It's still technically summer, but for some it's not too soon to think about what the kiddies will want for the holidays.
    
Toys R Us has come out with its annual "hot toy" list that includes tablets for kids, fashion dolls in the likeness of boy-band sensation One Direction, and even retro hits like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Furby.
