        That Lost in Space Robot looks cool, Mike.

        My family really didn't do big gifts on Christmas or Hanukkah. Birthdays was the big thing, but my mom always believed why wait to reward a kid. So I got stuff through the year every once in a while. It wasn't until the 90's and I met my wife that I got to do a Christmas morning with gifts.
        It's all good!

          Wow Mike, for a kid who just scored all those toys, you sure didn't look very happy. That LIS Robot is way cool, and is that a See and Say on the television set? (you have that call that cool piece of vintage a "television set".)

            I love these pics...I know there is a photo somewhere of me tearing into my (1978?) Star Wars (12-backs) and y-wing fighter on Christmas Morning but due to my parents divorce I am having trouble locating them.

                Mike, that looks like a GI joe on the right

                I have to get my mother to dig out the old pictures, she packed them away somewhere in her attic and let me tell you, that attic is a very scary place....Hoffa might be buried up there for all I know. I still find vintage goodies up there every time I go up....just bits and pieces but it all adds up.

                  I don't have any pics of Christmas in the 70s, but I do have some of myself with Sinterklaas and his Black Petes in the 70s, in case you wanted to devote a chapter on the "European Santa Clause" who brings presents on Dec 6th, even tho we also have the other Santa Clause.

                      Great pic, nice Star Bird! You also have a Star Wars Electric Toothbrush in the foreground.

                          OK, here we go, did find one Christmas pic
                          Christmas dinner in 1979, my brother Bart and me (on the right)


                          But here are the Sinterklaas pics
                          In 1978, me on Sinterklaas' lap

                          In 1979, my brother Bart and me on Sinterklaas' lap


                          But the best pics are from 1980, a year too late for your project, but I'll share them anyway, you decide wether you want to use them or not
                          The doorbell just rang, we're looking through the window and you can tell by my brother's face he's pretty excited

                          We're looking at Sinterklaas and Black Pete and I still can't believe they're in my house. "Oh, the stories i will be telling at school tomorrow." My brother is just about peeing himself from excitement

                          Sinterklaas takes out his book to see if we've been good little boys and if we deserve presents.

                          Time enough for one last pic before they go to the next house.

                            Oh, and before this turns into a racial thing, Black Pete isn't black because he's African-American, but because of the dirt from climbing down the chimnee
