| 1706 | Article | Vaporman87 | You said it. Those items are more than the plastic and paint they are constructed of. They jump start feelings and memories that are easy to forget in our adulthood. That's why they are precious... what they represent, not what they are. | Dec 19, 2014 |  | |
| 1715 | Article | NLogan | I just realized two pictures didn't show up that I thought I had included. One was the advertisement of the Hardees' toys for Mickey's Christmas Carol. The other was a small plastic nativity that my other grandma had that I remember from the 1960s. <img src="/images/postImages/1419094216hardee\'s-christmas-carol.gif"><br><br><img style="width: 313px; height: 235px;" src="/images/postImages/1419094252plasticnativity.gif"><br><br><br> | NLogan's Retro Christmas | Dec 20, 2014 | |
| 1731 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow! With the popularity of "Elf on the Shelf" these days, I would think Phroomf would be ready for a comeback. The ad campaign could tout it's roots in the heyday of Christmas lore creation, and it's pre-dating of Elf on the Shelf by decades. Personally, my wife and I began a tradition a few years ago where 3 stuffed elves (one per kid) starts doing ornery things at night. Last night, the elves brought in a case of Funko TMNT figures and Funko Disney figures and tried to open a few of them before the kids found them doing so. It was cute. | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Dec 23, 2014 | |
| 1732 | Article | pikachulover | Believe it or not I have a copy of this too. My neighbor gave a copy of the book and tape. She game me the doll and the pocket too. My birthday is a little after Christmas, so she usually gave me Christmas things for my birthday. I forgot what year I got Phroomph. I don't remember the commercial. | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Dec 23, 2014 | |
| 1736 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 That Elf idea is awesome. My 4th grade teacher did a similar thing with Leprechauns during St. Patrick's Day and I loved it. @pikachulover Wow, you had the whole shebang, that's awesome! I think my regional theory is right, because you're another California kid who also owned the book and tape. We'll see if any Midwest or East Coast commenters can shed some light Phroomf's national exposure. | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Dec 23, 2014 | |
| 1760 | Article | shakin steak | Well, I'm an eastcoaster and I've definitely never heard of this. | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Jan 05, 2015 | |
| 1762 | Article | pikachulover | Look who I dug out of my storage space!? His tag says 1986 on it. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y235/pikapal/costume032_zpsa143c9b5.jpg | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Jan 06, 2015 | |
| 1763 | Article | Vaporman87 | Well what do you know? pikachulover has a Phroomf! That pretty well cements this as being a West Coast phenomenon. One that I wish East Coasters would have had the privilege of enjoying! >:( | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Jan 06, 2015 | |
| 1772 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover Sweet Christmas! And he still looks so new! He must be surrounded by Christmas magic from his time with Santa. Thanks for sharing. | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Jan 08, 2015 | |
| 1774 | Article | pikachulover | To be honest I never really played with the Phroomf much. | Forgotten Christmas: Phroomf | Jan 09, 2015 | |
