Favorite "old school" Christmas toy

[geepy]

I know when I was little Paddle Ball was dual purpose.

Anybody mention the game "Operation" ?

Lite Brite, Tinker Toys, Playdoh Fun Factory, and VIEW MASTER!

The ViewMaster and a few sets of reels could keep a kid busy on a 3-hour cartrip to granny's.

We didn't need no steenkin' DVD player in the car. We learned to read captions and used our imaginations.

Toss a cross- that just kind of dated me.

Any kind of stuffed animal
crayons and coloring books- of animals
roller skates.

Ooooh I forgot about the View Master! Those were so cool!

View Masters were neat toys. Oh my, how much simpler things were 'way back then'.

and every year my mom gave us a tree ornament or two.. so when we moved out, we'd have enough ornaments to fill our own tree. It worked!

One year, and I don't know what posessed my mother to buy these.. she got me and my sister matching PJs that had a target covering the chest.. it came with plastic balls wrapped with velcro....... needless to say, my male cousins had a blast with them....... the balls disappeared fast let me tell ya!

I am glad someone said the wagon from flyer I have the raido flyer and I was gonna say that

What about shute and ladders, I had a monkey with a banana in it's hand I don't know what it was called and I don't recall a name I had called it. there was a dog with abone in it's mouth it loomk like a bassett hound I had one of them. I had babbies but never interested in then I wanted cars and trucks and guns I was more on the boy side and no I am straight but from the toys I had you would think other.

I had a set of legos but never could build with them I got a baby doll one year that peed OY I HATED IT the grown ups said PLAY WITH YOUR paby and I took it in filled it with ater and it peed right then I never played with it agian after that.

what about a pogo stick I had one of them and a scooter I think it is called it has two wheeels but much bigger then they are now.

We had a old sled I belever my father owned it before we did it was one you could drive left or right and made of wood.
