Dakota Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Well, I remember when I was a little squirt and living in the middle of Omaha. Dad was a youth pastor and we couldn't afford much, but I really wanted a beanbag chair and a Simba stuffed animal. Sure enough, when Dad woke me up in the wee hours of Christmas morning and we went down stairs there they were under the tree! I was either four or five and it remains to this day the best Christmas present ever...and then the dog claimed the beanbag chair...:D:D Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I remember getting my new bike when I was little. Shoot I was so pumped there was to much snow outside I think to ride it so I rode it in circles around the table or tried to. Thing was a silver Pacific I loved that bike.

Tominator Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Two stand out from my youth, but have to agree with William, the ones where your kids light up are special. I remember getting my Daisy Red Ryder BB gun when I was about 10 or 11. Christmas 1985 was good. I was still in the service, but I sold my car and had a lot of cash because I was living aboard the ship. So I flew home and spent over $1,000 on my mom dad and siblings. Had a lot of fun that year watching my family open the gifts I got them. We lost mom in March of 1986, so that was an especially poignent Christmas.

I'll alway's remember getting my Marlin 30-30 from my dad when I was about 12 years old. I still have the gun 20 years later, and killed my buck with it this year.

MCH Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 If watching my kids' eyes light up qualified as a "present", I would have to agree. But since that doesn't, I'd have to go with my first real gun. A .410 "Santa" brought me when I was 13. Still remember shooting it for the first time. Was one of the few white Christmas' I can remember as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 If watching my kids' eyes light up qualified as a "present", I would have to agree. All a matter of perspective Kevin. A gift or "present" does not have to be a material object. Christmas is about giving, the only better gift I can think of than seeing joy in my kids is the gift that God gave us all.

I'm just as thoughtful as the next person, I just don't feel the need to point it out as much as some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 12 then and 15 yrs. later i still got the gun and it still looks brand new. Now that i have a son of my own it is seeing his cute little face light up when he rips the paper off his presents.

Dakota Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 don't forget the reason for the season.... EXACTLY! Thank you for pointing that out Steve and William as well. Though we have made it a secular holiday, there would be no Christmas without the greatest gift of all born in a lowly stinky hay-filled manger in the little town of Bethlahem. Glory to Him in the highest and on Earth peace and goodwill towards Men. Although getting a Red Ryder BB gun when I was 12 was also a plus. :D:D Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Aside from my kids being happy,it would be a winchester 12 guage pump that I got when I was around 9 years old.I still have it and probably always will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Finn Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 When I was 12, I got an early present, just before the deer rifle season in November. It was my Dad's Winchester Model 94 30/30 Awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
