What was the most memorable gift you received?
I thought this might be an interesting topic as we come upon that time of the year that triggers some fond memories from the days of past. I remember getting a pair of speed skate (ice) when I was 9 or 10 years old one Christmas Day. I was so very happy and excited of getting that from the "Santa." What has been a memorable gift for you as you remember. It doesn't have to be the most expensive or the fanciest but something that you still remember this day.

When I was ~7 years old, Santa brought me a Hot Wheels track that you could manually fling the cars around (an oval) with a lever. It had banked turns and a counter for your laps.
That was super cool.

Not sure we got this at Christmas, but when I was about six, my dad constructed a whole town for our train set, on a wooden platform. He painted a lake on it and stuff. It was very, very
