For Christmas 1998 (I was 5 years old that year) the only thing I wanted was a Furby. I saved all the advertisements and taped them to my wall, I wrote several letters to Santa begging him for the Furby and only the Furby, and I made my mother take me to the mall and other stores just to stand there and stare at the Furbies. I wanted a blue one, in case they were all out, but my grandmother told me they might be all out of blue ( those things were selling nonstop at the time) so I should choose a 2nd color. I chose pink.

On Christmas morning I assume I was very excited. I opened my blue Furby under the tree. It happened to be the baby Furby kind. I was so happy, if I remember correct I did a cartwheel. But then I saw another present shaped exactly like the Fur by package and I asked my mother if it was another one. She told me, "No you haven't been good enough for that, its something boring. Go ahead and open your other presents, forget about it". So I went on and opened everything else and then when I was trying to get help getting my baby Furby out the box, my mother told me I should go ahead and open the last present, so it didn't take up room under the tree. Well when I did, it was a pink "adult"Furby!! I loved both of them, that was the best Christmas ever.

Other toys I got in the 1990s included Bop It, Mouse Trap, the Pokemon stuff and those digital pet computers you attach and had to feed. And of course the Rugrats, my favorite show at the time.

Actually in 2000, I had a white fluffy dog toy on a leash that walked when you push a button. I "convinced" my grandmother that it was an actual dog, so much to the point that she had to walk it to pick me up at school each day.

I miss lots of things from the 1990s. VCRs, cassettes, cameras you throw away and old computers.

I'm sure it was fun to be a child in the 1980s too but they sure had the best stuff I remember in the 1990s.
