L5Larry Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 That's an easy one. My best Christmas present ever was my first 10-speed bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 1976 White Gibson Firebird that I received in 1977 at age 17 when I was the height of my Johnny Winter worship. This was my absolute favorite album back then (still is a favorite). I don't even have a photo of it. Sold it in 83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 1962, my first guitar, a Silvertone acoustic, and even though it was a finger-destroying torture device, it set me on my life-long journey of playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I think I got the coolest present I've ever recieved was in a secret Santa exchange this year. I got a Dwarfcraft Devices Great Destroyer DIY kit which was really cool because I love building pedals and I love ridiculous noisemaking oscillating fuzz. The gift also included some choice music including some Mogwai, Mr Bungle, a dope compilation, all kinds of good stuff. It was just a really cool gift.

saturn Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The one that I remember most fondly and got the most use from, was in 4th grade. A Rampar BMX bike. I practically lived on that bike for 4 or 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Now that I think of it, looking back, the best present I ever got was probably when my brother and I were really young my dad got us these little mini Honda dirtbikes. That was the coolest gift ever. I totally hurt myself on that thing all the time but it was so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP4Me Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 A Red Ryder BB Gun of course!! Nah, just kidding......best was probably the original Nintendo game system or a HUGE electric slot car race track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hmmmmm that would have to be me, Adrianne and Maureen in the backseat of my buddies car, in the parking lot of some bar in Ohio. Christmas night 1978. We were 18 and the world had endless possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidl Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 This year is right up there. My father in law (also probably my best friend) came home from the hospital yesterday, two weeks early. He had a ladder collapse from under him 3 weeks ago and broke his pelvis in 3 places. Still confined to either a bed or wheelchair but he's home. Sorry if this seems a little boring.

lespaulj45 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 50 years ago I was kind of disappointed at the Xmas presents I recieved. My parents kept trying to get me to go down in the basement to look for something....I still didnt get it. Finally I went down and saw that my Dad had somehow snuck a fully restored 1909 Brunswick leather pocket pool table into the basement all ready with REAL Georgia clay pool balls. Best Christmas ever! How my parents ever did this still amazes me-especially being the snoop I was at 14 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Tari Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I was born 5 days before Christmas. So no special Christmas. It was always grab a present from under the tree to make up my Birthday present. Most of our Christmas's were between Army Posts, So we were usually on the road, packing, or Unpacking. I guess this Christmas is So far, I've bought myself one Echo pedal,Two guitars,Three computer programs, Won a Hundred dollars at the Job Christmas Party. Received Two new cases of wine And gave my wife a thousand dollars for her own Christmas. And like every year 500.00 to the local food bank anonymously. This is the first year I bought for myself. But I want to finish my second CD, At Christmas is the best time to get the deals on what I need. So Y'all have a Merry Christmas. Me I'll be doing like every year and be watching the yard. Got to keep our Navy safe while there at home. Happy Holidays All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarHeelKid Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Best gift, hands down for me, was a 1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88 custom, 455 Rocket. I was 17. I'm 30 now and miss that bench seat and passing gear, but not the 4 miles to the gallon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonzoboy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 My favourite Christmases were the ones where I got guitars: 1. 1966 Harmony Archtone 2. 1967 Dover -MIJ Strat/Jazzmaster clone 3. 2008 Midnight Wine Tele 4. 2009 Epi G-400 Custom 5. 2010 Epi Custom Shop Firebird V Sunburst.This Christmas the Missus says she has something for me that has nothing to do with music but that I'll love just as much-I figure that must be a 6 month vacation with Susanna Hoffs or a 1973 Lancia Stratos-that's all I can think of that would even come close.

cavsrock08 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 To this day, about 4 years ago, my parents picked up Green Day's American Idiot along with the first iPod Shuffle. (The one that looked like a pregnancy test) That album means more to me now then any album since but I'm only 18. Long way to good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 We didn't have a lot when I was growing up, so I didn't get much for Christmas. My aunt and uncle got me this when I was 13 though. It introduced me to the world of Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
