Best Christmas Present...
|
|
As a counter-point to the worst thread, what were some of the best things you ever got for Christmas?
When I was 11, my Dad and Step Mom got me a bow and arrow, a BB gun and a dart board. At the time, I don't think you could have given me ANYTHING that I would have thought was cooler.

Best x-mas gift was from last year. My wife bought a REALLY nice full set of Calphalon cookware. Or there is the "Yes you can buy this but it counts towards christmas" G.P. Small tent.

When I was 7 I got a Green Machine. That was the coolest thing ever... well to a 7 year old anyway. Then a few years later I got an Atari 2600 with Space Invaders, Missle Command and Asteroids.
Atari kicked Intellivision's arse.

I think when I was 7 or something my parents got me the MASK battlestation rock thingy. They didn't even wrap it, they just put a huge bow on it because I had been asking for it and hounding them for about half the year.
A couple years later I received one of those huge day-long to put together Lego projects. Those were the happiest Christmases I remember.

They were hoping that you were going to hurt yourself, weren't they? "He'll shoot his eye out!! YES!!!"

Trust me - I was EXTREMELY careful. I knew that if I did anything even SLIGHTLY questionable with one of them, they were going to be gone - ALL of them.

Hellllooooo?????? Duh! About a dozen years ago SWMBO got me my starter kit. That's #1!
But SWMBO has always gotten me cool stuff for birthdays and Christmas. In the past she has gotten me:
Flying lessons
A 1-hour ride on the Aluminum Overcast (that's the B-17 owned by the EAA)
A visit to Cooperstown
Packer Tickets
Brewer 10-Pack season tickets
That's just a few. I think I'll keep her

A couple of years back my girlfriend, now fiance, got me a blown up poster of the Sports Illustrated with Sandberg on the cover that was signed by the man himself.
