Default Memorable Christmas
Hey guys, tis the season. How about some of your most memorable Christmases. Something that sticks in your mind from days gone by or recent.
One of my most memorable Christmas was back in 1967. We always gathered at my grandparents Christmas eve. There was seven of us grandchildren, three boys and four girls.
Well this year my cousin Wayne got a pedal tractor, and Tim a peddle car, and I got a riding horse I was so mad, they were riding around the house and I was stuck in the one spot... At the time it was the worst Christmas in my long life of five years. But now wish it could be lived all over again...
Yup, that's me in the back on the horse

i know how you feel Todd, we'd gather at my grandmothers and id watch my cousins open cool toys and i always got socks or some b.s like that. i dont have any Christmas memories that stand out but i remember when i was younger and the family still talked to each other it was always a good time when we all got together, now the best part of Christmas is watching my son open his presents.

We don't get together with anyone from back then anymore either, no one get's along. Others went off their own way, and most of the "older" folks from then are now gone.
I've got a lot of memories from when I was young, most very good. But this one has remained on the top. Nancy (wife) tells me all the time, are you ever going to leave that go and forget about it? NO!

This was one of the best Christmases I've ever had. Mom and Dad got me a pedal tractor at age 5 (I think). I can still remember seeing the irregular shaped package under the tree and opening it up to finding this



A 86 series IH.

My brothers and sister helped me wear it out.



In the winter of 09 (?) I dug it out of the barn and set work on restoring it. New paint, decals, seat, steering wheel, wheels, etc.





I'm proud of the job I did on it and I'm still glad I've got it. I got the parts from C. Burkholder in Onsted MI. (may he and his wife rest in peace.)

Ok that's the coolest gift ever.

P.s why did everybody have the same furniture back then?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
