This would be my favorite Christmas gift of all time. It would be like the leg lamp from a Christmas story.
So the best Christmas Present that i’ve ever received was from last year’s Christmas. I use to date this girl that i use to work with. She was working abroad in California, so she was only in LA for about 6 Months. I use to draw a lot aka do a lot of graffiti in books and i got this girl into drawing and doing graffiti into books as well. To make a long story short we promised that we would keep in touch via letters. She left and i didn’t receive a letter from her until christmas. A super unexpected gift. I thought it was super dope because she wrote me a letter, gave me some postcards along with letter, but to top it off she did a graffiti a “Piece” of my name Tony. I thought it was fucken super sick and sexy because not to many girls would do that.
My favorite christmas present was actually from last year, I was 17 years old and I had always wanted a holiday sweater so when I opened up that red knitted Christmas sweater I nearly cried, manly tears of course.
And then, I spent the rest of Christmas with my family, because what else are you to do on such a joyous day?
The best Christmas gift I ever got was probably when I was 7 and I got my first video game system. It was a Nintendo 64, and I stayed up for like 2 days straight playing Super Mario 64, trying to save Princess Peach. Man, some good times.
Why? It’s because it was my first big gift ever. Like, it was a big step for me at 7. The moment every little kid waits for.
lmao i know the perfect gift. It was the “Crossfire” back in the 90s.

Makes me wonder what happened to it lol.
My best Christmas present has to be being reunited with my dad after two years in December 1998. He had come to the US to work and provide for me and the rest of my family and we were separated for 2 years, I was only 5 years old. I remember that day very fondly. Snow started coming down, definitely a white Christmas. No material things can surpassed that.
I’d have to say my favorite Christmas present would be a Super Nintendo when I was 7, not because of the system itself, but because of the times spent with it. We had to do present exchanges early because we would be going out of town so my family’s Christmas was on a school night. My mom gave it to me and I thought it was cool while not understanding what it was. My older brother, who was in high school at the time, had acted like it wasn’t very cool to ask for. Once I got it of course, he had to test it out. Cue us setting it up in my room and him playing Super Mario World. Started around 8pm and he kept playing as I dozed off and on, until around 6am when he made it to Bowser’s Castle. I was blown away and looked up to him as a hero haha. He passed away when we grew up, making this one of my favorite memories with him. He always offered to let me try to help out even though I would lose lives and he’d have to start over, so I just let him go on without me.
Winning this Polaroid from Ms Maria whom I follow on Instagram would be a good second for favorite Christmas present
Best Christmas present was getting a puppy when I was a little kid. He was my childhood dog/bud all the way until college. He passed away while I was gone but I’ll never forget that Christmas when I first got him as a pup. I know he’s in heaven looking down with tupac and all the other cool people that walked this earth. Merry Christmas!
My favorite Christmas gift of all time was the first generation Parker Brothers Merlin that Santa brought me when I was about 12 years old. (For those of you that have no idea what a Merlin was, refer here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_%28game%29) It was basically a rudimentary handheld electronic gaming device, many generations removed from today’s handhelds. I remember it was my “must have” Christmas gift that year, having fallen prey to the barrage of children’s TV advertising during Saturday morning cartoons and such. I was so excited that Santa brought it, and I played it incessantly–getting pretty good at Mindbender. I have such a fondness for this toy that I still have it tucked away in some box somewhere–never having the willpower to get rid of it. Heck, it even still worked the last time I played with it several years ago.
Favorite gift of all time was a nintendo 64 because it was my first video game system
My favorite gift of all time was when I was around 4 when my parents got me one of those electric cars that you were able to ride in as a kid. Mine was a jeep and it was so fun to go off roading in the backyard over small hills haha.
Last year I got a Manchester City shirt, signed by all the players that won the Premier League, from my brother. It was awesome!
A LITTLE 3 MONTH OLD SIBERIAN HUSKY TIMBER WOLF PUP NAMED SNOW.
I was 12 years old, and had always wanted a dog. That Christmas morning I woke up to a puppy licking my face. Thankful for my parents for giving me my best friend
Congratulations! You’re the winner of the Shay Polaroid! Thank you for supporting iheartgirls!
My most favorite/blessed gift for Christmas has been my Sony a33 back in 2011, that camera has pushed my photography career further than I’d ever imagine. I now have my own registered business in the state of Oregon and the camera is the reason I do what I do. (portrait photography*Propaganda Photography*) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you guys!
My first cell phone. I got a motorola razr flip phone for christmas. It was favorite gift because i remember everyone i knew had a cell phone already. Just wanted to fit in back then. Cell phones get on my nerve now. Lol
My favorite christmas gift was my Nikond5100. I’ve never had a camera before, so since I got it, it has always been by my side.
Picking up my new car tomorrow. Imagine if Ms. Roberts can take a pic with me in it, now that’d be ideal.
My Favorite Christmas Present Of All Time Would Have To Be My First Car That My Older Sister Gave To me. It Was Like A “Hand Me Down” But I Didn’t Care As Long As I Could Get From Place To Place And Speed, But That First Year Of Having My Car I Managed To Get 5 Tickets And 2 Points On My License Lol But It Was All Worth It. I Love My Car, Even Named Her “Bella” But Anyways I’ve Always Wanted To Give My Sister Something In Return As Good As A First Car To A Beginning Driver So This Christmas I Got Her Something Really Special
P.S. I’m A Good Driver
Best Christmas gift as a kid well let me just say this I was a little bad ass at the age of 5 was reckless I broke many things in school I would break pencils throw them at the teacher break other students crayons I would push kids off the jungle gym lol anyways I received a Barbie at first and was kindve embarrassing after I got this Godzilla I was so happy and my evil self basically murdered Barbie with Godzilla aha
My best christmas present was when I was 7 years old and I got a ninja turtle doll (Leo). By far the greatest present an would always cherish the times I had with it. I would pretend to be a ninja turtle as well and put two sticks under my shirt on my back and start doing flips and rolls pretending to fight other ninjas. Ive had that doll until I was 9 years old when I suddenly lost it when I was at the park one time. I was so sad and cried for days. Ninja turtles was and still is to this day my favorite cartoon. I will always hold onto my childhood for as long as I can.
My favorite christmas present ever, and I’m sure it was the rest of my family’s too, was having my brother home from Iraq for good. There was nothing more I could ask for.
Best christmas present? A bucket of fried chicken
Being raised in an asian family, my parents were strict on what we ate and would not let me eat anything i wanted. Ive always loved fried chicken so it was rare for me to have it. So one year on my wish list i put a bucket of fried chicken on the list. In the end i got it! My friend caitlin thought it was funny and didnt think i was being serious but she definitely made it memorable
My favorite Christmas gift was seeing my son happy when I gave him his. Personally don’t ask for much being as I don’t celebrate the holiday, but I would never take that from him and when I got him one of those Cookie Monster toys he lit up! I guess it doesn’t really count as a gift, but hey it’s the thought that counts!
Are you kidding me??! Hands down it was the Nintendo 64 on Christmas of 1996! Never had a console made such a leap in graphics before it. The intro alone “it’s-a-me, Mario!” was epic in and of itself. Playing around and messing with Mario’s face alone was worth the game, and you hadn’t even started! To this day no other console has made such a dramatic leap. In true Mexican fashion, we had a party on the 24th and opened the thing at the strike of midnight. Santa be damned.
Best unofficial (early) Xmas present: hugging Moz onstage during the last encore song (shoplifters) on the last night of 5 shows in a row at the Wiltern (all of which i went to) back in 2004, then getting his sleeve that same night. Also got Robert Smith’s set list just a few days earlier after The Cure played Coachella.
The best Christmas gift I got was when I was a kid.. I loved dinosaurs. I got a Triceratops. And my bro got a T-Rex. It was pretty cool. So we always played them against each other. Haha.
when I was around 5 years old, I remember my parents took me with them to the grocery store, and I saw the biggest stuffed polar bear for sale. My eyes were the size of saucers. I pointed and begged for them to get it for me, and my dad pulled it off the shelf to show it to me. It sat on the ground and was taller than I was. I knew at that moment I had fallen in love with it. I NEEDED it in my life, and so began my campaign speech to them trying to convince them of it as well. But alas, it was not to be. Disappointed, I went home.
Forward to Xmas Eve… I woke up early that morning, earlier than anyone of course. I believe it was around 4 or 4:30 in the morning and pitch black out. I made my way to the living room to see what Santa had left. As I walked through the hallway I could slowly see all the presents under the tree, lit from just those blinking colored lights, and as my eyes slowly gazed from left to right, present to present, soaking in all that quiet, colored, magical ambiance, I noticed something… there in the corner, tucked in the back and peering out, was the largest stuffed polar bear head I have ever seen. My eyes were the size of saucers…and my heart 100 times that.
That night, that moment… that feeling, cemented itself indelibly in my mind ever since and is the reason why I love this time of year. I hope to do this for a child of my own someday. Merry Christmas CherBEAR

May sound cliche but whatever, I don’t have a favorite Christmas gift, just happy to have people around me who have the thoughts of giving me presents.
My favorite Christmas present of all time has to be my first guitar.
The best Christmas present I ever got was my first (300 baud!) modem. After that I could connect and find (very low res) pictures of beautiful girls. Only the speed and the resolution has changed since then.
The best Christmas gift ive ever received was a drawing set of sketch paper, pencils, pens. I got when i was 10.What made it awesome though was that it came with pages of comic book characters i could draw.I loved it i drew so many awesome things Spider-man fighting Venom, Green Goblin, Iron Man, The Avengers. I love drawing so it was the perfect gift for me.
best xmas present was a set of enkei wheels my mom got me. cuz she hated that I moded my car, but got me a $1000 set of wheels/tires anyway.
My favorite Christmas gift ever was a set of 100 sparkly and neon gel pens I got in 5th grade. I doodled all over everything, including myself and friends, for months!
Best Christmas gift was my dog Daisy back in 2000 now she is 13 years old and very happy! she’s a mutt but I don’t care I love her and my two little sisters love her wrinkly face. Best friend ever!
The best Xmas gift ever was when I received the Nintendo Entertainment System when I was around 8-9 years old. That was the first console I ever owned and before that I didn’t have any interest in video games as I had only seen my cousins play one of their Atari consoles. But that all changed when I unwrapped that large box and I’ve been a gamer ever since! So I have my dad to thank for that surprise gift since in never asked for a NES console! Best gift ever!
