I have in the past, and will continue to, use toys as a revenge mechanism. Friends, relatives and brethren who do something that ticks me off during the course of the year WILL experience a toy or toys for their kids at xmas that WILL violate most of your ruleset and then some....
Yes, I have a list...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Now I don't feel so guilty!!!!
My nephew is going to love what he gets from me.
My brother's wife is going to hate it.
Payback for Michael's gift last year from her......
my sorry brother in law got him a set 2 years ago.
How about a little ole piano? Does he have one?
I had one as a child I loved to "bang" on. hehehe

I remember having a cast iron tractor... that was about it. I don't know if it's delayed envy or what - but I hate those plastic toys that make noise and flash and beep etc. LOL!

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves

I had 2 cast iron tractors and a toy gun my dad carved out of a 2x4.
I also had a metal ring that I found on the farm and a stick that I would use to hit the ring and make it role.
upon occastion I would play with an empty green bean can kicking it around the yard.....
my kids have no idea....

My wife and daughter both volunteer at the local tommy toy fund thing. Last year they gave out toys to 9,000 kids. This year is going to be interesting, record number of requests, not a record number of donors.
The program is blessed because a local guy who owns a number of properties and businesses sends people to a toy show in vegas every year where they buy thousands of toys for pennies on the dollar.
