Here's mine....I got it 25 years ago tonight, a joint gift from my dad and my grandmother on what we would soon find out was going to be our last Christmas with my Nana, who was diagnosed with lung cancer a few days later (and never smoked a day in her life). The toy itself was awesome, and I wore it out, and I still have it in its original well-worn box somewhere in storage, and I wouldn't sell it for a million dollars.

What's yours? (And try to keep it clean folks, it's Christmas.)

I got an electric football game when I was in grammar school. Back then that was equivalent to Madden NFL or the like. I had a ton of fun playing with this against my neighborhood buddies.<div>

I got mine today. My 18 month old granddaughter has been in Blair Batson Children's Hospital for nearly a month following surgery on her head and a bout of meningitis. Even though she'll be on IV antibiotics for 2 weeks, she was well enough to go home today. That, my friends, is the best gift anyone could get.

Fiat X1/9. For the youngsters who don't remember that car, I'm including a picture of the only one I could find on the webs. The hard top came off and stored under the hood. Of course, it was already several years old when I got it, and it doesn't look nearly as cool now as it did in the late 80's, but back in the day this was a pretty sweet ride. I thought I was the absolute **** the next week at school. I also learned that a backseat is helpful for certain things, but I thought it was a good trade off. Young, dumb, and full of testosterone I was.

I got Optimus Prime when I was in second grade, so I guess that was 25 years ago today as well. I had been asking for Optimus Prime for about two years and FINALLY got it- still have it too.

My Grandmother got it for me- she is awesome!

Remington .270, 700 BDL model, left hand, wood stock with a 4.5 X 14 X 50 Leupold VXIII scope and in a SKB lockable gun travelling gun case.

I have no idea what my dad was thinking by dropping that kind of coin on Christmas. It was a few years ago. That gun has done some serious murdering.

Opened all the presents, my sister had a ton and I didn't have jack. My parents were shocked I didn't complain but we started going through the stockings and there was the key. I went ape!

stuff. Ragged out to no end but still runs. Talk about dangerous...that thing has been rolled more times than I could ever count. It's a miracle that my brain is not more like jello than it is. Rarely wore a helmet during those days but somehow survived. The Lord was definitely watching out for me. Merry Christmas to you all and may we all be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas!

Do you not mean 152"? If not, you definitely shot a moose that lost his horns while fighting another moose (therefore embedding into the horns of the first), that grew into the horns of a third moose that decided to join in the fight. The third moose was also a world record moose that went through same process mentioned previously. Chuck Norris was also the man that pondered on the idea to kill the third moose but decided it was not big enough for him, leaving you for the easy kill with your Savage Model 110 30.06 with a 24' barrel. You had to have at least a bipod on that thing, that's a lot of steel.

I destroyed my sister's Barbie RV she got the same Christmas by trying to jump it. Evel only managed to go through the middle of it on several attempts. I caught hell for it but that's the life of a daredevil.

Also got a single shot H&R .410 from my grandfather the same Christmas

But my favorite birthday present ever was a Playstation and Final Fantasy VII. I still can't believe my parents actually bought it for me (my sister and I had had to pool our Christmas money one year to buy an NES as our parents wouldn't get us one because they didn't want us playing video games).

Wait, is this the thread for worst or best gift ever?
