TOP 5 CHRISTMAS GIFTS WE'VE EVER RECEIVED AS KIDS

Overview: The stupid Lexus “December to remember” campaign this year focuses on the greatest gifts people ever got (as if to imply nothing would be better than a shitty Lexus). Thus, our motivation for this week’s holiday-themed gift.

Criteria: We have to have actually received the gift, and it has to be one of our fondest memories of a Christmas gift of years past. It also has to have occurred while we kids (no fair naming “adult” gifts like a “Christmas Eve BJ.”

Rob's Notes: Unlike Arnie, I actually got things I asked for and wanted at the holidays and all year round. I wasn’t exactly completely spoiled, but my parents at least loved me.

Arnie's Notes: I can't tell you how much time I spent playing the Atari that I got one year for christmas.  I think that I played that game until if finally burned out!!!!  Plus it had all the great Actavision games like Pitfall, Barstorming, and Kaboom!!!!!  THere has NEVER been a better gift for a kid.
