    I got a Commodore 64 in 1985. I know that’s not going to help anyone this year, but I can’t think of a gift any other year that had me more excited. My kids are getting a switch and I hope they’re as excited as I was.

    Best I’ve given would be a Chromecast - it was $30 and my sister uses it daily, years later. I can’t think of a better return on dollar spent gift for usefulness.

      The PS4 I got half of for my youngest (we split the cost because otherwise their gift would have been too expensive compared to the rest of the kids) has gotten so much use, so much love. Sure your kids will love the Switch.

    In 1988, my wife cut her knee-length hair to pay for a chain for my heirloom pocket watch. I sold the pocket watch and bought some expensive ivory combs for her long hair. It was a disappointing Christmas until we realized the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

        Okay

        If upvoting the same old joke for the thousandth time is your idea of fun, you know where Reddit is.

        I will. When you come up with a better reply. Haters… smh
