Well, folks, it's getting close to Christmas. One of the ways you can tell is when all the major stores start having their toy "wars" and toy sales, etc.

Now, this could be good for the Christmas shoppers and consumers, etc. After all everyone wants to find a good deal on Christmas gifts, or anything else for that matter. If you have time to comparison shop, is another factor also, I would think.
Just an added note, but I still find it hard to believe, and perhaps a little sad, that "Toys R Us" may not be the leading toy seller, etc., as it once was. I just think there is something special about getting a toy from a genuine "toy store", but then again, it is the toy that is really special and not where you got it from that matters most, I suppose, although some might disagree.
Speaking of toy stores, anyone remember the toy store " Lionel PlayWorld"? Wonder what ever happened to them. Kaybee is/was another good toy store too.
Our Walmart stopped having Lay-Aways about a year ago here, but K-Mart still has Lay-Away, which I would think has helped K-Mart out some in regards to Christmas shopping and other shopping as well. What do you think, though, does stores having Lay-Away help any at all, or not?
Remember, most of the toy stores also have video games, etc., too, I think.
Where do you think you will do most of your Christmas Toy shopping, or other shopping this year?
And, what do you think will be the big toy seller or toy that everyone wants for Christmas this year?
