Did you get the a paper this weekend… did you notice something special inside? If you are a “grown up” you might have missed the magical book inside. The Great Big Christmas Book from Toys”R”Us was inside. Featuring more than $3,000 in savings and three pages of coupon offers, this year’s catalog is packed with deals for every gift-giver. I remember it coming when I was a kid and I would keep it in my bedroom and look at it over and over and dream of all the neat toys inside. Funny to see almost 30 years later, my son has the same reaction as I did.
I gave it to him… at first he just peeked into the envelope. Standing right in the middle of the kitchen, he then says, “MOM, there is some cool stuff in here”. Then he laid down on the floor and looked at every single page. I asked him if he wanted to go lay on the carpet… nope he would not budge he was in the “zone”. I had fun watching him slowly look at every inch of the page, then turn the page and find something else to be excited about. Oh to be four years old again, and let little things be so magical.
Just when I thought he was done, he got up and took the book with him…. and then jumped into the ball pit yelling “BOOYAH”. He laid there almost another hour just looking at The Great Big Christmas Book … happy as a boy can be.
With The Great Big Christmas Book deals valid Sunday, November 2 through Saturday, November 22, plus several “Ultimate Wish Saturday” events to be held throughout the month, kids can revel in building their holiday wish lists, check off their favorite playthings and visit their local Toys“R”Us store to experience this year’s hottest toys.
