I’ll never forget the way Christmas inevitably worked when I was growing up: my mom would ask me to tell her what I wanted, I would make her a list, and somehow I’d open my presents under the tree and they would not be what I asked for. “But I thought you might like this better!” my mom would say merrily, and I’d take a deep breath and drag her to the store the next day to return it and get the game I had actually asked for.
I guess Microsoft has already considered that this problem happens, which may be behind the reasoning for the Holiday Gift Influencer, which is a handy little list you can use to generate a letter to Mom and Dad to tell them what games you want for Christmas. I don’t know if it works, but it’s worth a try. And if it fails, you can always go to sugarbushsquirrel.com and discover one of the strangest websites ever to soothe your woes.
