@rambo @lyxzen The best gift I ever got for Christmas was undeniably my Atari 2600. My parents went out dancing for christmas eve, and my cousin babysat me and my sister. They let up open that one gift up, and play it. Two cartridges came with it. Combat and Asteroids. I can still recall the magical feeling of playing those games, and how wonderful the graphics were on it. How much you could do! We played it till we got joystick hand. That blister on your left thumb and rubbing your skin raw in between the thumb and forefinger on your right hand. I may have fallen asleep with the joystick in my hand. Phenomenal! Asteroids is still one of my all time favorite games. The worst gift I ever got (and it actually wasn't that bad, but I tease the living shit out of my sister for it) was from my sister. I'd been doing some crafty sort of things with paint and wood, so it actually made some sense, but she bought me sandpaper. I made her feel so bad the whole day for it. All in fun, of course, but "You actually gave me sandpaper? All the ties and socks were sold out? Couldn't afford a fruit log?" Good times.

Best would be my first electric guitar or a sega mega drive.. hard one. Worst? hm.. There's probably some repressed memory somewhere in my skull somewhere.. but who dosn't love getting socks? Or ugly lamps?
