Christmas was the best time to ask for some of the most ridiculous presents on the market. However, most of the time, we did get them because our parents were good and so we thrived on these toys and games because these are the things that defined our childhood. Here’s a list of toys that you just had to have:

1. Moon Shoes.

These were supposed to make you feel as if you were walking on the moon.

This movie made this toy a hit! We could record anything and then change the sound of it.
