Each Christmas we would all beg to open one present early.
Dad was not too keen on the idea, but Mom would always cave in.
Each year the request would get earlier and earlier.
One year, Doug and I begged and won.
We got to pick the gift and asked for the heavy one that rattled.
It was an erector set and was very cool.
We spent all day building things, and then dad came home and came unglued because he knew we had opened a Christmas gift.
After the fire was put out on our singed peach fuzz, we continued to build all kinds of fun stuff.
It has a motor, batteries, wheels and all kinds of fun stuff.
