Christmas Day circa 1955 and my first bike 
Christmas Day circa 1956.
That was the year both my brother and I received gray-plastic robots, batteries not included. They actually walked, well sort of, the eyes flashed, and they made a grinding sound. Oh how I wish I still had that robot, it might fetch a bundle on eBay!
This year for Christmas, I presented my lovely wife with a LED headlamp. Now before you say that I am whacked, understand that the office in which she works has no windows so when the power goes off, it gets pretty dark. Our wedding anniversary is also a few days before Christmas and I always give her roses; so hopefully that shows that I have some understanding of the concept of gift giving.

You're right about eBay. I wish I had held on to many things, but I will never depart from my Beatles billfold(1965) or my Munsters lunchbox (1966)!
