When You Were a Kid, What Did You Want For Christmas?

[m1ke_nyc]

For me it was video games and wrestling action figures.

When I was in elementary I would usually ask for action figures and video games but that changed as I got older and into sports to jerseys of my favorite players, workout gear, and sports related games. Some I got some I didn’t get.

I always wanted a video game system but through the SNES/Genesis era my parents wouldn't let us get one because they wanted us to spend time outside or some BS. When I was 9 or 10 we got a Playstation, total surprise. Going forward it was almost exclusively videogames I asked for. Before then I remember asking for different action figures.

I wanted Castle Grayskull. Santa came a couple weeks early one year, and I got Snake Mountain. I was totally jazzed and forgot about Grayskull. Think I actually got Grayskull on Christmas day, but my brother and I preferred Snake Mountain because of the microphone.

I'm old.

I remember one year I wanted the Ewok tree village and my 4 year old brother got it instead. I was mad and, like, what a waste , he doesn't even have the proper imagination to enjoy it right.

The Christmas that the great Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie came out I got the Robin Hood Sherwood Forest playset.

I didn't realize it was the exact same as the Ewok tree village until I saw the Ewok one at an antique mall about five years ago.

Well, at least you're not one to hold a grudge.

Jealous, mom would never get me Castle Greyskull no matter how much I cried.

I remember getting the Iron Horse and got KIT from Knight Rider and I was so pumped
