the boys always look forward to cars on Christmas and Santa never fails. This has been our tradition for 33 years now! I love hearing the little grandsons now talk about which car is coolest, which will be fastest, etc. The nicest part is that you can get cars that delight whatever age range you are looking for. (I did find them on sale for a dollar less during the last week of Christmas, but I still think ordering online - without the hassles of normal shopping makes it worth it!)
