When I was a bit older than that I was ordering chemical supplies from catalogs. Turned the downstairs utility sink and bar into a pretty good mad scientist lab. I still wonder about how the pipes held up after we sold that house...lots of concentrated sulfuric acid went down that drain!
Part of the fun of Christmas as second oldest of nine was being in on the whole Santa thing for the younger kids, when we were finally old enough to have otherwise become jaded ourselves.
Silver and Gold and Christmas trees...

And Bumbles Bounce!
Thanks for taking me back into the book of old memories!
