When I was 16, all I wanted was a ghetto blaster with a dual cassette so I could make my own recordings on blank cassette tapes. I also wanted a CD player. I was blessed to get a ghetto blaster with the dual cassette and CD, but I got it a couple of days before Christmas. My brother, 4 years younger than me, had helped my parents pick out the ghetto blaster. The suspense and secret was driving him nuts so after supper, I think on the 23rd of December, my brother proudly carried the wrapped gift out to me at the kitchen table. Needless to say, I was over the moon. I got blank cassettes for Christmas and it did not take long for me to have them all filled with music. I still remember that my brother got teary eyed, just as I did, when I opened my gift.
The most exciting present I could ever remember getting was a chemistry set and a microscope which seemed so incredibly precious to me that I rarely took them out of the box. I was afraid I would break them. The Microscope was reasonably good quality and had lenses and slides and solution prep and scalpels and so on.
I always loved our silly and unique Christmas Eves (and traditions)… I always looked forward to Christmas Eve, all year āround. Our little family would listen to Elvisā Christmas album, have playful arguments over whether we should each open a gift that evening, and pig out on random finger foods. I cherished every moment of it.
My favorite Christmas memory is from last year. Walking down the stairs with my little girl and getting to see her face when she sees the Christmas tree and all the presents is priceless.
I got thia hello kitty pez dispenser one year. It was so unique because of the size. It was one of those giant pez dispensers with huge pez candy that goes inside. It was pink with a huge hello kitty head on top. I just loved it!
A couple of years ago, after my grandfather passed away, my aunt gifted me a pillow made of one of his shirts with a little saying on it. I cried and cried, it was so special!
One year I really wanted the Cricket Doll, I saw a commercial and I was sold. Well that year I never got it, so the next year I asked for her again and I got it!!!
When my siblings and I were younger Christmas was always hard for our parents. We didn’t have a lot of money to put food on the table and pay bill so there wasn’t much left for Christmas. I remember one year however our parents saved up and bought a trampoline as a gift for all 3 of us to share. It was the best Christmas gift ever. We had so much fun on that trampoline for years.
My mom & dad bought me and my sisters a nice play kitchen right before they divorced. I woke up the night before Christmas to find them up at 3am trying their best to put together the kitchen! I quietly went back to bed super excited! That is my most memorable Christmas gift as it was the last holiday my parents ever spent together
the best memories of christmas i have are when we all used to go to my grandparents for christmas dinner and everyone was all there together,,it was fun
My most memorable Christmas gift was the bicycle that Santa brought when I was in the fourth grade. My two younger brothers also got bicycles, so there were THREE matching bicycles in the living room on Christmas Day. This was the mid-70s, so the bikes had highrise handlebars and banana seats. Those bikes took us everywhere.
I remember being 8 and going shopping with my parents at TJ Maxx. We were not well off and there was a teddy bear I always played with there in a large bin. One day it was gone and I was so sad. It turned out my parents bought it for me and it was my favorite present ever. I still have it to this day in my 40s.
