I remember my mother doing that for my sister with Cabbage Patch Kids when they were all the rage. (She and I are 8 years apart) I'm pretty sure mom paid about 200 bucks for one to be sure it would be there Christmas morning. (This was in like 1985 - so that was a lot of money) She got pissed when I told her that she was a fool for letting Santa take the credit for that delivery. :D
I'm rather at a loss this year with my daughter. She is SO spoiled she couldn't even come up with a list of what she wanted.

I went to 4 states trying to find that stupid thing and paid a fortune for him. AND was hit by some old lady that wanted the last one there. lol
I'd go out of my way, but not to that extreme ever again. lol
