Why not have an old-fashioned Christmas for your family this year? Just
picture the scene in your living room on Christmas morning as your children
open their old-fashioned presents.

Your 11-year-old son: "What the heck is this?"

You:        "A spinning top! You spin it around, and then eventually it falls
down. What fun! Ha, ha!"

Son:        "Is this a joke? Jason Thompson's parents got him a computer with
two disk drives and 128 kilobytes of random-access memory, and I get this
cretin TOP?"

Your 8-year-old daughter: "You think that's bad? Look at this."

You:        "It's figgy pudding! What a treat!"

Daughter: "It looks like goat barf."
