<\/span>
\nThis past summer, my family sold the home that belonged to my grandparents, a place I spent some very happy Christmases in. I even wrote a blog post about it back in the fall.<\/span>
\n
While it was obviously a sad time, it also had it’s bright spots. One of them was discovering the woman kept everything I ever drew or wrote in her home<\/i><\/u>. It was a really warm feeling to be honest.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nSeeing as it’s Christmas, I thought I’d share my  wishlist from I’m guessing 1981. Every year I’d cut out pictures from catalogs and present it to her so she’d know what I’m on about. I had posted one from 1979<\/a>  but  I totally forgot about this one.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nAs you can see Star Wars<\/b> was my big thing that year. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nSmurfs<\/b>? That was total peer pressure, every kid in my class was into them that year and I felt kind of like the odd man out for not having any on my desk.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI did get the At-At from my folks (and it was EPIC!) but I’m not sure I got any of the other stuff, I certainly didn’t get any Smurfs.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nFond memories like this is why I started this site and I really wanted to share it. Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
