I got a 4 daughter & 6 son, who just love to run around the house 
turning off the lights, and playing with the flashlight. I actually 
found this preschool hippo shaped one at Target, while doing some 
Christmas shopping, I had to get it. Maybe this way I won't have to 
hunt mine down. 
  I always tell the kids that Santa fills their stockings. My 9 son 
& 12 daughter don't buy it anymore but, they don't spoil it for the 
younger ones. We always make chocolate chip cookies and leave them 
out for Santa with a glass of milk. I used to do the same as a kid. 
So, I just passed it along to my kids. 
   Thanks, ~Ivy~
