50 Kids Get a Wii for Christmas. I know my ovaries are just supposed to shrivel up in the face of such hysteria and avarice, but I actually thought that was kind of sweet. I’m sure that if my parents had had a videocamera in 1983 when I got my Cabbage Patch kid I would’ve looked just like this. (Also, judging by the amount of wrapping paper and boxes in those living rooms: what economic crisis?!)

If you drank every time everyone said ‘oh my god’ it would be like the Roxanne drinking game, lol

Yeah, there’s a video somewhere of me when I unwrapped the *front row* New Kids tickets for Christmas 1989.
And there was much rejoicing.

I think I heard you from my house that year. And lo, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth in my living room. 🙂
