As I sat this Christmas Eve watching my 4 y/o nephew play, I tried to
remember my earliest Christmas memory.  It was at my grandparents house. 
I do not remember for sure the year, but I was probably 5 or 6. 
Ironically, I don't remember it because of what I got, but what I remember 
is that my cousin, who was a few years older, got an Evel Knievel set.  It 
had the action figure, a motorcycle, some comtraption to "launch" it with, 
and some other parts, including a backdrop that looked like a crowded
spectator stand.
 
This would have been the mid-1970s, back when Evel was still active and a
big deal!  
 
Several Christmases later, we received our first computer, a TI-99/4A that 
we spent many days that holiday break playing with.  
 
I hope my nephew remembers some of the fun he has when he grows up.
 
Mike
