1700	Article	NLogan	The Life Saver Storybook is a must. Some years there was also a giant Hershey's Kiss.		Dec 19, 2014
1714	Article	OldSchool80s	PEZ was definitely the perfect stocking stuffer. So were packs of baseball, football, basketball cards. Always received one of those "books" of Life Savers rolls.	Stocking Stuffers	Dec 20, 2014
1719	Article	Vaporman87	Well, really these days I prefer the Starburst "books". But any storybook will do. Not that I even do any of the activities in the book. I just like the novelty... for some reason.	Stocking Stuffers	Dec 20, 2014
4748	Article	Dalek227	My mom went craaaaazy overboard with Stockings and I loved it. I wish I had the means to do that for my son but we still get some cool stuff. When I was really young I had that Tinkerbell little girls perfume and makeup set in my stocking. The yearly big tin/box of Crayola Crayons. Silly string, bathtub crayons, lots of candy, new tooth brush and tooth paste, water color set, just so much stuff. It was really kind of ridiculous to spoil us as much as they did but again, I can't really say that I didn't enjoy it and sometimes i'm the same way with my son, or try to be. It was only last Christmas when he was 13 that it finally occurred to me to stop getting him lots of junk just so it looks like he's getting a lot. Just get what he actually asked for and call it good.	Stocking Stuffers	Dec 20, 2018

1653	Article	Vaporman87	Your visits to your uncle's house remind me of my visits to my grandparent's house during Christmas. There were always some of my cousins there that I rarely saw or knew, and it was never really a comfortable place to be with all those people there that seemed to know me, but me really not knowing them. Awesome article v... as usual!	vkimo's Christmas Special	Dec 16, 2014
1654	Article	NLogan	I got the tank and had it stolen from my grandma's back yard. My twin brother raced after the thieves they were also kids who had jumped the fence. I ran for my dad in the house and came in crying blurting out stolen and my brother's name. My dad thought someone had kidnapped my brother. I never saw my dad run that fast my life he cleared the back fence 6 feet high by just putting a hand on top and leaping over and racing down the alley. Me and grandpa jumped in the truck and roared around the block to head them off. The kids were older than me and my brother but somehow my brother scared one into dropping the gijoes and tank and bolting the other direction. My dad caught the other one. The first one probably saw my dad pounding down the alley after them and gave it up. We escorted the kid back to grandma's crying. My dad made me share my gum with him which I thought was unfair as we called his parents. One very angry dad showed up to collect him and promptly smacked the snot right out of him. I felt bad. The dad took the thief home. The cops were never called. We recovered most of the toys stolen. The tank remained missing. It was the last time we used grandma's garden as a jungle to play in. We had turned our backs for a few minutes setting up defenses across the tiny little irrigation canal that she had in her yard for watering and they must have been walking up the alley and saw our toys. I learned that we treat all people with respect even if they have wronged us and that most "bad" people are just good people that made a bad mistake. I don't know if the tank was worth it to them, it sure didn't look like it to me.	vkimo's Christmas Special	Dec 16, 2014
1656	Article	vkimo	So one kid remained on the loose? I thought you'd be able to squeeze the one kid into giving up some intel on who the other culprit was.	vkimo's Christmas Special	Dec 16, 2014
1657	Article	NLogan	We were lucky to get his name and number he was crying so hard.	vkimo's Christmas Special	Dec 16, 2014
1658	Article	Vaporman87	Sounds like the one who got caught learned a lesson for life. I hate to think what he endured when they got home.	vkimo's Christmas Special	Dec 16, 2014
