| 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. | 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 | |
| 1717 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was never one of those kids that were frightened of Santa... or the Easter Bunny, or any other Holiday legend for that matter. Well, excepting any Halloween related legends that is. The nice thing this year about visiting Santa, was that all three of my kids were happy to do so. That is a first. Usually, at least one of them was either not excited to, or just plain frightened to sit on his lap for pictures. My oldest son actually had difficulty holding back a big smile his year. That was awesome to witness. I love the stories and pictures you have added in this. Hilarious! | The Santa Diaries | Dec 20, 2014 | |
| 1718 | Article | Vaporman87 | Oh yeah, I forgot to make a comment on that baker's chocolate reference! I thought I was the only one who made that mistake!!! Ha! For months I avoided touching the stuff at the warning of my mom. But finally, one day, temptation got the best of me. Never again. My thoughts at the time were, "How can something so nasty legally be labeled as chocolate?" It seemed like the crime of the century to me. | The Santa Diaries | Dec 20, 2014 | |
| 1721 | Article | NLogan | You only left out 6 carrots for 8 reindeer, 9 if you include Rudolph. That would have been a bloodbath. That is a pretty cool looking Scooby Doo game that I had no idea even existed. Sometimes we must learn the hard way I got a chuckle out of both of you imagining your faces after tasting the bitter chocolate. | The Santa Diaries | Dec 20, 2014 | |
| 1722 | Article | pikachulover | I remember on year my neighbor who was 2 years older than me was showing off a reindeer eaten potato in she found in the yard. I told my parents I wanted a potato too next year. A few years later when my family moved to a house with a chimney. The first Christmas there I found a reindeer eaten carrot in the fireplace. We never used the fireplace anyway there weren't any logs or anything. The strange thing was I don't remember leaving any carrots for the reindeer. I always left cookies for Santa. In her younger days my mom would bake up a storm of scratch cookies. There were always some of her cookies laying around the house anyway. | The Santa Diaries | Dec 20, 2014 | |
| 1727 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah. This year was a rare year of all the kids loving to visit Santa... <img src="/images/postImages/1419265280Kids with Santa.png"> | The Santa Diaries | Dec 22, 2014 | |
| 1728 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Aww, great to see the kids sharing a moment with Santa together. Did they take turns telling him why they wanted or was it just a photo op? Yeah, I was pretty sure the bakers chocolate switcheroo has has caught most of us off guard during childhood. @NLogan I'm pretty sure Rudolph hogged ALL the carrots for himself anyway, only sharing with the Reindeers that didn't shun him during his years as a pariah. @pikachulover I never had heard this Christmas potato idea. I think it could go right up there with the families that hide the Christmas pickle ornament. Have you heard about that weird-o tradition? | The Santa Diaries | Dec 23, 2014 | |
