What was your favorite Christmas gift as a child? If you don't Celebrate Christmas what was your favorite gift as a child. Mine would have to be the etch a sketch. That was the coolest toy. I am not sure yet exactly who that toy was made for the parents or the children. I say the parents cause it was a toy that would keep children occupied for hours. I know mine sure did especially after I figured out you could color the whole screen and see the inside workings. Kept me busy for hours. This was and is still to this day my favorite gift that I have ever received.

HI atumnrose.. I cant remember any particular gift I like the most that I received when I was a child. All i can remember is being so excited every morning to see the stockings I hang outside my door if there were chocolates from Santa Claus. When I was a child my father was so strict with food, in particular sweet and junk food. I can just taste an ice cream during birthdays or special days. He really wanted us to eat vegetables and fruits all days. So during Christmas I know its the only time that I can eat and have chocolates from Santa Claus and later I found out it was just my parents who put candies and goodies inside our stockings when we're sleeping already. Oh that memory makes me smile

All these memories come rushing back to me as I close my eyes and remember getting up Christmas Morning and rushing out to see what Santa had brought. Every year we were sure to get something small. Talk about great memories. I was so sad when I found out the truth of Santa Clause.

My favorite gift was a handheld Donkey Kong video game. I was so shocked when I received it, because we didn't have a lot of money and I never got gifts like that! I played that game for so long! I still remember how happy I was when I opened it.

I remember those lol. We could not afford them either. I remember wanting the hand held football game. I never got it as a child but I did buy it as an adult and you know what it was not that much fun. lol. Must be because of the advances in video games. Well thanks so much for your response and the short walk down memory lane. Happy Mylotting.

I got a bicycle one year for Christmas that I was ecstatic over! The only problem was we lived up north and it was a few months until I could ride it! I remember being so over joyed when I woke up and saw it. That had to be the best Christmas ever.
