sad really, not being a part of it. For me, Cabbage Patch started it. I am also a veteran of the Great Furby Wars. Tickle Me Elmo. Every game system and hot vid game...been there, done that. My kids grew up. Nothing to wait for any more. Nothing to stand in line in snow and zero degree temps any more for hours in the middle of the night (Ma law does not permit associates in the store before 12 am, so no stores open before 1 and Wally World opened at 4). No reason to commit multiple felonies in the process of scoring that gotta have it toy. My daughter has a little one of her own, but its her turn to be Santa and score that toy. I've kinda been melancholy over this since yesterday.
My time has passed.
