After reading the other Christmas thread, "The Truth", I starting thinking about the first Christmas present that I remember getting as a little kid. I know I got presents well before this, but this is the first one I actually remember getting. I think I was maybe 3-4 years old.. Also thought this would be a pretty cool thread, to see the first present that everyone remembers getting..

Mine was the Fisher Price Car Garage, complete with drivers and cars.. I played with that damn thing seems like forever.. Gotta love vintage nostalgia..

I remember one Christmas in particular I think I was 9 or 10. It was at my Grandmothers and I remember the Jaguars vs Steelers checker board, Jaguars leather Jacket and inside my parents wrapped a Star Wars video game for my N64.

The first Christmas present you remember getting you were either 8 or 9? Huh

Don't remember much before that Christmas wasn't that they where horrible or anything just that Christmas had dominated my memory for decades.

The Barbie Friend Ship... Guess this was before Barbie hooked up with Ken and had to work for a living.

I was 6 when it came out, and can still remember playing the hell out of Super Mario 64. Was super stoked when I got it. Favorite present I got was probably when I was 12, got a drumset.

Man, I wish I still had it.

Can still remember being stoked about it. Took it EVERYWHERE with me.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Hell. I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday.

My brother and I each got one of those punching bags that were three or four feet tall. One was Rocky and the other was Mr T.

I remember having a MF as a kid. I just can't remember actually getting it at Christmas. Another thing I regret was taking it outside and pretending Han and Chewie were crashing and tearing it all up. So foolish!

I had 2 older brothers, and usually got hand-me-down bikes as they grew. My first new bike was a Bicentennial Edition Schwinn Stingray (bike on the left). I beat the heck out of that bike keeping up with my buddies on BMX bikes, jumping ridiculous plywood ramps, and riding the trails in the woods near where I grew up. When I was old enough, that bike became a workhorse as I did a 200 client paper route in my neighborhood. It was repainted twice, and the rims were replaced once. The banana seat was retired for a BMX seat, and it eventually had a Wald basket slapped on the front for the paper route. We eventually sold it in a garage sale. Had I kept the bike, and taken better care of it, it would be worth more than $1,000 on the collectors market today.

The best part about this bike was getting it on Christmas day. I still have a picture hanging on the wall here in my office of me and my dad, I'm sitting on the bike wearing my OJ Simpson pajamas. Yeah, good times.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Super Nintendo when I was 7. I was so excited about it. I still have it, of course. I tend to keep most Christmas presents people get me, even if I don't like it (and I loved the SNES) I probably spent more than two thousand hours with that machine.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

I actually just pulled mine out of a box last night. Contemplated selling it, but they arent worth a ton.

It was a cool gift at first, but after watching the train go around the oval track about 100 times I put it up and never played with it again.

I still have mine and all the games with it. My son and I have what we like to call "retro game night" and will bring that out and have a blast playing together!
