Cabbage Patch babies! OMG people went nuts trying to get them! I had two when I was a kid and I also had one that my Mom had made for me..That was the first one I got. She couldnt afford the real thing so she had someone make me one..I LOVED it...*sigh* I wonder what happened to that doll...The Cabbage Patch craze was very similar to the Tickle Me Elmo craze that happened a few years ago.  |

when i was a kid the greatest gift one could recieve was a new pair of shoes and store bought clothes. and to have company and relatives show up for the hollidays. i grew up in the country on our farm in upper michigan back in the 1950s. sounds like things were hard back then but we never realy noticed as most were in the same lifestyle. we thought we had it all. wooden nickel  |

Oh I know I'm going to feel old. When I was a kid, cabbage patch kids had just come out and everyone was tring to get more than anyone else. It was like the Cabbage Patch Wars...lol Also, Strawberry Shortcake was big and of course Barbies. Atari *thats probably spelt wrong* was HUGE! Rainbow bright was another one. Oh BTW Furbies are just evil. My daughter had one and it would move and whatnot even when it wasn't on. It went to Furby heaven right away.  |

There is a lot of things I would have liked to had at Christmas as a child. My father didnt believe in exchanging gifts and therefore, Chrismas was just another day. The majority of my childhood days were directed by abuse from my father. I can remember several Christmas's where a beating was the highlight of the day. If you have but 1 gift to give on Christmas, let that gift be love. I rarely experienced such a gift as a child. I hope everyone receives a gift of love this holiday season. (((HUGS)))  |

My favorite gift was a Tiny Tears doll that I received for my 3rd Christmas in December 1960. That poor doll got dragged everywhere. I got a Barbie in 1964. She was so ugly I hardly ever played with her.  |
