HOUSTON – In case you haven't checked, there are only 14 shopping weekends remaining before Christmas.
To help harried parents, Toys R Us released its list of 2013 Hot Toys on Wednesday.
There are 36 play things the retailer claims will be the most "buzzed-about" items this season. The toys are broken down into age appropriate categories.
The retailer also released a smaller list, sort of a "Best All Around" list. They call it the "Fabulous 15;" and they list them in alphabetical order.
