I think we all still have a little kid in us, so for those memories of Christmas I thought it would be fun to post what your favorite toy was as a kid.

I used to play Pong all the time with my older brother. Winters in Wisconsin are long and cold so we played alot of Pong, Simon and other board games.

I fondly remember a Zorro outfit - a black hat, black mask, and black cape, and a plastic sword with a piece of chalk on the tip so that we could put 'Z's on everything without doing permanent damage.
