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.
