These View-Master toys were great. You put the picture disk in and look into it and you are somewhere else in the world. Maybe this inspired kids to think big and globally.

This is a Fisher-Price pull along telephone. One could say its a kids first mobile phone.
Vintage Christmas Toy Series
Leading up to Christmas I am going to be doing a series of posts featuring pictures of the toys of my childhood and youth. I was a child in the 1970s and came of age in the 1980s so some of you will be seeing these again or for the first time. I hope you will enjoy it.
Here is the first toy!
First Sunday Of Advent #Advent #Episcopal
My church, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church observed this first Sunday of Advent this morning with my priest Fr. Quinn celebrating mass. Advent is an observance of awaiting the Christ child in the Christian tradition. A candle is lit every Sunday and on Christmas Eve before Christmas day.
Leon or Noel
My middle name is Leon and this joke is funny to me because Noel spelled backwards is Leon. You know, like the song, The First Noel.
It’s Black Friday, Happy Bargain Hunting #BlackFriday
Today is traditionally one of the busiest and most profitable days of the holiday retail season. Like Thanksgiving, Black Friday is going to look different. Not as many will be rushing to retailers, but more online buying. However, there are people who will brave the conditions of the day to get those deals. I predict that many will just stay close to home with their computers and credit cards at the ready. No matter what, safety first everyone.
No matter what you are looking for may the odds be ever in your favor. Happy deal hunting. Also just have a great Friday if you aren’t all into this stuff.
