What's the best Christmas/Hannukah present that you ever got?

Since I was the biggest tomboy ever, my best had to be "The Green Machine". I'd get all hopped up when the commercial came on. :hyper:

Next was a race car track, they pretty much tie for best gift really. I of course tore that ****er up dismantling it trying to figure out how it worked. :O
 
I'm getting you a woman for Christmas. That's a gift you'll ALWAYS remember. :yay:

A mail order bride?Yes,that is fun.

As for me,i would have to say when i got 10 sweaters,10 pairs of pants,and 3 hats.Those were great christmas presents.

...and why is Hannukah in this discussion?
 
I don't know what my best present was...but the worst was probably a bike. A bike that said “Some assembly required.”

I was ecstatic when I first saw it...what 6 or 7 (I forget) year old wouldn't be? Then my pops decided to crack it open and start putting the bike together. Now, I'm 6 (or 7)...what the hell do I know about putting a bike together...yet I'm recruited to "help my father" as my moms put it. So the assembly conversation was pretty much,


“Hand me the screwdriver.”

“You mean this?”

“No. That’s a Tonka truck. The screwdriver is the long metal thing with the plastic handle.”

“You mean this?”

“No. That's your mom's curling iron. Never mind! (yelling now) Go get Mommy for me because she might have idea of what a screwdriver is! I NEED LIQUOR!"

:cmad:

I would've settled for a giftcard.

That's a tonka truck.

a plane ticket home after years of no contact with my family
 

all those years of feeling like I could never please my parents...and my siblings excelling...some not so much...I moved away, and out on my own...never asked for money or for help...i learned that my brothers and sisters were coming back home from college and couldn't find a job or place to live and were still just back at home...i got the ticket in the mail...it basically told me that they cared and that they were proud of me...I reconnected with my family and have never felt closer. Its like...some of them believed you had to graduate highschool...then go to college...then get a career and then get married and have kids and get a dog and a house...and so on...they all lost sight of things somewhere down the line and realized we just have to choose our own path and most admired me for doing so rather than frowning upon me.
