    What toy do you want for Christmas?

    I think it would be cool to have another "1978 Mattel Football 2" handheld football game like I did when I was 8 years old. You try to explain to your kids how spoiled they are with these electronic devices today with literally thousands of different games at their fingertips. I cut the picture out of the Sears wish book and pretended to play football on that piece of paper for weeks until that Christmas Day when I finally got the real thing! I was so excited because the 1978 version added a back button so you could back out of a tackle and put together some epic runs! My kids would crack up if they could see that game with nothing but little dashes for football players, haha!
    What do you want for Christmas?

    That's awesome!
    I think the young fella in that commercial is pretty good on the 3-wheeled Raider. He throws his weight around pretty good in the turns. Maybe still a little green...I think I noticed he started to put his foot down after coming down that big hill haha

    You can see my trusty steed in the background. We were lighting off bottle rockets that day, the older kids were my brothers friends.
