What was your best/favorite Christmas gift when you were a kid?

The one that stands out for me was when I got Omega Supreme. I had a huge mid-80's transformers collection, and Omega Supreme was the creme de la creme.

In retrospect, I must have had a shitty childhood because look at that piece of shit. Yet, I was the envy of all of my classmates for awhile.

My favorite Christmas gift was receiving a phone call from "Santa and his Elves" every Christmas Eve. It was actually my grandparents + prolly a case of Miller Lite + half a fifth of potato vodka + some props (hammer, pots and pans, electric drill, jingle bells and other shit) to make a hell of a racket in the background while Santa was on the phone with you.... It was awesome, even after we finally figured out it was FAKE!

I honestly can't think of a single toy/game/physical present that stands out in my childhood, though I know we were all showered with a fuckton of them when we were lil fella's.

This is one of the first gifts I remember getting. Pretty sure i pretended it was a superhero dog

This was one of the best, can't find a sweet 90s commercial for it though...

When I was about 7 I got one of these - still have it in my parent's basement.

I had one of these. probably a few years later. I was fucking awesome at it. Barry Sanders in a digital line. I remember playing it while shopping with mom and sis in 12 Oaks mall in the mid/late 80's.

I wasn't necessarily a kid but when I got that Xbox 360 and the NBA 2k game with Shaq on it I was on top of the fuckin world. Oh, also, when I got a red ryder bb gun. And a paintball gun.

A model kit of the USS Hornet with the bombers from the Doolittle raid on the flight deck. I loved putting together models as a kid. Shit, I still do from time to time.

Funny, seems I may have seen some incriminating Christmas morning home videos of an afro-headed young brat bitching to their parents about not getting them the proper accessories to go with their brand new Castle Grayskull......not naming any names.

For once your memory has failed you. Santa got me the wrong elbow pads. I specifically asked his fat ass for velcro. .. he got me elastic.

Can't remember anything in particular but always got great stuff from my parents at Christmas, God bless them.

My boys were 10 and 8 the Christmas after kitten gave me the divorce papers and we were still living together with all four kids. Always agreed with her about keeping TV time to a minimum but I was plenty pissed off that Christmas.

The boys almost shit themselves when they opened the Xbox (with Halo) I hid behind the tree. Looked at kitten and she was already looking at me. She was seething. The moment was priceless

You must have missed the story on the old pre-247 board. Classic stay-at-home-mommy, ungrateful cheating bitch. Had the papers delivered on a rare Saturday morning I had off, which happened to be our 17th wedding anniversary. Was sleeping when she came in to the room at 8am and announced in a sing-song voice, "They're here!". Walked to the front door in a t-shirt and boxers to receive the papers from a process server.

Sort of gives me a headache recalling. She's referred to as 'cunten' by one of my best friends

HO scale race car set in 1970. Buddy of mine got a bigger one, but mine worked better. Cat used to play knocking the cars off the track. Hilarious stuff.

Every Xmas since then has sucked.

My dad was going to watch me for a weekend when I was 10. My mom wanted to rent us a Nintendo 64 and some games. She went to Blockbuster in Portage, but they were all taken. The clerk told her that Toys R Us across the street was literally having a drawing within the hour for one.

She went in, and waited 20 minutes. They called her name and she got the info. This was about 2 months before Christmas, they would hold it for her.

About a month before Christmas, we were at Crossroads mall. I was playing the demo N64 at Sears, and was so happy. I told her I was wishing for one for Christmas big time. She saw how excited I was to play it, and told me we were leaving. I didn't do anything wrong, so I was wondering what's up.

We go into TRU and she tells me she won something for me. It was the N64 with two controllers, Super Mario 64 and Wave Race 64. I was speechless. I think I gave her so many hugs that day. What was your best/favorite Christmas gift when you were a kid? 502811600

We went home and I played that shit for a long time non-stop. Still my favorite console ever.

Got it when I was 7. Wore it out in 2 years and my folks smehow found one for next Christmas.
Roll forward 30 years (very early Amazon), my wife and I drove to some sports store in Livonia to get a Stiga that my boy still has. Only had to buy two replacement bars for the wings.

Old school but the EA stuff doesn't produce as many week long tournaments and angry friends as table hockey.

I remember one year, must have been late 80's, I was randomly shopping with my mom on a Saturday in probably November. I was I think in 6th grade. We were at Montgomery Ward in Wonderland Mall. I wandered into the toy section and what in the motherfuck - the lady is putting out new Nintendo (original NES) games that weren't rumored to come out for another 3 months. Legend of Zelda II (gold cartridge) and Super Mario Brothers 2. Not even joking this was 6 months before anyone else had them. I have no idea how or why MW got them on that day.

Mom was kind enough to scoop them both for me and hold them until Christmas morning. That was a fun Christmas.

Naturally a few months later after we had already beaten it my sister took Mario 2 to school to let someone borrow it and they "lost" it.
