The 2009 holidays are upon us. Christmas is the main day we emphasize gift giving and showing others how much we care.

The joy reflected on a child's face when he or she receives a new toy is priceless.

We as parents, friends, or grandparents are so busy throughout the year that we do not realize all the new toys available from which to choose.

Listed below is an indication as to which toys are deemed the top 10 choices this holiday season.

1. Radica Ucreate Music. This digital music making system lets children make their own songs just like a real music producer. They access a large selection of tracks, and special effects from an online library. Easy to understand and use.

2. Rubik's Touch Cube. Features colored lights and an electronic touch system, modern or classic sound effects, and an internal memory. It has a small stand upon which it sits and can be a desk accessory. Very eye catching.

3. Mindflex. One can move objects by concentration! A lightweight headset that has small sensors on the front of the head and ear lobes measures brain waves. The ball is guided through and obstacle course via your thoughts. The kids will love it!

4. Transformers Movie 2 Bumblebee Role Play Helmet. Replica of the hero transformer Bumblebee on a helmet. The main emphasis is a voice feature that remixes ones voice with 6 music styles, as well as, the sound of the bee changing from car, robot and back. Kids love hearing their voice transformed!

5. DJ Hero. A music rhythm video game that has an electronic turntable peripheral that lets gamers mix and scratch to popular mash ups like real DJ's.

6. FurReal Lulu the Cuddlin Kitty. A new member added the the FurReal animal family. This robotic toy is the likeness of a cuddly cat. The sensors within allow her to purr when touched. She can roll over, lick her paws and face, just as a real cat does. Very lifelike.

7. Star Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer Helmet. A toy from the Clone Wars TV show. Tinted visor, crest on top, 5 signature phrases from the movie, voice amplifier and changer, adjustable to fit head sizes.

8. Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters. They are robotic hamsters that are very realistic and interactive. They move and make hamster sounds, cooing and purring in their own play set. Hours of fun for kids!

9. Smart Cycle Extreme. This is built like the original smart Cycle only it has a newer more colorful style. The premise is the same, exercise for kids while having fun. The new cartridges feature bumpy roads, construction areas, oil slicks and graveled paths which creates a rumbling effect in the handle bars.

10. Wii Motion Plus. A new Wii accessory. It connects to the Wii remote controller. It has additional sensors that respond quickly to the slightest twist, movement of the wrist or any motion, this enhances accuracy and play control.

I hope you find the list helpful when making your toy selections.

May Joy, Peace and Prosperity be with you and your family throughout this Holiday Season.
