I had a “Santa Budget” so a F-P helicopter or jetliner made for excellent stretch value gifts after your Ataris, Intellivisions, BMX bikes and all.

Wishbook: Simpsons 1975
Fisher-Price is a toy company that I strongly associate with Christmas. These toys were considered "big presents" that you wouldn't receive at any other time of the year (at least, that was my experience).

Wishbook: Simpsons 1977
Bionic Man, Mego Superheroes and Stretch Armstrong. I can't say this often, but I owned a lot of the stuff on this page (minus the Dip Dots, Office Playset, Wonder Woman doll and the Batman Clock.)

Lincoln Monsters in Gouache
I've been experimenting with painting in Gouache this past month and what better subject than the Lincoln Monsters? I've learned a lot, have miles to go but am really digging this...

Until I read Cousin Eddie I completely thought that was a Richard Nixon sculpt.
