Experts say these 5 toys will be in high demand for Christmas 2023 and that may sell out well before Santa comes to town.

Let the Christmas Shopping Fun Begin!

Whether you like it or not, we're just a hop, skip, and jump away from the holiday season, and the signs are everywhere you look...

Toyland at Blain's Farm and Fleet has officially opened, and all the holiday toy catalogs have started hitting both our virtual and actual mailboxes. My daughters have already created a massive holiday wish list, and I know I better get on it or I will be seeing two disappointed little faces on Christmas morning.
