Amazon just decreed that the holiday season is here by releasing its Top 100 Toys list

It’s early September, and in many cities and states across the nation, kids had their first day of school this week. It’s not even technically fall yet, and there are still several major holidays between now and Christmas. But what the heck, let’s just go ahead and start the holiday shopping season now, because Amazon said so by releasing its top 100 toys list.

It’s officially time to start four months of gift planning, even though we’re all going to procrastinate long enough to need that free two-day shipping that comes with our Prime memberships, because of course we are.

‘Tis the season, so here are the toys Amazon predicts your kids will be begging you (and Santa) for several months from now — or, at least, a few of our favorites. There’s literally 100 of them, so you’ll probably want to peruse the full list at some point. Bookmark them now, and you’ll know exactly what those youths are talking about, months before sending a letter to the North Pole even occurs to them.
