With Christmas around the corner, and a three year old at home I thought it might be helpful for friends and extended family to express my feelings about new toy which will without a doubt make the list of the all- time most annoying gifts of Christmas past. In the tradition of Teddy Ruxpin and Tickle Me Elmo comes Disney’s latest assault on responsible parenting. Dance Star Mickey has the potential to be even more unbearable than either of its aforementioned predecessors, and that by the way is saying something! I don’t have to warn Moms and Dads that this is a gift other people give your child.
In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve not been a fan of Disney for some time. As a history teacher I’ve been frequently appalled by students who believed that John Smith and Pocahontas were lovers, Thank you Disney for whoring out our history! Their formulamatic story lines, and insistence on making movies which correspond with their theme park rides, (after the fact mind you), hasn’t helped their cause in my mind. I keep waiting for the cinematic release of “TEA Cups, the Movie!” I will make one exception in my case against Disney, that being for their one franchise with any originality or imagination left. Of course I’m referring to Pixar, their writers and animators are genius.
The fact is I’ve never quite understood why the entertainment giant has made such a point of making Mickey Mouse it’s sort of, flagship character. I mean, when was the last time the marsupial stared in a full length, feature film? I can only assume that Dance Star Mickey has come about as a result of dance craze television shows like “So You Think You Can Dance,” and “Dancing with the Stars.” My little guy is a great kid, but he already knows how to make noise. The last thing I need right now is a stuffed toy that makes him more efficient at his noise making. And by the way, isn’t the great thing about stuffed toys the fact that they are silent? That and they also double as a pillow.
Of course this toy will find a huge market; kids will love it, especially if they see the rest of the family watching dance shows on television. But then kids will generally enjoy whatever you happen to get them, provided you do better than socks, or the notorious pink bunny of “A Christmas Carol” fame. My advice is this: skip the dancing mouse this year, and tell grandpa and grandma to do the same. Tell them… I know tell them you’ll leave out the mousetraps on Christmas Eve night. I’m betting you’ll have a much more peaceful New Year!

As you may know Obama personally hired several outspoken marxist and communists to be czars in hos administration.
Van Jones was hired as the Green Jobs czar. When he wad exposed to be a communist party activist he was fired because he received too much bad publicity.
The Green Party is just a disguised name for the communist party. They hijack something as noble a pursuit as cleaning up pollution and the environment and hide communism in it.
They then call this “social justice” as a more acceptible concept to swallow by the masses while moving the country further towards socialistic and communistic ideas.
Many young people and college students are believing the lies with no grip on US and world history.
It is clear from those Obama hired in his administration that he is a spoke in the wheel towards the US turning away from capitalism and individual rights and freedom.
Every year the most popular toys change and it seems like they get more expensive. I think that the easiest place to Christmas shop is Wal-Mart. They have all the newest toys at a cheaper price than Target or Toys R Us. This year three huge kid’s movies came out on video and along with the videos came a whole line of toys. Wal-Mart has a huge selection of “Toy Story 3” toys, “How to Train Your Dragon” toys, and “Beauty and the Beast” toys.
Toy Story action figures and toys are one of the biggest hits for the 2010 Christmas year. Wal-Mart has Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jesse, and Rex dolls for the lowest price around. These dolls talk or roar. Wal-Mart has the entire Toy Story action figure for five dollars. These action figures are a great stocking stuffer! Kids of all ages will have fun playing Toy Story 3 board games.
How To Train Your Dragon movie and toys have become one of the top items on little boy’s Christmas list. Wal-Mart has cheap action figures, play sets, and even Viking dress up toys. Your kids will love the large action figures of the fire-breathing Night Fury. More exciting toys that are the most popular for young boys are Bakugan toys, awesome Star Wars The Clone War action figures, Transformer action figures, and all your boy need to become Iron Man. Stinky the Garbage Truck quickly became a huge hit. Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys R Us display Stinky and show off his awesome tricks. Wal-Mart sales Stinky for at least ten dollars less than both Target and Toys R Us.
For young children and toddlers the most important thing now a day is what a child can learn from a toy. Wal-Mart sells the two most popular toddler toy brands; Playskool and Fisher-Price. These toys are great to help your kids learn how to crawl, walk, talk, and play. Your little children will love all the Nick Jr. and Disney toys. The dancing, moon walking, singing, and shaking Dance Star Mickey Mouse just might become as popular as the “tickle me Elmo” from about ten years ago. Dora the Explorer dolls are always a big hit for young girls. The two most popular dolls this Christmas season are the Singing Birthday Dora and We Did It Dora. Your young girls can learn about each season with the Dora Window Surprise Dollhouse.
You most likely have seen the many commercials for the popular “Your Baby Cant Read” products. The different sets of books DVDs and flash cards teach your baby different words as they are growing up. The salesmen recommend you start this process before the age of three. Simply a word or short phrase is placed on the television screen and then you will see some one doing what the word or phase said, such as the phrase “arms up” or if the word was “dog” you will see a dog. Wal-Mart just started to carry the “Your Baby Can Read” package for less than half the price that is asked for over the television commercials.
Two more popular brands of educational toys are Leap Frog and Vtech. Leap Frog came out with the new way to explore books, Tag. With Tag your child can simply place the pointer onto a Tag book and the pointer with read what is on the page. There are many different Tag books for both boys and girls.
Leap Frog also have the held hand learning system, Explorer Learning Experience. It has over 4 fun video games that are all extremely educational. Vtech has many different games, books and toys that are very education for children of all ages. Young toddlers can have fun with the Vtech 3 in one learning scooter and ride-a-long, and the Vtech light up bath toys. The Vtech V-reader will help your kids sound out words as they learn to read. There are many selections of “E-books” with popular characters such as Dora the Explorer, Toy Story’s Woody and Buzz, and the Disney princesses.
Nothing is more exciting to a young girl than the pink aisle in the toy section of Wal-Mart. Coming to theater soon is the movie Tangled. Wal-Mart has all the Tangled toys, such as; Rapunzel Sparkle Princess fashion Doll, Rapunzel Braiding Friends hair Braider, Rapunzel Wedding Gift Set, and even the Disney Rapunzel Fairytale Tower. Barbie have been around and loved for generations. Wal-Mart has a large selection of Barbie dolls. The newest exciting thing is the Barbie 3-Story Dream Townhouse.
