I wish I still had those two matchbox cars complete with their original boxes. Christmas memories and love of family is what it's all about at this time of year.

Just read your "Christmas Memories...Hi Dave,<br /> <br />Just read your "Christmas Memories Part 2" in which you include a picture of your own BB gun, and your assurance that you haven't yet shot your eye out. I have no idea what happened to the BB gun of my childhood (I never shot my eye out either), and so I was thrilled a few years ago to find that I could purchase virtually the same gun now. The perfect Christmas present for my 8 year old grandson Connor. Of course I first got the approval of his parents; the conversation full of joking about whether he'd shoot his eye out. Good to go, I set up a little range in the basement so he could shoot right after the opening of presents. A target mounted on a sheet of plywood mounted on a cedar wall... it seemed like a good idea at the time. Christmas day with presents opened (much excitement and more don't shoot your eye out jokes) and safety discussion complete, he loaded the gun and lined up for his first shot. Squeeze the trigger - crack, and he jumped back. The BB had struck the target near the bull's eye, but instead of imbedding in the plywood per my plan, it bounced straight back and landed in Connor's shirt pocket. A close call for both of us. <br /> <br />Always enjoy the memories in your posts, Dave. Thanks for all you do.<br /> <br />Merry Christmas to you and the family<br />Dave Canohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832352575867917038noreply@blogger.com
