In February of 2011, Allie Townsend, of Time Magazine, wrote an article that outlined some of the most popular Christmas toys over the decades. It brought back a lot of memories of the toys I played with as a kid and the ones I've bought for my own kids. Below, I list some of those that I recall and think you might remember as well.
Not much was mentioned for the 2000+ year toys, so share and tell what you think should make that list. If you would like to see the entire list, you can find it at Time Favorite Toys.
