It is that time of year again. Yep, time to ask the kids to get their Christmas lists ready. This always brings back fond memories for me of growing up in the 1970s, and anticipating Christmas morning.

More often then not I was very lucky in that at least a couple of the toys on my list were delivered by Santa under the tree. My lists always included things like Nancy Drew, and Bobsey Twin books, Barbie dolls, and board games like Clue.

I would also occasionally receive something that I was not expecting like one of these hopper thinga-ma-boobers.

Remember these? My only real memory of the hopper thingies is hopping down a set of cement steps on one of them. Ouch!

When did you grow, and what were some of the things on your list?

Thank you to Abbey for putting together Nostalgic Saturday. Why not join us?!
