Christmas is a make-or-break season for John Eyler of Toys 'R' Us.

Toys 'R' Us Inc. and FAO Schwarz are preparing for a bleak December even though it is supposed to be a toy retailer's busiest season.

Toys 'R' Us, the second-largest U.S. toy store chain, said yesterday it will close 182 of its Kids 'R' Us and Imaginarium stores and eliminate 3,800 jobs after it posted a disappointing US$38-million loss during the third quarter.
