Favorite Holiday Gaming Memories

One year, can't remember exactly which one, I reallly wanted an N64. So on Christmas morning, I'm opening my presents, hoping one of them is an N64. We get through all of the presents, no N64. I start to walk out of the room, sad. Then my dad says: "Look at that! Another few presents behind the tree!"

I opened them and sure enough, there was my N64, with Super Smash Brothers and Lego Racing :)

Ah...the memories...

Then there was two years ago. I really wanted a Wii, but my parents couldn't find one anywhere. So they got me a gift card for 250 dollars. One morning, maybe a month later, my sister comes in and is saying "Best Buy has some Wiis!"

So we leave for Best Buy, I'm really excited to finally get my Wii. We get there, theres like no line, go in, grab the Wii, go to pay...and they say we needed to be there at 6 to get tickets. So I didn't get my Wii. :(

I was crushed, I was so close, and now I was going to have to wait for a while longer to get it.

Then, later that day, I was in the bathroom. Sitting on the can, I hear someone knock on the door. The door opened and my grandma walked in and put this big bag on my lap AS I WAS USING THE TOILET. I had no clue what was in it. I looked in, and there was a Wii. I was so surprised. Turns out that they were returning a gift at a nearby mall and just happened to see a GameStop that had Wiis. They got the last one. Now my Wii is almost 2 years old. :)

I can't remember Christmas of 1988 because I was 2 but without that Christmas I might not be the gamer I am today because that Christmas we got an NES.

I remember Christmas of 2001 and Christmas of 2003 because I got a Dreamcast on Christmas of 2001 then a few weeks later they discontinued it. But Christmas of 2003 I got my GCN and played Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Mario Sunshine through most of the week I had to go to Church and I also had to got to my Grandma's for Christmas.

Edit* I had the year wrong it was 2003 because I wanted the Zelda's Collectors edition but my parents didn't get it because they reserved it before the Zelda's Collectors Edition was bundled with the GCN. But it was still a great year because the GCN is still my favorite console.

Getting a Gamecube in the Christmas of 2003 bundle with The Zelda Collectors Edition and I got Need for Speed: Underground.

For the days to follow we played the hell out of NFSU. It seems like EA really put a lot of effort into this installment of the series.

The Christmas I got my Wii was funny. I opened presents from my grandparents to find we had recieved Wii games. I was thinking that they messed up but my sister got it and opened the doors to the storage beneath our tv. There was the Wii.

My gamecube was also gotten early because we were gonna leave soon after my birthday. They gave me time to playe on it before my birthday. I got grounded my first night though.

2007 - Super Mario Galaxy & Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. I received both as Christmas presents. Both amazing!tommy--F
