I know the holiday season is here. Not just because the prospect of writing (and grading) exams is looming large, and not because my local shopping mall is completely tricked-out with festive decorations. I know it's here because I've been on a desperate hunt for various hard to find toys for various family members. My nephew wants a raccoon Webkinz. My local toy stores have lots of Webkinz. They have dogs, they have bears. They even have a very cute penguin. But no raccoons! And my niece wants a "Bulls-eye Ball" game. I didn't even know what a Bulls-eye Ball game was, let alone where to find one! I prefer to support my local retailers when I can, but I have to admit that Amazon and eBay have saved me this holiday season!
