The holiday season is usually when we reflect back on the year and think about everything we experienced. It’s also a time when we think back to our childhood and remember that magical time at Christmas and the special gifts we received. In this video we will have a look back at the top Christmas toys from the 1960s & 1970s!

  1. Did anyone other than me order one of those plastic Frankenstein's monster posters from a comic book? Seven feet tall..put it on my door and his eyes glowed in the dark. He protected me from monsters. Lol.

  2. I had the missile submarine that fired those plastic missiles. Still have both my eyes…My other favorites: LEGO, Lincoln Logs, my microscope and chemistry set, Mr. Machine, a Screaming Mee Mee (cooler, more sci-fi competitor to Johnny Seven), Dr. Nim, my slot car set, and that Bozo The Clown punching bag (the reason we didn't have school shootings back then?), and my bag of marbles. I was a marble assassin!
    EDIT: Forgot all about View-Master!…and Show and Tell.

  3. I wonder how well a Pet Rock would sell now days with how stupid kids and parents are now days. What no Lawn Darts. Those were always a blast till it went thru someone foot or if they were unlucky their head.

  4. My sister got the easy bake oven!!!! One of my and my sister's favorite toys was the Crissy and Velvet dolls. We lost them along our lifetime. Then I found them on ebay a few years ago. I bought them and gave Crissy to her for Christmas. SHE CRIED!!!!! We love sharing memories of our childhood and the things we used to have.

  5. Poor stretch Armstrong, mine finally met with a messy, corn-syrupy death at the hands of my buddy, me and our tug o war in the back yard πŸŽ‰πŸ˜‚πŸ˜’

  6. Watched my Dad grab that noisy, aggravating telephone toy from my little sister and smash it into the kitchen wall…..bad noisy toy.πŸ˜‚

  7. I remember the Lincoln logs, light brite, yard game called jarts, the toy phone that had a button when you mashed the button it would talk, the super star Barbie doll, kelly barbie doll and Skipper Barbie doll, twister, the eye witness news game , mad mad world game, and whos it

  8. Anything can be a weapon. We survived. Too many rules and restrictions today. The really made the last few generations weak and scared.

  9. I remember getting marble jewelry kit for Christmas one year – came with marbles that you dropped in boiling water and they would crack inside and light refracted off them. You got earring holders, ring, necklace and you'd glue the marble in them to make jewelry

  10. I loved my Troll doll – 1963 or 1964 – kid down the street was selling them for his parents store – my Daddy gave me money to buy one, I bought one with black hair – I use to wash the hair and put a roller in it – I still have that thing 60 years later

  11. I remember getting a lot of this stuff for Christmas when I was a kid in the 90s and loving it πŸ˜‚ operation, light bright, and no I had an Etch-a-Sketch… I never had a stretch Armstrong but I remember playing with one once with my cousin during a wedding… And of course I had an easy bake oven❀😌and Simon oooh Simon❀ sometimes I really miss those days

  12. No ! No!! That's it !; Video ended I was enjoying that . Disappointed the lost candies videos didn't mention was box Candy cigarettes that when you blow into cigarette life size puff of powder sugar. I'm sueing cigarette company for making myself addicted to cigarettes at 11 year old kid candy smokes.

  13. Great video! Thank you!! I had to laugh, remembering that vibrating football game where the players mostly spun around in circles. Great times though!

  14. Hungry Hungry Hippos, Chutes and Ladders, Up and Down Cowhand, Hi Ho Cherry O, Sorry!, Boggle, Life, etc…. 😁😁😁😁😁😁

  15. My brother πŸ‘¨ accidentally hurt 😞 himself with Clackers (or nunchucks) many πŸ‘¨ years ago. It’s the same injury as a man πŸ‘¨ faces, falling the wrong πŸ˜‘ way on a bicycle 🚲 (Ouch!!). I’ve even heard of Hot πŸ₯΅ Wheels πŸ›ž cars πŸš— that you get to crush 😻, if they get ruined 😠 during play. I also think πŸ€” I had some Weebles as a kid πŸ‘¦. If so, it was sometime around 1975. Your friend, Jeff.

  16. Anyone remember, Mr. Merlin? My late brother had the Long Ranger action figures and horses. Also, the Six Million Dollar Man, Evel Knievel, and his Tonka trucks.

  17. All the toys mentioned from the say 30`s to 70`s why isn`t Lionel trains ever mentioned? Or Marx? Who didn`t kind of want a train to run around the X-Mas tree? Lionel showed up in A Christmas Story and Leave it to Beaver to name a couple. Lionel even made a girls set. Not popular?
