I feel like I'm fairly mature for my age, but around Christmas time I can't help but remember how extremely exciting this time of the year was for me when I was younger.
My workplace is a member of The Wish Tree Project -- a program that helps less-fortunate kids get Christmas presents -- and has already setup a few "wish" trees around the building. I'm not sure if I was supposed to, but I poked around one of the trees until I found a card for a boy that asked for something I would have enjoyed as a kid as well. Not only does it make the task of shopping much easier, but it's actually makes the whole process exciting.
The card I drew was for Devontae, and he would like some Transformers. I don't blame him -- I used to think Optimus Prime was such a cool dude. However, nothing was cooler than Blaster. My cousin had Blaster, and man was I jealous. Maybe one day I will be so lucky. But until then, I'll hopefully pass on some of that excitement to Devontae.

When you come to The Kirk, you can play with both Blaster and Optimus not to mention the other 30 that I have lying around.

6 year old Ahmed wants a walking dinosaur set, spin globe, lift & grip caterpillar, 2 jean pants, 1 pack socks, 1 pair mittens and 1 pack of underwear... How much are we supposed to spend on these kids?
How about the Transformers 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime?
