TODAY IS THE most magical day of the year.

You know why? Because tonight millions of Irish people will gather around and watch a television show about toys.

For the day that’s in it, illustrator @TwistedDoodles has drawn a neat cartoon that perfectly captures how our relationship with the Toy Show changes from, “I want that!” to, “Please God, don’t let the children ask for anything they see on this.”
