TogginBob Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 And my wife spends half of that 8 Billion each year. Thanks Fred MickAff 1 If you're talking to me, do it in ENGLISH.

Mummichog Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 First Christmas since the wife died. Last Christmas was the first Christmas since she walked out on our family. Gonna be a little rough for us this year. On the bright side, I have a new girlfriend, so there is some looking forward to Christmas now. Just a little sad for the kids. We will start new traditions.

DoorGunner Posted November 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 40 Days till CHRISTMAS. Did you know? In 1911 as Alfred Carlton Gilbert rode the train from New Haven to New York City he noticed something. Sections of track were being converted to service electrical powered trains from the old steam engines. Gilbert watched as steel girders were erected to carry the power lines. This inspired Gilbert to work on a new toy idea and by 1913 he introduced his Erector Set to the American public. It quickly became the fastest selling construction toy in the United States because it was the only one that came with a small electric motor. robtf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TogginBob Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Another good toy. All boys should have had the opportunity to play with one. Oh, and a few girls too.

DoorGunner Posted November 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 39 Days till CHRISTMAS. Did you know? Kutol was first manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1930 and marketed as a wallpaper cleaner. The product was reworked and marketed to schools in Cincinnati as Play-Doh in the mid 1950's and was demonstrated at an educational convention in 1956. The rest is history.

I just stopped taking it down. When anybody asks I reply that "It's ALWAYS Christmas at my house ..". "You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end -- which you can never afford to loose -- with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be .."

TogginBob Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 PLAY-DOH, another great invention. And yes, girls like it too. Thanks Fred If you're talking to me, do it in ENGLISH.

DoorGunner Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 38 Days till CHRISTMAS. Did you know? Advent dates back to the 4th century and Advent Calendars to the early 1900's. President Dwight D. Eisenhower is credited for the proliferation of the Advent Calendar tradition here in the United States. During his presidency he was photographed opening an Advent Calendar with his grandchildren and that photo ran in all the national newspapers.

DoorGunner Posted November 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) 37 Days till CHRISTMAS. Did you know? Animal Biscuit Crackers were made and distributed by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) in 1902. Animal Crackers officially became known as "Barnum's Animals" and evoked the familiar circus theme of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Later in 1902 Nabisco came up with an innovative idea of putting a string on the box so it could be hung on the Christmas Tree.
