No one can escape the magic of Christmas. It is the most wonderful and memorable time of year for children (and many adults). However, for those new parents, Christmas might be a bit more stressful. You want to make your baby's first Christmas special. It's hard to know what's right or best for your child; however, there's help. The Christmas toy selection for 2009 offers fun toys which also help you and your baby laugh and learn.

Sesame Street The Original Tickle Me Elmo from Fisher-Price - Elmo had been a Sesame Street character since the early 1970s, but he came alive and popular in the 1980s. Since then, Elmo has been a Christmas favorite for small children. This year's selection for Christmas includes a comeback, the Original Tickle me Elmo. This classic toy started a phenomenon when it was first released and still brings smiles to little ones today. When Elmo's tummy is squeezed, he'll let kids know, "That tickles!" as he breaks out in laughter. This toy is a hit for your new baby and for preschoolers as well.

Takealong Tunes from Baby Einsteins- We all love the classics. Now, so can your baby. We know listening to classical music makes us feel smarter, but it can also make us smarter.
