I was in heaven when I got this one Christmas in the 60's.
I think I used up those four tubes of plastic gunk by nightfall.

And powdered laundry soap boxes that has drinking glasses in them.
and jelly containers that became drinking glasses
Spidey, do you remember getting drinking glasses at the service station too?
Edit: arista and I are on the same wavelength.........LOL
And, with my dad, we always knew what we were getting for Christmas as soon as the first person opened their gifts from him -- if one person opened a watch, we all were getting watches. If someone opened up perfume, we all knew we were getting perfume (cologne for my brother.)
The thing about it, he always gave me nice perfume like my sister and mom (no kid stuff). I loved that he would get me big girl things like them.

All these things were in as I was growing up. I still have some scooby-doo jelly jar drinking glasses. How I wish I would have held on to more little treasure from then.
We had a big family tradition every christmas when i was a kid. My father and I would buy a puzzle, abig one 5000 or more pieces, and give to mother. The whole family united around it on christmas day and usually was done after the first week of january. My grandmother was there too. My father always concentrated on the sky, all these tiny variations of blue (or white-grey if it was cloudy) was what he liked most. The rest he let my mum, me and grandmother handle. There was always someone there and the conversations that took place around that big table was really cozy. The motive of the puzzle was always some painting. We did Monet and Da Vinci The Last Supper and a Bruegel with a lot of tiny figures (it was a scene from hell) among many other artists. When it was done we framed the puzzle and had a very good pic to hang on the wall. I have The Last Supper and Monet at home still.
Yes to the gas station glasses. Nana always made gramps fill up at "that" one so she could complete her set of glasses.
yes, we used to do puzzles too. Great memory Kurben!

Well, I was teaching keyboarding at the time!Hopefully you're not teaching English......
Now we're doing science demonstrations to learn motion and force and acceleration and simple machines and thingeys and whatchacallits.
Ask your students this. Tell them you have 50 thingeys and whatchacallits on a table and 49 of them fall off. What's left on the table a thingey or a whatchcallit?
Many a child had third degree burns..My brother was creepy crawler master with that machine. They were really cool.I was in heaven when I got this one Christmas in the 60's.
