We are knee deep in the holiday season. A word of advice to those parents out there. I know you all want to be heroes out there and score your little rugrats a zhu zhu. Zhu Zhus are this year's crack like Tickle me was. Elmo doesn't do for the youth anymore, neither do ferbies, nor tamagotchis. Do yourself a favor, save the $50 you'll pay on ebay and buy your kid a ukulele instead. When they are five they will hate you for it, but when they are fifteen they will thank you for giving them the opertunity to learn an instrument. Well actually they will still hate you, cause they are teenagers, and teenagers are full of angst. One day though.
