Something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. Of course, we always throw in a couple other small gifts from their wish lists. My favorite Christmas present from childhood was the original Nintendo. I recall wanting it so badly. We do the same and then some smaller stocking fillers.

Nextmanup Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 I was very happy to get the Coleco "Adam" computer one year. It took a sort of "audio cassette tape" thing as a data carrier, no floppy disk drives..and it had some very good games on it for that time period.

Found an original Nintendo too, with a box full of games. Didn’t set them up yet but I am planning to when I get a chance and have some free time. 1

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 21, 2018 Author Posted December 21, 2018 Sorry if this comes across as a bit of a LAMP posting--but I had to share with all of you one of the all-time best gag gifts I have ever received, just this morning (I also realize this is not part of the kid friendly theme of the original posting :)), if you're a fan of the movie "Anchorman" you'll totally understand why I had to post this:

I always had fond memories of that arena even though I suppose it wasn’t considered modern even for that era. Nothing beats the feeling of walking in seeing the court for the first time 1
