1993: When I went to bed, there were only a few really small boxes under the tree for me, while my sister and brother both had one
enormous present each. I wanted a Sega CD so badly, but none of the boxes could have possibly held one, so I went to bed hoping for the best. Wound up waking up at the crack of dawn before anyone else got up, and crept to the front room. There, in the middle of the room, where one hadn't been before, was an unwrapped Sega CD with Sonic CD sitting on top of it. I just sat down and
stared at the box for hours until everyone else woke up and my dad helped me hook it up. Amazing, amazing christmas.
My brother's enormous present wound up being a giant pair of speakers (remember when speakers were like 3 feet tall) which we hooked up to the Sega CD, and my sister wound up getting a bunch of music CDs, so that Sega CD sort of became the entire family's gift. We put it in the front room next to the big TV (which also meant I got to hook my Genesis up to the big tv) and all used it together.
Second favorite:
The christmas I got a pair of Sega Scope 3D glasses and space harrier 3D.
