The price of Christmas toys is outrageous – a hundred dollars, two hundred dollars for video games for the youngsters. I remember a Christmas years ago when my son was a kid. I bought him a tank. It was about a hundred dollars, a lot of money in those days. It was the kind of tank you could actually get inside and ride in.
He played in the box it came in.
It taught me a very valuable lesson. Next year he got a box. And I got a hundred dollars’ worth of scotch.
