| AJ's told everyone that he wants BeyBlades for christmas... probably so that they can pass the word to santa if santa forgets. |

 |
| i was really impressed with the whole event. they had these ornaments ready with the kids' names for santa to distribute individually. |

AJ asked me at the Elgin stop, "is that it? i thought you said we were going to the North Pole? |
