I love this time of year…I get to play with my favorite toys!
Ryan loves my toys, too.
Before unschooling, I never would have let him play with these. Now I enjoy seeing him delight in playing with them, too.
This picture perfectly describes my situation at home. Sometimes, I’m Hermey…sometimes I’m the Bumble… 🙂

I love your pics! Buck had to school me on who was Bumble and who was Hermey though….shows my age I guess;)

Marin! I can’t believe you didn’t know that! girl, you’d better tune into to CBS and watch the Rudolph special this year!
Shows your age…HA! you’re funny…vewy, vewy funny….
Alison says
I love your toys!! I have never seen them before…where did you get them? Those are my favorite Christmas shows…
whimsigal says
Alison, they’re my favorite shows, too! Most of them were purchased at Target about 5 years ago, but you can find them on ebay. I don’t know of any stores carrying them which makes me sad because there were so many that I wasn’t able to afford to buy at the time!
Check out ebay, looking up Rudolph and Friends. The name of the company that made them is Praying Mantis I think.
Good luck! Come back and let me know if you get any!

make that Playing Mantis and Memory Lane
Madeline says
These are fantastic! We unintentionally ended up with a santa collection (gift from a friend, one that was my mom’s..) kept giving me santas. I would so prefer these guys! Have fun playing.
whimsigal says
Ooooh! I love Santas, too! We have one that my MIL gave us and he kind of looks evil, but I like him anyway. Rudolph, Santas, and Gingerbread people are my favorite holiday decorations.
If there were a way to make my house look like a Gingerbread House, I would SO do it!
Stephanie says
Mmmm, Bumble’s disposition when he had his wretched toothache – that would be me on some days!
But sometimes I’m Clarice, too.
🙂
Still waiting for the pics to load….

Sheri says
I love Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer! I have such fond childhood (and lets face it) grown up memories watching it!
whimsigal says
Steph, I can totally see you as Clarice! 🙂
Sheri, I still enjoy it so much, too. The Heatmiser is another one I love! Oh how I wish I had a Heatmiser toy!

I don’t like decorations much around here, but I might make an exception for these! I LOVE those old kids’ specials. My sister and I still make the little licking sound like YUUU-Kon Cornelius and then say, “Nuthin.” 🙂
