Since this forum is DEAD...an OT !
What do ya remember as your possibly worst and best Christmas gifts ever ?
*besides sweaters socks and underwear* lol
Worst Christmas gifts for me, were quite elaborate, but back in the day of *sexist toys for kids*.
One wonderous Christmas my brother got a full Lionel Train set being a boy he could be given such. I always wanted a train set...but neither Santa nor parents gave train sets back then... to...GIRLS.
Instead I got 2 dolls, one was a very elaborately costly dressed 3 ft. tall BRIDAL DOLL in full outfit, and a Barbie Doll.
*Sigh* I was so depressed. I looked at the bridal doll and hated it, and popped the head off the Barbie doll in a few weeks cuz I didn't like her either. Don't get me wrong, most years I liked all the dolls that Santa gave me, but that year I wanted a train set and that bridal doll was some how sending this lil girl the wrong message back then...I really hated it and Barbie too.
BEST CHRISTMAS EVER for me was...when my husband bought me....and gave me for Christmas,
2 Full train sets/lincoln log set/ and mini trainset ho tiny version !
He said ...for years every Christmas I heard ya tell the story how gyped one little girl felt being...*a girl* to get stuck with bridal and barbie dolls instead of the Lionel Train set. So Merry Christmas !
HE made me so happy. I rapidly slapped up all the trainsets and tracks and village in a spare room we had and was playing with my train sets, like I was a lil kid again !
And every Christmas...I set up MY TRAIN SETS here...hug hubby and thank him for getting ...[a GIRL] her first train sets ever !
PS..I also now own my brother's Lionel train set HERE too.. told him if he did not help me move stuff out of my parents home when they passed, I WOULD TAKE HIS vintage 1950s huge Lionel classic TRAIN SET and keep it !
I DID ! muhahhaaa and it still works !
