| 3583 | Article | vkimo | Sweet article Mickey, got me right in the feels! Your dad seems like the genuine article. The fact that he did so much for others speaks to the real spirit of Christmas. Sadly the holidays bring a lot of pain and emphasis on the less fortunate, but that's the chance to help out. I enjoyed the formatting and font change, made for a nice comfy read. Those toy sets look so awesome. I wasn't even there for most of the 80s toys and feel they had the most appeal. It was like the marketing dept back then was on a whole other level. Looking forward to the next piece! | Dec 15, 2016 |  | |
| 3582 | Article | mickyarber | Yeah, it really should be all about the giving, and I have what I feel is a pretty deep appreciation for that aspect of the season now. The bottom line of this article must have gotten cut off. Where it says "Stay tuned for an article going into more detail"....it should read "Stay tuned for an article going into more detail about all of those presents of 1986." Weird. | 1986: The Year That Santa Became Real | Dec 15, 2016 | |
| 3581 | Article | Vaporman87 | This story of your father helping others during Christmastime reminds me of the stories I've heard of my Grandfather and how he helped others without ever saying anything about it. That's what the Christmas Spirit is really all about. The giving. Especially to those who are struggling and just hoping to make it through another Christmas with food on the table. Thanks for sharing these memories Mickey. They will do us all a lot of good this Christmas. | 1986: The Year That Santa Became Real | Dec 15, 2016 | |
| 3580 | Article | SockofFleagulls | @rickacerhodes Gobots truly get a bad rap. Transformers has a great legacy but Gobots had a decent cartoon with great toys. @HojuKoolander Glad it jogged some memories! @oldschool80s Merry Christmas! Waiting for your entry now! | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 14, 2016 | |
| 3579 | Article | OldSchool80s | Enjoyed the read as expected! Merry Christmas! | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 14, 2016 | |
| 3578 | Article | massreality | Thanks guys. I'm glad you all enjoyed it. It was nice being able to relive a Christmas memory with people who actually understand the significance. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 14, 2016 | |
| 3577 | Article | vkimo | @echidna Grape Escape is so sadistic looking back now haha. That's funny you mention Aliens, my brother had this weird thing where all he could write was "Aliens" he would scribble it everywhere. I always thought it was impressive since he was like 4 years old and could spell it correctly haha | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 14, 2016 | |
| 3576 | Article | echidna64 | Awesome article Vkimo, I'm glad your brother still had a sweet Christmas! Extra points for the The Great Grape Escape board game! haha One birthday when I was really young, I was really into the Aliens toys but when I couldn't say the letter "L", it sounded like "R" instead. So when my aunt asked me what I wanted I told her "Ariens" or "Aryans" haha Luckily, the guy at the toy store figured it out (it must have been a common issue). But could you imagine? "My nephew would like your latest Aryans toy" lol | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 14, 2016 | |
| 3575 | Article | Hoju Koolander | You're video game stories are always the best. This doesn't beat your Nintendo story for strange acquisitions (no prisoners had a Genesis to sell this year, huh?) But it definitely wins for best emotional roller coaster and happy ending. Like so many of us here, I can relate on the divorced parents at holidays deal, but luckily my Mom's boyfriend's grandson was a cool kid and became one of my best friends, which helped smooth over the weirdness. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 13, 2016 | |
| 3574 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Ah, sweet Christmas memories. Nothing better than vintage 80s holiday pics. I had a GoBots binocular set I got around 85 or 86, so this really took me back. | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 13, 2016 | |
