Thursday Thirteen

Merry Christmas to you and yours! May your day be filled with love, comfort, and joy.

It's Christmas Day! I thought I'd go back to 1973, when I would have been 10 years old, and see what I might have found under the tree. (Confession: I really don't remember what I received that particular year, but it could have been some of these.)

1. Barbie with one new outfit - or maybe just an outfit.

2. A small set of plastic farm animals (because the real ones were outside)

3. Jacks or pick‑up sticks - I had both. I was very good at Jacks back in the day.

4. View‑Master with reels

5. 64‑count Crayola box

6. Paint‑by‑number kit

7. Spirograph set

8. Nancy Drew book

9. Diary with a tiny lock

10. Craft kit (potholder loops, embroidery floss, etc.)

11. Small AM radio

12. Cassette recorder

13. Warm gloves or mittens

How about you? Any idea what you might have received when you were 10 years old?
