I think it was this wind-up tin drummer boy, 1942, I was 4.

A doll. I remember it had a bun on it's head but the hair was plastic like the doll. I couldn't find a picture of the whole doll but the head looked similar to picture from the link.
I also got a red tricycle.

You lucky people who can remember your first Christmas present! All I remember from early on was a big stocking with my name across the white part at the top. My parents made a big deal about having my name on the stocking. Me? Couldn't read/didn't care. I had that same stocking well into adulthood.

GI Joe set, original metal die cast.

A Shirley Temple doll when I was about five, in the late 50's. My aunt gave it to me, and I remember I tried feeding the doll applesauce.

Legos.
And my first dog.

One of those punching bags for toddlers. I really only remember it because every kid in my family got one around the ages of 2-4 and seeing the other kids playing with them as the years have gone by has brought up a very dim memory of the one I had. Those things are wildly fun for toddlers. Great memory.


In our basement, my parents had a beautiful rocking horse that a relative apparently gave me when I was about the same age. It's a shame I don't remember that at all. As an adult, I think what a wonderful gift. But as a kid I appreciated the dollar store punching bag a lot more. Go figure.

I can only remember back to about age 4, and we didn't get toys. "Santa" brought us things like books and pajamas.

I've no idea whether it was a Christmas or birthday present, but I do remember getting a Saucy Walker doll in the early 1950s.


When I was older I remember getting an Emenee electric organ for Christmas though. And that the fan inside it was so loud, lol
