I feel sorry for adults who don’t like video games.
One of the great things about Christmas was getting toys. As an adult, society frowns upon me asking for a Barbie, Play-Doh, or Lincoln Logs as a gift. Heck that frowning started as early as 12 years old even though I still longed to play with toys whilst the winds of puberty ravaged my body.
Aside from board games, video games are the only socially acceptable toys for adults. When I got Guitar Hero a few Christmases a go, it was like being a kid all over again. Some of the magic of Christmas returned. I had something to play with! It wasn’t useful like a cork screw or a cookie sheet, which are good gifts. It was frivolous and fun.
I recommend that every adult put at least one frivolous gift on their Christmas list. Something they can use that day. Sure you might need a new juicer, but wouldn’t a board game be more fun?
