I never had one of those mats. My cousin did and he also had train sets around the christmas tree so I always associate that with christmas because that was basically the only time I ever played with that
i never had one but my chainsmoking babysitter, the mother of the neighborhood bully, had it... so i guess i also associate it with weird things as well as general nostalgia
I never had one. When I realized that those were a thing, I was already too old to really enjoy it.
