believe it or not...in the northeast (MA, RI, CT) you can still get all three of these items without looking to far. Fluff is still the bomb...those candies still taste like sugar chock and moccasins (although not as popular to wear out and about) are still the most comfortable things to wear ever

What a fun thread! *subscribing*

I saw Wooly Willie at the dollar store the other day.

There is a candy store in my town that sells retro candies, including such controversial items as candy cigarettes, etc.

They have the wax bottles etc, also:

Okay is anyone old enough to remember This Stuff?

When I was about 6 my aunt gave me a 78 record of Peter and the Wolf. I was crazy about it and played it as often and as many times in a row as opportunity allowed. I just loved the different instruments playing the different characters. Not sure 78rpm recordings of Peter and the Wolf have disappeared, you can probably get a copy on ebay or something.

But serial stories in the newspaper there really isn’t much call for that. I don’t think it’s really been that popular since Charles Dickens, but when I was a kid (which was not in the Victorian Era, I assure you), every Christmas the local paper published a different Christmas themed story broken up into daily excerpts (except Sunday) that started on December 1 and finished on Christmas eve. I don’t know if the stories were syndicated or written by a local journalist or really who wrote them or where they came from, but I loved them and couldn’t wait for the opportunity to read the day’s offering. Of course I had to wait until the adults were done pawing over the paper, which sometimes took forever…but eventually I would get to read it. It’s such a little nothing thing but I don’t know how to convey the excitement and joy this story brought me every day in the month of December for most of my childhood.

Also I remember a TV special, Amahl and the Night Visitors, I guess it was an opera or something like that and I looked forward to it every year. All the adults were across the hall in my grandmother’s apartment celebrating before midnight mass so I was able to watch what I wanted on TV. I usually watched it alone because the other kids could never make it past a couple of minutes, mostly they thought it was stupid and boring, but I loved it. It became part of my own personal and singular Christmas tradition (I was always a very self contained unit, a SCUBA without the U, SCBA, I guess.) It was only on for a few years though and I’ve never seen it again. Probably for the best because no doubt I would have tried to get other’s to watch it and that never ended well.
