1950: This was a popular children's gift for Christmas

I was born on November 7th, 1950, so regretfully, I don't remember this little bit of trivia. But it was sure fun seeing it and comparing it to what children get today for Christmas. What a difference between generations! No wonder we're often world's apart from this new generation. Lo tech versus high tech. Simple versus complex. Inexpensive versus very expensive. I suppose I'm not the only baby boomer out there that feels nostalgic this Christmas. Peace.
