I appreciate the advice, but Ebay is a non option. I have had nothing but trouble with them in recent years and find their policies, practices, and fee schedules towards small sellers unreasonable. While I do have an etsy account I had not wanted to clutter it up with garage sale type items. I was briefly having luck with Letgo before they were bought out by that other company that wont let you log in through a computer. I need this pandemic to end so I can set up at a church bazaar or rummage sale or something - but may not have that time - I need to get room.

Yeah, I miss going to yard sales. Used to go out to our fairgrounds on weekends where they sold stuff.

Having grown up baking cakes from scratch I remember those very well.

I used to bake cakes from scratch when I was around 10 0r twelve. It was harder than you think and the sifter was essential. I was using surplus welfare food which meant powdered eggs, flour, and powdered milk. The only thing actually bought from the store was the sugar. My brothers used to tease me for baking cakes, but they ate the cakes more than I did.

When I was a kid, we'd go over to my mother's aunt's house for Christmas or Thanksgiving. We kids would play while the grownups talked in the house. Eventually, us kids would get on the rocking chairs on my great aunt's front porch and we'd have rocking chair races across the porch.:D

I have a boxed set of Charlie Brown holiday shows. And I have a DVD with muppets called Emmer Otter's Jugband Christmas that is really great. My niece's and nephew's kids love it. But so do I.

I liked that movie, but would never associate it with any holiday, especially not Christmas.

It's not a Christmas Christmas movie, but it takes place at Christmas in the movie. Then again, I don't consider Frosty the Snowman to be a Christmas movie either, but it comes on every Christmas.

Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key.
I think that we should get together and try them out, you see.

Late 70s after I graduated, and early 80s, I moved on to Funkytown at the local skating rink. I was doing some cleaning the other day and found this. My brother and I formed a small group with a few friends I knew from skating. We were going to enter the Christmas Parade and skate in it, but we never did.

My fav ads were:

The 'Italian' who was supposed to say the line "Mama Mia, that's a spicy meat ta ball." He goes through several takes (50 some takes). The last one is perfect but the oven door falls off and the VO says, "Let's break for lunch."

And the newly weds where she wanted to '...fix something that would still you your ribs.' His reply was along the line, "that's not where it stuck." And he has a line about: "I didn't know you could make a dumpling that big."

Remember Clara Peller, "Where's the beef?" Her last words were, "I don't think anybody's back there!"

and they cost almost $30 at Target. I think they were about $5 back then. I just checked. A classic version, with wood is about $80 on ebay.
