Your Best Christmas Present EVER

[ophiura]

So in reading about the XBOX, I've seen a few Christmas lists

Times: they have changed.
I remember going through the big Sears catalog, making up my list.
Always on it: EZ Bake oven (never got one since, uh, Santa thought he delivered one to a sibling and it was in the basement).
I have very fond memories of a year where I got construction paper, markers, and glitter. I don't know how old I was. Maybe 14.

And then, the greatest family gift: the ColecoVision.
So, how about it? Favorite presents? Favorite memories? Current wish list for comparisons?
:joy:

OOOHHHH...my favorite one I remember was my play kitchen. Must have been in first grade, and I played with that thing ALL the time. Even had a red & white checkered curtain covering a pretend window above the sink. Oh how I loved that kitchen...
And in the 5th grade, my brother & I got a trampoline. You know, the really safe kind with no net, no pads over the springs... My dad & grandpa stayed up all Christmas Eve after we went to bed to put it together in the back yard...

My two most memerable were when I was around 11, I got a parakeet, we had been watching Gremlins earlier that day so my parents made me close my eyes and my Dad said that I had three rules about my present, lol.
Then a few years later I got my first fishtank for Christmas and that was all she wrote.

I was into transformers and Gi Joe real bad when I was about eleven. I had just about everything. Then they came out with the Gi Joe battleship. A full seven feet of cool toy. I wanted it so bad. That was the only thing I asked for. Needless to say, I got it....already set up in front of the tree christmas morning. It was awesome.

So, nobody else had the little farm with 10 thousand animals?? A fence, a silo, and if you were rich a tractor (which I didn't have by the way). All day I played wih those animals. Cows, horses, pigs...
Now... I'm not sure... Nothin' really that I want.

for Chanuka one year my parents bought me a bouncy horse - like a rocking horse, only it was suspended in the air on a big metal stand and connected with springs so you could sit on it and bounce up and down and up and down and up and down and up...
Oh my g-d I miss my horsie.

Everyone I knew and loved was alive, and we knew the true meaning of Christmas!

Another totally Momish item but - when my son was a baby the doctor noticed that he had restricted arteries from the lower portion of his heart that would require sugery before his second birthday. On December 23, 2002 I took him to the cardiologist for his checkup and she looked baffeled when she watched the screen to see how the blood flow rate was going. Somehow his body in a matter of the 2 months since we saw her healed itself and he did not need surgery and his heart was working correctly.
He is my Christmas miracle and since then I have never wanted another present at Christmas again.
BUT if my husband happens to read this I wouldnt say no to a 1 carrat ring that someone mentioned above!!
