As I write this it's Christmas Eve-Eve. That's right, two days before Christmas.
I have a lot of memories of Star Wars Christmas pasts. From 1978 through around 1983 I was always blessed with new Star Wars toys at Christmas time, be it my "Millennium Falcon Spaceship," the title given to the original Kenner release of the classic starship in 1978, my "Death Star Spacestation", or the Christmas of 1980 when I received my Kenner AT-AT. Those all hold fond memories of my childhood that I still think about to this day!
Steve Sansweet, collector extraordinaire, recently made a blog post of his own talking about all of the great Christmas/holiday collectibles that have come out in recent times and I would like to share that with you now....

With that, I wish everyone the happiest of holidays, and May The Force Be With You!!
See you next time!
