Countdown to Christmas (2)

After considering ways to make Christmas special for children with very little, I spotted an article in The Guardian entitled Meet the new face of Christmas which discusses what will fill Santa's sack for children in the western world this year. According to toy manufacturers who made their annual prediction of Christmas best-sellers last week, games based on films and TV characters will be the best-sellers. Retailers said a surge in the popularity of entertainment characters could be due to the summer's bad weather, which led to increased cinema attendance.

The article links to a gallery of what retailers expect to be the dozen best-selling toys this year. Included is a Dalek Sec hybrid voice changer mask, which changes your voice to sound like a Dalek (until the batteries run out...)
