My most prized Christmas present was when I finally got a Cabbage Patch Kid. Back in the day when people were trampling each other to get to them.

My biggest Christmas disappointment was the year I asked my grandma for Van Halen's 1984 record and she saw the cover image and bought me an Amy Grant record instead.

TPX baseball bat. I played baseball pretty much every day there was good weather in the summer, so getting that was the best thing ever for me.

Hot Wheels - when they originally came out, back in 1968 !

Mom worked at the TG&Y in Atchison and was able to get them for my brother and I...

BTW, I didn't really ever ask for a BB gun, but Dad got me a Daisy Air Rifle. It was similar to the Red Ryder, but my BB gun wasn't called that ! Here is some trivia from the movie:

According to the Daisy Air Rifle manufacturers on the Special Edition DVD documentary on the history of the Red Ryder BB Gun, the gun did exist except for one error in the story: The gun did not have a compass and sundial as mentioned in the movie. According to the historians, writer Jean Shepard confused the Red Ryder gun with another rifle that did have those features. But because the story and screen play were scripted to have the compass and sundial, guns had to be specially made for the movie.

I always wanted an X-Wing, but ended up with a Y-Wing. I never got my Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle.
