Christmas 2016: 16 Page Kenner Fun Catalog

Merry Christmas, Groove-ophiles! We're going to be celebrating the holidays this week by trucking down memory lane (how unusual for the Diversions, huh?) to look back to a time when the Holidays was a truly magical time--'cause we were kids!

Good Ol' Gold Key, in October 1972, published the "16 Page Kenner Fun Catalog" in their mags. Plenty of time for us to see what we'd want for Christmas. Plenty of time to come up with a plan to convince our parents that we wanted, nay, NEEDED cool stuff like SSP racers (more, more!), Spirograph, Chip Away, and all the rest (yeah, I ate the cakes my sister made from her Easy Bake Oven). See why comics were so important to us? They even helped us prepare our Christmas lists!
