If this is any indicator, every year when those Salvation Army Christmas angels
come out (at the mall they have a tree and each ornament has the first name and
age of a local needy kid and a list of what he or she would like for
Christmas-- you pick one and go get the stuff on the list for the kid), I have
them go through and pick out the ones in which the kids request LEGO. Normally
there are at least two or three, but this year they only found ONE-- and it was
a mom requesting LEGO for her ten-month-old baby. (Now what am I going to do
with those extra 4288 buckets? :-) )
