    My best Christmas was when I was 10, in 1980. I wanted a telescope SO bad and I can down Christmas morning and there it was. My dad had gotten me a really good one and I was so happy. It even had really dark lenses you could use to look at the sun. Best Christmas memory ever. Now, I'd give anything just to have my dad back.

    An important part of Christmas in the 1980s was the Christmas Toy Catalogue from major department stores and Toys R Us. You circled everything you wanted and handed it to your parents hoping they’d buy it all.

      I know. Any daycare I went to in the 90's & I went to alot of different daycares back then not going to get into why... 🤦‍♀️ They were littered with rainbow brite doll's, care bears stuffed animals, & magic nursery doll's. Ironically I never had those particular stuffed animals / doll's at my house mainly because I wasn't allowed to watch carebears. I thought the rainbow brite doll's were cute. As a 90's girl / kid who grew up mainly with mechanical doll's I was curious one day in daycare to see what the magic nursery doll's did so picked one up & started looking for an on & off switch & battery compartment when didn't find one on the doll just put it back in the toy box in the daycare kind of bored with it at the time to be honest. I knew the magic nursery doll's were popular at the time that was the other reason I picked it up to look at & try to figure out why so popular. Other than the doll having a cute face I didn't see the appeal~ 🤷‍♀️✌️

    Oh my goodness, my kids who were born in the 70's and 80's probably owned 75% of those toys. We lived in Germany at the time of the Cabbage Patch kids craze so we actually got a Cabbage Patch kid at one of their toy stores. His papers were all in German and his name was Hans Gunter. Some or their favorites were He Man, She Ra, Ninja Turtles, Tickle me Elmo, Beanie Babies and many of the others. I am having a lot of fun with these videos. Can't wait for the next one.

I couldn't imagine what people saw in those dolls and still think they are ugly. A few years later though I was running around before Christmas trying to find Ninja turtle toys for my son. Then it was a Gameboy he wanted, my daughter wanted Tickle me elmo and a furbie. Both kids are grown now and I'm doing the same with my grandkids. Lol

Having the love for the stuff I did back then made me be a toy collector as an adult and it's a great feeling to be able to reminisce with the stuff we had as a kid! I always tell everybody I'm a Toys R Us kid I don't ever want to grow up! All we do is deal with pains and bills when we get older! Might as well enjoy the things that made us happy when we were young as long as we can!

Nona bought the dolls that summer, before the craze hit. Once the craze hit word got out around town that Nona had three dolls stashed away and people were offering her hundreds of dollars. She refused all the offers because she bought them for us. Each of the dolls resembled the granddaughter it was bought for. Mine had red hair, green eyes, and her name was Amy.

      By the way Paul, I listened to the other band you mentioned Broken Peach not bad, but I’m hooked on The Dead South. Actually listened to them for hours yesterday while I was doing my ongoing physio. If you haven’t heard of them, have a listen to Pentatonix, they are an a cappella group from Texas. My daughter loves them, she couldn’t find anyone that wanted to see them when they came here last, so I went with her to a Sydney concert. They were amazing, they are all great singers and each do something different. Our favourite is Mitch Grassi though, he is the tenor/counter tenor of group. Enjoy 😉

On one visit my friend stole a bunch of pogs but I didn't know it until after we had left and he gave me a bunch of them. I was so scared that I never went back to that Wal-Mart with him again. I literally put the pogs in a bag and shoved them in a drawer somewhere, never having played with them. lol

    But as I was, and I am still a great old child, I must say the very greatest joy of all time was made by myself, when I bought my Nintendo 64. Nothing in my life could compare with the hype, with the joy, the satisfaction and fun that this system brought me. ❤ Mario, star fox, goldeneye, and later, Ocarina of Time, which is the best souvenir of my life.

The KISS dolls, Tonka trucks, The Hess truck, a bag of plastic army men. I'd set up battlefield in the sand and play with them for hours, and race cars on a little race track. Those were fun. Than came out the board game Strageo a battlefield strategy game. Still I remember a lot of these 80s and 90s toy.

But you forgot to mention the hot item for Christmas 1999, Game Boy Color!
