One thing I have come to realize is the fact I like to buy myself the same type of presents as when I was a kid! I usually treat myself to the current year's Tiger Woods Golf. 20 years ago it was Jack Nickaluas Golf. And don't get me started on the HotWheel wall at Wal Mart. I make no excuse; I still love to buy a good ol' die cast metal Hotwheel. I may not sit in the dirt and play with them like I did 35 years ago. But I still will take them out of the package, pop a cold beer, and roll it across the hard wood floor.
I guess there will always be a part, maybe a larger part of me that will always be age 7-16! And I would not have it any other way. Merry Christmas to all.......And especially to you dad. Not since 2006 but some day again!
I have a few die cast that I pull out and play with at Christmas. My favorites are the '57 Chevy and the '53 pickup. We had tons of 'em growing up and would use large sheets of poster paper to create little towns using paint and crayons. What fun to remember! Thanks!
