My brother gave me a  $30 gift card to Sonic last week (Gift Cards are Officially my favorite gift nowadays).  The note said "This should buy ya plenty of Lemon-Berry Slushes but won't cover the dentist bill."  I first fell in love with their magical slushes 3 summers ago when I was doing play by play for a Summer Collegiate League baseball team in Mineral Wells, Tx.  Each day I would get a slush from Sonic around 3pm and then head to the ballpark to work on my game prep.  An amazing refreshing treat.

That gift got me thinking.  What were some of my favorite Christmas gifts as a kid?

1. Baseball Stars for Nintendo.  No one could beat the American Dreams with Babe R. and Henry A.

2. Penguins tickets when i was 10 or so.  Nothing beats growing up watching the greatest hockey player to ever live (Super Mario).

3.  G.I. Joe Hovercraft.   Take it on land or on water (I did both).  It can handle it all.

What are some of your most memorable Christmas gifts?  What are you looking for under the tree this year?
