December 1969 

Dear Santa, 

All I want for Christmas is a 5 speed Spyder Bike (daddy long legs), a Jaguar pedal car, Interceptor Electric Pinball, Super Bowl Electric Football, a Batman punching bag, Bam Bam punching bag, Bozo punching bag, Gi Joe Spacewalk outfit, astronaut Snoopy, a View Master with reels (Lassie, Popeye, Tarzan, Dennis the Menace), Green Ghost, Bizzy Buzz Buzz Drawing Set, Mattel's Toot Sweet & Tootsie Rolls, Change A Channel TV Set, Aurora Slot Cars, Marblehead, Snakes Alive, Time Bomb, Hands Down, Tip-It, Dynamite Shack, and Don't Spill the Beans.  That's all I want. Oh, and Rock Em Sock Em Robots please, Santa. That's really important! And a candy cane for my sister. 

Love,

Timmy

PS Santa, there will be cookies for you on the kitchen table.
