The Gifts Have Been Unwrapped…

Christmas is over and a new year is upon us.

As a collector, it’s always interesting to think about how times have changed since a Victorian toddler found this set of blocks under the Christmas tree.

Things aren’t necessarily better or worse as the year ends, but they definitely are different. I wonder how many of the gifts exchanged this year will last into the next century? In that respect, I guess it’s true those may have been the “good ol’ days”.
