Cheryl and David Davis, children of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Davis of Prospect, race their electric cars around the track in the toy department at Ward's in this photograph from Dec. 13, 1965. The cars were all the rage that Christmas. An article that appeared that day in the Butler Eagle said "car mania may put the biggest dent yet in Santa's Christmas budget. Prices range from $15 to $35." The article also said, "car sets may even replace the familiar railroad tracks around the Christmas tree." Other hot items that year were walkie-talkie sets, a secret agent toy called Zero M. and Barbie dolls whose legs bent. Little girls had to be careful with the dolls though; Barbie's arms hadn't undergone the same improvement. While that $15 to $35 cost threatened to empty out Santa's wallet in 1965, this year's top toys are sure to put Santa in the poor house. Topping the list, of course, is the PlayStation 3 which retails at $500. Younger children may be asking for a Ford Mustang Power Wheels, a $250 battery-operated car for children 3 and older. Some things haven't changed between 1965 and now, and one of those constants is that little girls often ask for a pony for Christmas. Well, this year they can have one for a mere $299 ... and no feeding or stables are involved. The Butterscotch My Furreal Friends Pony is three feet tall with moving eyes, ears, head and tail. Why is that so different from a normal pony you ask? This one is a robot.
