| 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 | |
| 148 | Video | Mr Magic | How embarrassing. XD | The Naked Gun: From the Files of Poliice Squad - The Sound of Relief | Jan 15, 2013 | |
| 149 | Video | Vaporman87 | I loved that series of movies. Good stuff. | The Naked Gun: From the Files of Poliice Squad - The Sound of Relief | Jan 15, 2013 | |
| 1633 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahh, man. I share your joy of reminiscing about the use of the record function of cassette recorders/players of our day. Only, where you were delighting in capturing your favorite songs of the day, I was using mine to preserve, for all time, my ability to pretend to be a DJ/Radio Talk Show Host/Sportscaster... along with some buddies of mine. I have probably 40 cassettes containing various mixes of those pretending sessions. Some were actually funny, most were only funny to me and the people I recorded them with. Though, something tells me they will be found humorous again someday when my kids find them and start listening to dad acting a fool in his youth. E.T. was huge for sure. My mom even had somebody she knew make an E.T. cake for me. But this was not a sheet cake with E.T. painted on with icing. It was a cake IN THE SHAPE of E.T.! Probably about 2 feet high. It tasted... awful. But man... it was cool to look at. Thanks for sharing this with us OldSchool. It's good to read something from you again. | My Christmas 1982 | Dec 14, 2014 | |
| 1644 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Being born in '82 I missed the initial E.T. phenomenon, but I did somehow end up with a stuffed animal that had a leather like texture to simulate his alien skin. Such a weird choice for a "cuddly" toy. Right there with you on recording to tape! I personally commandeered every cassette recording device in my house to record old-timey radio dramas, morning drive comedy shows and NPR style interview segments. For Christmas a few years ago my sister got me a brand new tape recorder and some blank tapes to pay tribute to my old hobby. To echo Vaporman87, I can only hope my kids care enough to listen to my childhood ramblings. I will look forward to their reviews. | My Christmas 1982 | Dec 15, 2014 | |
| 1645 | Article | Vaporman87 | Perhaps we should exchange audio files of our "ramblings" for laughs. :D We may be the only people (aside from our families) to appreciate such things... ever. LOL | My Christmas 1982 | Dec 15, 2014 | |
| 1647 | Article | OldSchool80s | Thank you for reading, enjoying and commenting! My parents still have and listen to a Christmas mix tape I made for them way back then which includes my intros and commentary in between songs. A little embarrassing, but also great memories! I think your kids will definitely enjoy discovering your tapes. | My Christmas 1982 | Dec 15, 2014 | |
