In terms of the best Christmas gift, I would say it'd be Final Fantasy VIII. Not necessarily because of the game (although I love it and am currently replaying it) but because of how I obtained it. I was 8 years old (in 2001) and my dad came in to my really messy room and threw a bag on the floor in November. I paid no mind until late December and in it was FF8. I was so happy but sad that I could have played that game a month earlier.
Best/Worst Christmas Gifts?
Wait... your dad threw a bag on your floor.. and you didn't think to investigate at all until a month later?
Best: Money
Worst: Not as much money as above.
I usually just get money. If It's anything else it's clothing that I need, or various junk food in my stocking. So there really isn't a best/worst scenario.
In my family birthdays and Christmas were always a time to get things that you needed, and when I was still young enough to want cheap things like VHS tapes or action figures, I got a couple of things I wanted. Now that I'm an adult I have more expensive hobbies and I don't have a rich family who can buy those things. So instead of them spending $20-$30 on action figures and VHS tapes I just get a card with $20-$30 in it. Then I add it all up and usually use it to pay off bills and maybe buy myself some cheap little thing that I normally wouldn't be able to get.
At best I get around $100-$200 in total. Nothing to go on a spending spree with, but a nice little bit of cash to buy some games, a new piece of hardware for my computer, or, as has been the case for several years now and will be this year, use it to finally pay off the last $300 I have left on my credit card! *fingers crossed* I should finally be free of that accursed credit card after 5 years of it haunting me and sucking every dam penny I try to save away from me!
So I guess I will make that my best Christmas present ever. Finally being free of credit card debt.
Best: Tickets to see Nine Inch Nails live.
Worst: An RC car that would only turn in reverse and only clockwise.
Best: A vacation to Puerto Rico, an iPod Nano and a PS3. All on the same Christmas.
Worst: A sweater my godmother brought me that had a messed up zipper which she had to return and it doesn't even fit me.
