Favorite toy ever was this Kenner Family treehouse my grandmother gave me one year. I played with that thing for years. I still think about it.

Oh My!

My Sister had one of those. I remember them well! She also had an EasyBake Oven too. She ruined that by cooking Playdoh cupcakes in it.... Me, well I had my GI Joes! The nice full-sized ones too...not the little "midget" ones of later years! And some of the old ones are worth some major bucks now. Unfortunately, most of mine were blown up with firecrackers...strapped to large bottle rockets and occasionally chewed up by the dog!

I think it was 1983, the big toy for girls was the illusive Cabbage Patch Doll

I got off work early (Graveyard Shift) and waited for the shopping mall to open so I could go inside to wait 2 hours for the store to open. This store was getting something like 25 dolls in, by the time they opened, there had to be at least 200 people in line, luckily I was like #12 or something like that. When the store opened, it was chaos, I lucky got a doll and held on to it for dear life.
But I have to say that it was worth it on Christmas morning, I still have the doll, all tattered but still whole.

We open family presents on Christmas Eve and Santa presents in the morning. My parents didn't bother with wrapping the Santa presents--instead they went through the effort of setting them up so that I could play with them immediately upon waking. One Christmas (I think I was about 5), Santa brought a motorized cable car toy. He (my parents) set it up so that it was hooked to the wall next to the tree. Unfortunately, that wall was shared with my parents' bedroom and was directly opposite the bed. Being a young child, I had woken up early to see and immediately started running the cable car up and down its line, meaning my parents got to hear the motor's vibration through the wall at 6 am. My mom still grumbles about that.

In my current house, the master bedroom is upstairs and on the opposite side of the living room....

Oh..I remember those!

I remember a news clip of a woman snatching one from a little girls arms in the store back then. What a frenzy those little dolls caused! Nowadays we just have people camping out in front of stores for days on end...for a new IPhone! And people getting trampled for the latest over-sized televisions....

Very Nice!

He lives about 4 miles from me here in Fl. HUGE house and property on the lake. I remember when he first got his start on a local radio station here. He'd call in about twice a day on the air. Cool guy!

I have always done live trees. We always went and cut it down and toted it home. Generally the short needled trees seemed to hold their needles longer but one year the long needled one held up great thru Christmas and New Year's celebrations. Took all the decorations off and no needle drop so it got decorated for Valentine's Day... It made it through Easter and then it was time to take it down.

When I was a kid we would drive around Christmas Eve to look at the Christmas lights. Santa would come while we were driving around. We never could figure out how the presents appeared. We weren't old enough to notice that it coincided with my dad's need to go back to the house and make sure he had locked all the doors.

Looks like some of you folks jumped the starting gun for the contest...

And somebody already beat me to posting this song, but without the animation... so I will start this off with my all-time fave Christmas song/cartoon!! (no, it's not in Spanish!)

(and yes, I still have the 45rpm of this!!)​

Greg Lake did this song when he was a beautiful young man, with a voice to match... but sadly, the last time I saw ELP, he had lost both his good looks and his voice!! When they started doing one of my fave songs (Take a Pebble) it was so bad that I left to go outside and have a smoke. But I met a really nice guy out there, so it was all good...

​

From the Youtube description:

"I Believe In Father Christmas" is a song by Greg Lake (most famously a member of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer). Although it is often categorized as a Christmas song this was not Lake's intention. Lake wrote the song in protest at the commercialization of Christmas.
The song was recorded by Lake in 1974 and released separately from ELP in 1975, becoming the Christmas number two in the UK charts.
.......57 days!

Another Classic poking fun at Christmas...

(the guy who uploaded this synced the MP3 audio to the vid, so it's a little off in places...)​
