[QUOTE="BossMaroni, post: 196351, member: 5200"] I'm not sure if I have an absolute FAVORITE Christmas memory, as I have many. To respond to the two points: 1. As cool as Christmas is when you're a kid (and YES I remember getting many awesome things over the years), having my own son and seeing his face as he opens his presents is beyond compare. Sometimes, the smaller or simpler then item, the better. Several years ago, before I got divorced, we got my son a small Spider-Man flip chair kinda thing. More like a child-sized loveseat, actually. We actually got divorced a month after Christmas. When I moved out, that hair came with me and it was big enough that he used it as a bed for MONTHS until I could afford to get him a bed for my new place. (He lives with his mom - I get him on weekends). After I got the new bed, he refused to sleep in it for quite a while. He said he'd rather sleep on his Spidey seat because he loved it so much. Now, several years later, he frequently plops it onto the floor in front of the couch when we're watching movies or TV, or when we're playing PS2 games together. Occasionally, he'll fall asleep right there. I'll roll him around until I can get it flipped out, then just grab a blanket and he's good. More memories later... 2. For Christmas this year, I just want the same old things. I'm a film freak, so dvds are always good (I have well over 1000). I'm also a huge Star Wars, Lego & Batman geek. I still have my Lego collection from when I was a kid and I've added a LOT to it over the years (I have a couple hundred thousand pieces). My son and I spend more time playing with "our" Legos than we spend doing just about anything else. So I hope to get a few Lego sets for the two of us. (Though he'll probably get more sets than I get, the little punk). [/QUOTE]
