Here’s hoping you get everything you want this holiday season.

  1. Your typical toy gets ten minutes of attention. Wrapping paper, packing tissue and the box … hours. A neighbor’s father worked at a a shipping company. He would bring hole the best toys ever … really big boxes.

    Their back yard was a favorite place for all the neighborhood kids. They would spend hours stacking, playing in and modifying refrigerator boxes.

  3. Ahh, I remember those days from two decades ago when my daughters were little. We’d stay up late the night before trying to decipher inscrutable instructions written by someone whose native language was obviously not English about how to put together some complex toy….and then the box would be the big hit!

    No boxes this year–everything fit in their (oversized) stockings.

    They are currently sitting side by side on the sofa deeply engaged in their favorite presents.

    Older one has her head buried in Martin Gardner’s latest book, “When You Were a Tadpole and I Was a Fish.”

    Younger one is reading “How to teach your dog physics”–and giggling a lot!

    I imagine they’ll trade at some point.
