What is your most favorite Christmas gift you've ever received?
For me, the most memorable, was when I was about 10 years old. We lived in Tulsa at the time. The PS2 just came out and my brother and I wanted one so badly. We had an N64, but were chomping at the bit to get a PS2. Mom and dad acted like they tried and tried and they had sold out everywhere. Drew and I were pretty upset, but understood. We went into Christmas morning thinking we didn't get one. Anyway, Christmas morning comes around and its like 5:30AM. At this point in our lives, my parents still put out presents unwrapped like Santa dropped them off. So, we roll down stairs in the pitch dark. My parents are passed out in their room across the house. I remember not being able to see jack chit, and Drew was clumsy as all get out. We make our way into the living room and I start just reaching around feeling, to see if I can feel anything. Meanwhile, Drew is over to my right and trips... BANG BOOM BOW, knocked over like 10 things including a vase on the table by the tree. That scared me to death, so I back up and step on something (Razor Scooter) which inevitably hits me in the shin. I fall too, and land on my tailbone. Drew is crying. Then my dad comes running in and yells "What the hell are yall doing!?".. flips on the lights. Drew and I could barely see through our tears. Then Drew yells "PS2!!!!!!!!". I wipe my tears away and see a PS2 with NCAA Football 2002 and Madden 2002 laying beside it. Immediately forgot about my broken tailbone and shin. I don't think Drew and I left the house the rest of Christmas break. We watched bowl games all day and night, and played NCAA 2002 between every game.
