I’ve got an interesting video here for you to watch from Rhetty for History, which compiles and offers details on the top most popular Christmas toys that were introduced in the 1960s and 1970s. The list of toys includes LEGO, Etch-a-Sketch, Lite-Brite, Pet Rocks, Hot Wheels, skateboards, GI Joe, NERF, Stretch Armstrong, Atari, Star Wars action figures, and more.

It’s pretty cool to see how several of these brands have thrived over the years. The video came with the following note:

The holiday season is usually when we reflect back on the year and think about everything we experienced. It’s also a time when we think back to our childhood and remember that magical time at Christmas and the special gifts we received

What are some of your favorite toys that were mentioned in the video?
