Merry Christmas! Whajaget?

I got a space rifle,

and an Aurora Thunderjet slot car set, and Mom and Dad got a new Polaroid camera....

Well, that was a few years ago, but it was still a great Christmas!

If I could reclaim one thing from this photo from 1967, it would be, the hair on the top of my head!  But that slot car set comes in a close second.

This year was good, I got some wood chisels, they'll be good for detail work on the tiki stump carving project, and the family got a Mac Mini, which I'm using right now for this post.

I hope everyone is having a good last week of 2010.  I see this blog has surpassed the 100 follower mark, and for that I'm also thankful!  I'm plotting another giveaway, watch for that announcement in the coming days.

Merry Christmas!

    Ohhhhhhhh, I so wish Santa gave me a space rifle. I was a deprived child like most kids and got new underwear instead :P

  2. Haha, did you have a plaid lunchbox too?, poor thing. The good thing about being an adult and having the internet is, you can usually hunt down that long lost or never received gem. I wish I could remember details about this rifle, I've tried looking it up but so far nothing. I think it had a small pistol that fit into the hand grip, but I may be mixing that up with something else. I wish I had a photo of me with the Ideal Batman Utility Belt I had, I've pieced together parts of that set. I'll do a post on the bat belt sometime soon. Merry Christmas!
