The sad thing about this article, and the related pictures, is that it was 2 years before Star Wars came out, and all of that glorious, geeky merchandise was not yet crowding the shelves. (Can you imagine?!)

Now, if someone could find pics from that year’s wish book, I may just be giddy with impish delight.

Every year, the holiday spirit is infected with competitiveness. If only it looked this awesome.

Ho. Ho. Ho.
