3224ArticleRick Ace RhodesThanks guys. I know it didn't seem Retro enough, and that's something I try to avoid in general. However, I figured since it happened long ago it fit alright. Dec 14, 2015View
3225ArticleVaporman87It's easy to forget traditions that are gone. Once they are replaced by new ones, the old ones seem to get obscured by the passing years. After reading this, I tried to recall some traditions of Christmases past that are now gone. To my surprise, there are a lot of them. From the get-togethers at my grandparent's houses, to even the get-togethers (in more recent years) at my dad's and also my mom's house. We no longer do any of those things. My grandparents and my mom are no longer with us. My dad, getting divorced now for the second time, lives alone. No more family gatherings there. Those are just the big ones. There are so many more small traditions that are no more. All replaced by new ones that I and my own little family participate in. I hope these new traditions last for as long as my children want them to. I must always be keenly aware of what little things may mean a lot to them during the holidays.

3226ArticleVaporman87Ha! This is so awesome. So these people really set this up in their house and you could tour it? I want to do that!!! The T-Rex Angry Santa and freaky-deaky tiny pants elf are worth the price of admission alone. Those characters should be somehow enshrined by your old home town. Make it so. Can't wait to see what other strange and unsettling things were holed up in this house of Christmas horrors. LOLRetro Christmas Wonderland Part 1Dec 15, 2015View
3227ArticleMarshMellowHoju, It's awesome that you are still in touch with your childhood buddy. I wish I could say that "Lacey" and I had kept in touch, but our parents split up when we were about 12 years old. She lived with her mom in a different town (this was before we had internet at home) so we never saw each other again after that.Expl-ho-ho-ho-sionDec 16, 2015View
3228ArticlefuschniktHey Vapor..I was surprised just how many traditions, big and small, had gone for me as well. As I was writing this, so many forgotten things came flooding back. Even just the Christmas morning "procedure" so to speak. Waking up, Santa always left something in our room, my mom putting on Christmas music, waiting by the stockings for my dad to get his coffee (he took forever..might have been on purpose). It was really a walk down memory lane. Christmas Memories: Traditions Come and GoneDec 17, 2015View
3229ArticlemickyarberYeah....this dude seemed to be out there a little bit. BUT, it has given me an idea of something to do with a box of old, random, assorted action figures. Maybe I'll do something like this next year. Build a pop culture Christmas party featuring Rambo, Mr. T, Hulk Hogan, Alf, He-Man, and the rest. Seems like that would have been a unique evening touring the place. Can't wait to see the rest.Retro Christmas Wonderland Part 1Dec 19, 2015View
3230ArticlemickyarberI just read your story to my daughters, and my oldest wants to check to see if our church has a program like that.Christmas YuleogyDec 20, 2015View

3232ArticleVaporman87I was never a fan of the AoStH series, as it was far cornier than the other Sonic cartoon series. My favorite American produced Sonic program was the Sonic The Hedgehog series with Sally and the Freedom Fighters. That one had Gary Chalk playing Robotnik (he later played Man-At-Arms in the 200X MOTU series). But the best Sonic program produced by any country was the Japanese "Sonic X" show.

3233ArticleVaporman87Those people should be brought up on charges of Teddy Bear cruelty... making him sit alone on an endless train ride. Clearly they have no soul.Retro Christmas Wonderland Part 2Dec 21, 2015View
