Did the boys get things like:
1. indestructible steel American-made Tonka trucks, tractors and fire engines?

3. a Daisy BB gun?
4. cowboy dress-up stuff?
5. Indian dress-up stuff?
6. a toy Harley-Davidson motorcycle?
7. a Lionel train?
8. a space helmet?
9. a robot?
10. a rocket ship?
11. a jet plane?
Did the girls get things like:
1. Raggedy Ann and Andy?
2. china dolls?
3. Barbie?
4. play stoves?
5. dollhouses?
6. sewing machine?
7. stuffed kitty cat?
8. Cinderella dress-up?
9. ruby slippers?
10. tea party set?
11. hope chest?
12. French telephone?
Did Santa leave a bundle of switches for naughty children?
Speaking of home towns, Lawton, Oklahoma, where I live due to personal poverty, is very depressing now at Christmas time. Very few homes are in festive lights in my neighborhood and there is virtually no holiday decor on convenience stores nor on public streets. This place, though filled with so-called Christian "churches", is gloomy and hateful of old-fashioned human fun. This town reeks of crumbling infrastructure and people who appear like homeless bums. There's a ton of new police cars around here. I can't take a walk in my neighborhood at 5 in the morning without seeing at least 5 new police cars prowling around. They can spend money on law-enforcement like there is no tomorrow. Oklahoma is a place for poor old people to come and die. I guess the "Christmas spirit" is for people with means nowadays. Material wealth makes people jolly during the season.
