    My little slice of 70s Christmas

    Accumulated this stuff and finally put it out this year in my basement. Maybe next year my wife, Scroogette McGrincherson, will let me put it on the main floor. At least guard kitty appreciates it.

    First thought was "does santa's clothes fit a mego?"

    I love it

      Awesome Steve! I love the blow-molded stuff, and the fake fireplace is sweet.

      I had a Santa like that, and put it in my Mego display every year.

        When I was a kid, my friend Tamika had one of these fireplaces in her apartment. It was a cute place to hang stockings from if you didn't have a fireplace. Groovy set up!

          We had the cardboard fireplace when I was growing up too, and I'm very nostalgic about them.

          Does it have the little lightbulb with little silver fan that would turn from the heat put out by the bulb?

            It has the bulb and reflector foil, but no fan according to the instructions. It works, but I am not turning it on for any length of time until I find a low heat bulb that fits the socket.

                Love it, as well, Steve!

                From the picture, it all looks nice enough to be on the first floor.

                By the way, the soldier on the right looks to be in near mint condition.

                  This is sensational! I would love to find a fireplace like that. Can't believe there are other people who love blow molded light ups and melted plastic window decorations like I do!

                        Awesome...I remember those giant candles in our windows. We were lucky enough to have a real fireplace though, which is good because we had to use it for heat in the winter.
