| 1690 | Article | vkimo | Wowzers. I'd trade all my cumulative Christmases for just one of yours. I can't believe the loot! The fact you still have most of it is pretty amazing in it's own right. I guess one of the bonuses as you stated of having split parents, is you pretty much double up on gifts. I see everything that made the 80s toy generation so great in these pictures. | Dec 18, 2014 |  | |
| 1692 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Glad to see you got to analyze your own Christmas photos, very impressive. The picture of you "bowing" your brother is pretty much the cutest thing ever (yeah, guys can say cute!). You got a lot of great gifts over the years, but I have to say I'm most impressed that Santa had super hero coloring books to give out instead of candy canes, that's my kinda Santa! Also, are the girls on either side of Santa supposed to be elves or Nuns? | NLogan's Retro Christmas | Dec 18, 2014 | |
| 1694 | Article | NLogan | Dunno they looked like nuns a little because of the black and white but I think they are supposed to be elves. | NLogan's Retro Christmas | Dec 18, 2014 | |
| 1696 | Article | NLogan | @vkimo what is really impressive is that neither of my parents could afford the presents they got me. My dad is a postal carrier and my mom a secretary. Now that I am an adult I wonder just how much debt they went into for those smiles on Christmas morning. | NLogan's Retro Christmas | Dec 19, 2014 | |
| 1698 | Article | Vaporman87 | Good heavens man! I'm afraid I'll have to hold off a true comment until tomorrow when I actually have time to read this beast! :) Looking forward to it though. Until then... | NLogan's Retro Christmas | Dec 19, 2014 | |
| 1699 | Article | OldSchool80s | Loved seeing the pictures especially the ones with the great 80s toys. Merry Christmas! | NLogan's Retro Christmas | Dec 19, 2014 | |
| 1701 | Article | Vaporman87 | Well, now that I have some time to make a proper comment... This was a great look into your Christmases past. It was as much a look at you and your brother growing up through Christmas as can be achieved through writing and images. I can look at these images, and read about the circumstances surrounding them, and almost sense what you were feeling. Especially with your parents divorcing... I can relate to that very well. Thanks for sharing this awesome piece of NLogan history with us. It means a lot, this time of year especially. | NLogan's Retro Christmas | Dec 19, 2014 | |
| 1705 | Article | NLogan | Thanks Oldschool and Vapor. Can you guys guess which of my parents gave us the BB guns and cap guns and army gear? Divorce is a hard thing on kids with parents playing for the kid's affections and using the kids to get back at the former spouse. Most kids from divorced families have a higher divorce rate themselves. I have been lucky to be married to my best friend who also comes from divorced parents (hers divorced while we were dating in college)for nearly 15 years now. If anything I learned that no matter what my parents loved me. That time spent together was precious. That feelings of love can be remembered by seeing or picking up childhood objects and remembering the circumstances and feelings when they were received. Maybe that is why I am so nostalgic. Because it is not just HE-MAN, Snake-Eyes, or Han Solo it is a reminder of my parents' sacrifice and devotion to two little boys who couldn't possibly understand what was happening and needed desperately something to cling to to make them happy. | NLogan's Retro Christmas | Dec 19, 2014 | |
| 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. | NLogan's Retro Christmas | 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 | |
