Hottest Christmas Toy 2009

Not even the Annual Toy Fair in New York City in October could have predicted it.

The Christmas toy that caused such a ruckus on Black Friday and is now causing a frenzy on ebay are Zhu Zhu Pets, four animated gerbils that have toys, carriers, and even their own transportation vehicles as they ramble and rumble aimlessly around your living room floor.

The buzz about these rodents on the web: if you or your child wants one, hurry up and buy one now on-line before prices reach the astronomical high the week before Christmas.
