In continuation with my December ‘Fro theme of Christmas Spectacle Spectacular, I bring to you a Christmas photo from around 1975 –ish.
This would be the year of the Barbie, which is funny because I was through and through a TOMBOY! Yet, I had every Barbie big item known to man, ummm, girl. But I also had a GI Joe!
Check out this little photo flashback with the Barbie Country Camper:
That there is a vintage toy today, in case you didn’t know. I do, because someone who slightly favors the brunette above has asked Santa for the exact same Country Camper.
Stay tuned to see if Santa pulls through. *wink*
Now, check out the lower portion of this photo, it’s the Barbie Friend Ship airplane:
Anyone else have either on of these during their childhood??
Unfortunately I have no photo of the 3 story Barbie dream house….remember the one with the string that pulled the elevator up and down??
I absolutely love looking at the old photos. You may not notice the other little things in the photos, but I remember being SO excited about the Smokey the Bear doll which “talked” when you pulled his chain string. ”Only you can prevent forest fires.” I remember that milkshake maker, and how the shakes tasted powdery.
I have some GREAT childhood Christmas memories. How about you?

You're bringing back the memories on this one! I had the dream house and the corvette!
Those are hilarious. I don't recall the certain ones. I had a life-size doll house in our yard - two story! :) Full of Barbies - my sisters and me. :)
Re: our Tweet talk, :) Enjoy your days off. Here's too lots of rest.
I had the corvette and several Barbie accessories.
Your pictures and post are so funny. My hubby cracked up. You brought back a ton of memories for me tonight!
That camper is hilarious! I had one in pink...in the early 90's!

I WANT MY BARBIES!!!!
I had the dream house too! With the old yellow elevator. I also had the pool and the corvette, it was silver. It was hard as all get out to put the barbie in the car her legs didn't bend back then.
I remember playing with my older cousin's Barbie camper and airplane when I would visit my family. I had the 80's version of the Barbie dream house. Great times!
you may never talk to me again ...depending on how you take this..but I must say "are you really that old or is it that you look so young today?! ;D"
Those pix look ancient?!
One of the first things I noticed was how much you and the princess look alike, and then I noticed smokey the bear! :)
NO Way.. I had that camper!! I still have it in my basement.. it isn't in very good shape, but I spent Hours and hours playing with that thing!! I did not have the friendship plane ;-(
you just brought back some great memories!
Oh good Lord. I had that camper.. sheesh.
Oh, you know I love this meme. And yes, I had the airplane. It was my favorite. My camper, a little differet from yours, paled in comparison to the airplane. Sigh. I miss those old days.
You and I both. LOVEd barbie. It was a daily. Mine was like a soap pera, I would also use my 45 record player and she would break out into Olivia Newton John song....LOL. But my barbie NEVER went for ken. It was always GI JOe. I had one too and he was ALWAYS the boyfriend.
When I was little I had several Barbies but no accessories. Now when my daughters came along, I got them a pink Jeep Cherokee (or something similar) for Barbie. It was built like a tonka truck! Also they had a pink corvette T-top for their Barbies. It may not have been official Mattel merchandise ....
