Christmas Nostalgia/ A Few Of My Favorite Things


 Don't laugh, I have a bid on one of these right now. My grandmother  had one proudly displayed in her living room when I was no more than 6-7 and I've NEVER forgotten how cool I thought this was.  Think mini TGP with saucer eyes, mouth agape staring  trance like at the tree
                                                   
And if I win that retro classic aluminum shiny tree, I will need this
Be it Thanksgiving or Christmas, this is always on the table. It goes back to my Great Grandmother
These or clove spicy gum drops remind me of Christmas as a kid
                               
This is a CLASSIC 1971 cartoon version of A Christmas Carol. Do you remember it?
Marly's ghost is creepy even in this Richard Willams cartoon rendition. You cannot find this on DVD or VHS. Bookmark it and watch later!

I so want one! We had one when I was growing up (minus the color light wheel) and when I told my husband I wanted one he said NO WAY! Bah humbug on him.
