what christmas used to be like

When I was a kid they did not have many of the things that the kids have today. There were no cell phones. no Ipods,no rap music and no computers. So most of the things that the kids want for Christmas this year did not even exist. We looked forward to our Christmas the same as they do today,but it was a much more simple time. We had toys that were made of wood and did not have battery's,or they were jump ropes and more old fashioned toys. We played with things that seemed to come from a time that had passed. But there is HOPE,I have seen many young people this year that are buying old fashioned toys. They are for the most part the same kind of toys that we used to play with all those years ago. Thank goodness for Christmas past. May it become the Christmas of the future. Thanks for listening. Steve
