From Stretch Armstrong to the Easy-Bake Oven, everyone had a favorite toy as a kid. Tell us about your favorite toy on our holiday blog at PastPresentsAndTheFuture.com. While you’re there, vote for your favorite toy in our online poll. A sleigh full of the toy with the most votes will be donated to the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children as a part of our holiday toy drive.

To see some of our favorite toys from the past, scroll through the pages of the 2009 Hermes Sargent Bates Holiday Card. Choose "View File" at the bottom of the page to launch the card.

Thanks for taking a stroll with us down memory lane. We look forward to seeing you on the blog and reading about what toy rocked your world. Have a very merry holiday season!
