| 1707 | Article | NLogan | One of these days vkimo will be back on the west coast. He will then have access to his childhood pictures again. I hope he chooses to use them in a future article. So that we can finally see the man behind the mask. I know that he is not pictured here because none of these pictures are of his decade. The closest one is 1985 based upon the Transformers Autobot dress up playset pictured. | vkimo's Christmas Special | 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 1700 | Article | NLogan | The Life Saver Storybook is a must. Some years there was also a giant Hershey's Kiss. | Stocking Stuffers | 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 1697 | Article | Vaporman87 | Most generally my stocking was full of things that were not good for my health. There wasn't much in the way of toys in my stockings. Now that I'm a father/husband, my wife knows that no matter what she puts in there, there is one thing that is an absolute must every year... the Storybook candy box. Whether it be LifeSavers, Starburst, or some other brand, a Storybook box BETTER be in there, or watch out. | Stocking Stuffers | Dec 19, 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 | |
| 1695 | Article | pikachulover | @Barry I wanted to mix it up a bit with some more obscure songs, and novelty songs. | My list of Holiday songs | Dec 18, 2014 | |
