The conservative argument that Barack and Michelle Obama were not pro-Christmas was always ridiculous.

And look here they are demonstrating the Christmas spirit far more effectively than some people we could mention. 

Do you think you are done shopping for your daughter this Christmas? Perhaps not.

I think this is a marvelous idea, and so late in coming.

My daughter truly disliked the dollhouses, and Barbie's my mother gave her as gifts, but after I bought her Star Wars figures and Lego's she would not stop playing with them. In fact THAT fueled her desire to create set designs, and to make movies, which is what she does now.

I think we now realize that teaching little girls to be princesses, housewives, and mommies is outdated. But a present that teaches them that they can be ANYTHING, now that is a gift worth giving.
