Perhaps it was Christmas of 1970 when I received my first set of Little People at the tender age of one.

Sounds like a personal problem! Too bad so sad!

I always loved Lincoln Logs. I had the ones with the slat roofs, not the new ones with the one-piece plastic roofs. It never failed, you'd be putting the last slat on top, when the bottom one would slip and they would all slide off.

I still set my train up to go around the folk's Christmas tree each year.

One of those lifetime gifts, that just radiates nostalgia.

Growing up we didn't have a lot but we had each other. I remember many, many hours of playing many different kinds of plain old card games. Lots of good memories.
