Gotta be my full-size GI-Joes (with jeep), a bunch of firecrackers and a huge sand pile at the back of the sub-division. Ahhh... mammaries.

Opps oh yea, loved my Tie-fighter with pop-off side panels when hit by my X-Wing.

My programmable Big-Trak toy tank was the coolest thing.

After Christmas shopping for my daughters (ages 3 & 5) recently, I must admit that the only real disappointment of having daughters instead of sons is that girl toys suck. At least they like Legos (Duplos) and dinosaurs.

Schwinn Black Phantom 26-inch-wheel bicycle.

Big expense, especially at the time for my parents, but that indestructible beauty lasted through several nephews and is still rolling somewhere.

Honda XR-75. At that time, we lived right at the edge of the desert and the Phoenix city limits, so I could take off down the block and be gone all day on it.

Also loved my Daisy 880 bb gun. Many a bird met it's fate by my hand.

Had a .22 bolt action, but could only shoot that when dad was around.

Also, kites. I loved making my own kites.

Millenium Falcon
Mongoose (from way back when the only place you could get one was a high end bike store.)

my sisters stuffed animals.

i used to go up on the third floor and throw them out her window.

she would scream and plead until finally she would go down and try to catch them as they plummeted to the ground.

she still hates me for that.

but shes a doctor now.

so i just say that i built up her character.

note: last time we wrestled, she nearly kicked my ass.

*Head down*

I had Mud. Some rocks.

I grew up poor in the late '50's early '60's. Dad was laid off from the Glass Factory..Libby Glass. I remember one Christmas '62 when some of our toys were slightly repainted. That was how we lived. Had to ask for milk from the Fire Department to feed my lil Brother. I woke up early in the morning to jump fences and gather empty Pop bottles to cash them in at the local store. Going to bed hungry.. just to dream of food..Man this watermelon hurts...

I promised myself that I would NEVER let my children feel the pain that I felt as a child.

Today, I make enough and no one goes to sleep hungry EVAR!!!

May you all take some time today and thank the Lord that you are safe and warm. There are many out there that do not have either.

BTW I had a G.I Joe same one for 6 years...I'm Retired U.S. Army.
Go Figure...

God Bless our American Service men and women!

All my brother and I got was a ball of string...we had to fight the cat for it.

Actually...these are some of my favorite Christmas memories;

The smell of fired caps from a cap pistol.

Stockings stuffed with firecrackers, candy canes, nuts, and fruit.

A lionel train set that I wish I still had.

Plastic model P-38, B-26, B-17, P-51, and Me-109s.

Red Ryder BB gun ... and a host of tin cans to plink.

All of it winking slyly at my brother and I under the glow of the Christmas tree lights.

Tackle football games in my Grandparents' yard with my army of cousins...(someone always got a new football.)

Well...this wasn't actually a toy...but it is one of my fondest Christmas memories...fried apple pies that my Grandmother always hid to keep the early arrivals from devouring before the other relatives could show up, and which one of my uncles invariably found anyway.

I still have that Lionel train set (or is it American Flyer?), copyright 1964. Restoring it is a project that I never quite get around to.

another vote for lego...and those matchbox cars (we had that kickass floor mat with the streets)

thats mostly because by summer they were the only things left intact
