As a child, what was the best Christmas present that you remember getting?

 

wow, thats a good question Andy. I had to jog my memory and think back. I would have to say when my brother and I got our Atari console. I've been hooked on games ever since Thats why I was up the other night playing Halo 3 online till 2am. I guess I'm a kid at heart and I'm sure it shows in some of my posts...lol

 

it's been that long, eh Chris?

WWwaaay, back, wwaaayy, waayyy, wwwaayyy, back Chris.

 

^Yeah, I started losing my memory when I turned 40

 

my favorite Christmas was when my Dads boss brought me to meet Jason Kidd at his house in Saddle River, NJ












































j/k all i got was a nice power rangers toy set :/

 

HAHAHA! I started loosing mine when I turned 80

 

i remember gettingg like 5 wrestlers from wwf and a wwf ring hahaha it was awesome and each of my cousins got power ranger toys and they combined into a big one, pretty cooool

 

This thread reminds me, I need to ask my kids what some of their favorite Christmas memories/moments were.

Thanks for sharing folks. Keep them coming.

 

i miss sneaking around trying to find my christmas presents lol, i still remember the one year i found my og nintendo.... aww memories . i wonder when i got my snes ? lol

 

I'm with Kris. Mine has to be the year I got an NES.

I had it down to a science. I could unwrap, play the NES, and wrap it back up in minutes. I have two brothers; I'm the oldest. The second oldest (he's been on drives with me), he caught on and wanted to get in on the action so I had to let him cause he threaten me with blackmail. The problem came when my youngest brother figured out that something was going on.

Anyhow, to make a long story short, my parents couldn't understand why we weren't thrilled to play the NES on Christmas morning. Hell, I had already passed Super Mario Bros. by then.

 

+1 on the OG NES!

 

This one is so easy for me...I was I think 8. My dad told me...right after opening presents mind you so I was of course busy playing with everything...to go get him a cup of coffee in the kitchen. I ran in there, of course all pissed off and hurrying to get back to my GI Joes, where in I found a brand new bike in the kitchen. The quote that sticks with me is when my older sister was checking it out, and she said "Wow I bet that bike flies". I to this day remember that quote and time very vividly, thinking to myself "wow...could this bike really fly???".

Cracks me up to this day thinking about it...

 

my own tv when i was like 10 lol

too many grat ones though

 

i never even beat that game yet hahhaha. I dont think i beat any mario brothers game

 

We should have a meet where all we do is drink and play video games. It would be fun will all the trash talking and stuff.
