A.C. Gilbert is a famous toy inventor credited with 150 patents.
In 1918, he also became known as "The Man Who Saved Christmas."
However, Gilbert followed an unexpected path to receive this title.
Adults sometimes lose
sight of the real meaning of the holiday season: that being toys,
of course. Sure the quest for toys doesn't necessarily subside
as we grow older, just the types of toys we want and our methods
of obtaining them change. When we grow up, we get jobs and buy
them ourselves. But as children, we have only two recourses: our
birthdays and the holidays.
