We all know that those Cabbage Patch dolls were the rage
this year, but what about other gifts?  We noticed in our
family of 8 (counting my brother-in-law) plus close
friends that besides clothes, most of us got at least 1 book.
I myself got 6 from my family and girlfriend together.  My
father mentioned that if you took a poll, books would
come out right near the top of the list, while items like
large appliances and tools are at the bottom for the average
gift.  Pinstripe jeans also seemed to be a big item this
year, and I bet home computers were right up their.  I
wonder how home video games (Atari, Colecovision etc.)
did?
