Balancing work and play while wearing many hats (I mean heels).

My Prediction for the Hottest Toys for 2020

October 16, 2020

I live for Christmas.

I am that person who will announce Christmas is 6 months away and then once we hit Fall, I will share the memes of how many Saturdays there are between now and December 25th. So, if you do not like that type of person, unfollow me now. 🙂

When my husband and I decided to move in with each other during our dating years I learned that we would not be getting an artificial tree like I had grown up with, but would instead be getting a real Christmas tree.

Artificial allowed for flexibility in not only bending those branches for heavy ornaments but for when the tree could go up. So it was a tradition for our Christmas Tree to be up on Thanksgiving weekend.

When I alerted my husband, who was then my boyfriend, that I was going to go buy a tree for our home, it was like sirens went off and I am honestly surprised I somehow made it to wife status with him.

You see my husband comes from a family that planted and sold Christmas Trees, so while this became a fun and festive way to celebrate my favorite holiday, it also became a fight every season on pushing the button of when a live tree could go up in our home.

That said, I also LOVE Black Friday shopping. To me, it marks the official beginning of the holiday season. You will indeed see me at 5 am on Black Friday in leggings, an oversized sweater, high messy bun, and list – with a smile on my face and giddy for shopping the best deals – or just shopping.

It is the super bowl of shopping for me. 🙂

I tell you all of this because this time each year nearly every major retailer and many online circuits release the what they predict will be the holiday seasons most sought after toys.

Given the background I have provided, you can imagine, I am reading these lists. I am also comparing them, and I have been known to go ahead and purchase now what I think I won’t find here in stores or even online in a few weeks.

The last few weeks, those predictions and even mine on what I should snag early has paid off.

Happy shopping! Or, should I say, Happy Holiday Shopping.
