What was the most memorable gift Santa brought you as a kid?
THIS IS A MUST SEE!
Christmas is just a few days away! How are you on your gifts? How many more people do you have to buy for? Well, I started back in the summer and now I need to finish. Good luck! Now that I am a Father x2 I am looking for those perfect toys that my kids want for Christmas. Every year at this time I flashback to when I was a kid and think about all of the really cool gifts I got!
We got talking about this over a Thanksgiving Uno-fest at my Sister’s place…the bike was pretty cool! It had pads and a number plate (even though I didn’t race lol #21). I will always remember the first hockey stick(s), my bro got one just like it…we would go nuts in the basement (Dad was the goalie and used a tennis racquet as his keeper stick!)
I also remember the classic things like my Swatch Watch and the Rubik’s Cube (got that taken away in the middle of Christmas morning Mass Doh!)
I look at the wii’s and PS3s now along with Rockband and Guitar Hero etc. and think about how basic my Intellivision was or the Nintendo game system was! We would stay up all night trying to master Pitfall.
What was your favorite toy or thing you got for Christmas?
THIS IS A MUST SEE!

A teddy bear when I was 5. That was in 1961 and I still have it. Technology can’t outlast the basics!
