When I was 5 my father surprised me by showing up on xmas eve and brought me a ton of toys and fun stuff. I cared less about the stuff, but it meant more to me just to know that he cared. When I think back on it, it reminds me that on some level, he probably still does.

1969 Ford Mustang. My dad was disabled and I was in college. Being a Ford mechanic, he realized that we needed another used car to replace our Fairlane. He also realized that I would look cooler in a Mustang.

Wow now thats what I call a memorable christmas present.

The one I remember most was the Mattel slide projector. The reason is that is the one and only time I peeked at the presents before Christmas. It's hard acting suprised when you allready know what you're gonna get.
Maybe that's why even today I don't want to know what anyone is giving me for Christmas, or my birthday. The thrill is allready gone. Now, if I can only make my wife understand that........
