What would you say is the best Christmas present you ever got? That one special gift you will always treasure? 
As for me, I'm really not sure. However, the TV that I got years ago is high on that list.

I received a book on London for Christmas when I was 13. My mum gave it to me and I still have it. That was my best Christmas.

I got a really nice air rifle when I was 21. It's the equivalent of a .22 rifle, but I asked for a air rifle over the real thing because I have problems with depression and don't need a real gun in my home. It's really nice in weight as it feels about as heavy as a rifle should. It's really sturdy, and I got to shoot fruit off of trees in my backyard when I lived in a house . It was really fun. I like to pretend I'm some sort of marksmen... although I'm not that bad of a shot... I could be lots better. It shot pellets and not BBs so it was pretty accurate at medium range. I never figured out how to install the scope thing so that's why I say medium range. It's hard to take long shots with iron sights 
I can't use it now though . I've got no back yard (Apartment living) and I'm sure it would get me in trouble if I shot it on the street as it looks like a full blown real rifle 
. I'm sure it wouldn't be safe to shoot anywhere where I live right now
It was very fun to have when I was able to shoot it though. It added shooting things to my list of things I could do in my imaginary world

I know for sure that I'm getting a computer scanner this Christmas, so I suppose that could be considered the best Christmas present I'm going to receive and that I will probably ever receive.

Oh yeah, I loved the Donkey Kong Country games as well! The music was outstanding, and the graphics were very advanced for their time.

When I was 5 years old, I received a cowgirl outfit with a hat, holsters and guns . I was fascinated with Calamity Jane. I wanted to be her when I grew up. I also received a doll named Janie (which had nothing to do with Calamity Jane) that became my constant companion. That was a wonderful Christmas.

A giant teddy bear that my brother gave me. I still sleep with him every day and make sure I bring him on trips. My bear comforts me and I love him

The Sega Master System I got for christmas when I was 5... it has given me many good hours of fun through the years... at least until I was 10 when it was put in a box in the attic... I found it again a few months ago and it still works.
It needed a new PSU, but apart from that it still works for the most part. It has problems detecting games though, but I suspect that the cartridge contacts need a good cleaning.
Today it stands proudly together with my C64 and PS2, and still gets used whenever I feel nostalgic
