well, it's the Christmassy season, clothing stores have put on their Christmas albums, and the grocery store has put up a fake christmas tree decorated with merchandise in the front doorway.

Christmas always gets me all nostalgic for my childhood.
so i figured "hey! nostalgia thread!"

post shit from your childhood, and really try to reach, I mean yeah rainbow brite and transformers still stir up a little something, but they've been done to death by the current generation.
Try to think of stuff you loved as a kid that you really haven't seen around in years.

Here are some of mine:

    I wonder when we'll hit the point where popular culture is based on being nostalgic for that one time when popular culture was focused on nostalgia

    my dad, i am pretty sure, wanted me to be a boy
    which is fine because i liked boy stuff regardless
    i remember he bought me something like this gi_joe_1964-2.jpg and my mom got mad (but my gi joe had fuzzy hair and an orange jumpsuit)
    and he also got me a huge set of lego, which i loved and had a special little suitcase for

    legos were my favourite above all else, though
    and i never tried to eat it!

    yes and then they made those markers by the same company
    where you drew on the black sheet with the magical marker and there was color underneath!
