Most memorable gift you received--

[DOGS THAT BARK]

as child on Christmas

When you hit 50 you can't remember a lot in childhood days but there are always those special ones you got the most enjoyment from.

Would have to say mine was a Daisy BB gun--
followed closely by an Erector Set.

Hmmm thought just struck me-- one might be needing "Erector Set" more once they hit 50

Ithaca Featherweight 20 gauge shotgun.

My grandfather got it for me when I was ten years old and that meant I had graduated from the 410 single shot to the 20 gauge automatic. Still use it today after 32 years.

I got a run-of-the-mill stuffed animal... a skunk that let you put your hand up into its head and squeeze a little ball to make a sound.... I have no idea why, but I VIVIDLY remember getting it. The strange thing is that it was given to me by my grandma, and she died of cancer when I was about 2 years, 7 months old. I wouldn't think I'd remember something like that, being so young. But I completely and totally remember it. I'm 26 now, and I still have it stored away at my Mom's house as a reminder.

funny someone from Bowling Green would ask this, since my answer for most *memorable* has to be a little plastic red corvette keychain from the museum.

As a child, my most memorable Christmas gift was the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle. My dad said he had to drive down to North Carolina from Baltimore to find a store that still had one in stock.

As an adult, since my son was due to arrive around Christmas, but born on New Year's Day, the answer is obvious.

I've had two favorites.... they were each the most perfect gifts at the time they were received. When I was 10, my parents gave me every little girl's dream present, a pony. Then when I was 16, they gave me my first car, a 1969 VW Karmann Ghia!

When I was 10 got a Real stand up video game. This is before Sega or anything so VERY cool. It was 10 yard fight a football game. Anyone remember that??? Man I played that thing for like 3 days straight. I still remember falling asleep in the chair in front of it.
