Your favorite Christmas present that you ever recieved

[BigRedChief]

Just share.

Most valuable, meant the most as a kid, present from your kid whatever. No criteria. It's your favorite. Your qualifying criteria. For all my Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim etc friends..........just your best present will do.

If repost or Q

For me it was a bike as a kid.

loved that gun.

I had a hand-me-down from my brother. I shot up a bunch of cans, but I was a bird killing mo-fo. Mom fed them and I killed them. She got real pissed when I smoked off squirrels, so I only did that when she was gone. I also killed far to many rabbits than any normal person should. I typically couldn't kill them with one shot, so I typically needed an assist from the dog, or chase it through everywhere for another shot.

As much shit as I've killed with that thing, it's a miracle I'm not a serial killer. Wait....Maybe that gun is WHY I'm not a serial killer.

Mine was a Daisy Saddle Rifle, a .30-30 replica that I flat wore out. Seriously by the end it would barely even expel a bb, they just kinda fell out of the barrel.

I loved this game but it caused so many fights in our household because my father, my brother and I NEVER would relinquish the game to anyone else.

How about the sound it used to make with those little red blips???

Two that immediately come to mind:

The cars had little antennas, and they would go through the lap counter, which was basically a tunnel, and the antennas would trip a mechanical counter. Each car's antenna was slightly offset, so it could record laps for four cars pretty well. Anyone else remember these?

Yes, my uncle (who is four years older than me) had that. Did you put the tip of the energizer on your tongue? You'd get a little charge out of it. That's probably gonna manifest itself as a brain tumor at some point.

The GI Joe aircraft carrier is the ultimate toy. Nothing comes close.

Wanted one, never got one due to us being poor.

Which made the bike extra special.

I never owned one as a kid either, but bought one (and still have it) as an adult.

My son.

It never occurred to me to do that. I tended to follow the instruction manuals pretty closely with my toys.

Wow, time flys.

I was lost for 3 months trying to complete every possible experiment in the book then eventually broke it taking it apart to see what made it work.

I had one of those also. Loved making the alarm and rigging my bedroom door up, you know, make sure nobody went in my room while I was at school.

I had one of those too. Also had some sort of chemistry set.

Edit: Mine was actually a 65-in-1 kit. We were kind of poor.

Another present I loved was a kickass erector set.
