What was the best holiday gift you received during childhood?

Mall madness was pretty awesome. Or hungry hungry hippos til the adults broke it. Come to think of it, my stepsister and I were so thrilled when the first Nintendo came out that my dad had to put a time limit on how much we played.

I don't know what it says about me or how I spent my childhood but my favorite gift was a heavy duty ice/heating pack for my shoulder. (I am literally shaking my head as I type this...)

Hands down the G.I. Joe aircraft carrier. 5 feet of plastic awesomeness, especially when you're 5 years old.

my uncle made me a doll house when i was about 5. i was never really a 'doll' kind of girl, but i loved it.

Have to echo the G.I. Joe one, except mine was the F-14 Tomcast. When you're 10 and a boy, pretending to firebomb innocent villagers in a far-away country with a plastic plane is pretty much the best thing ever.
