We had a Christmas dinner at our place and my aunt/uncle show up with this massive wrapped up box. I'm thinking it's some sort of awesome action figure toy set, so I was pretty damn happy (boys love their action figures, yo). We finish dinner and we all go to the tree to unwrap the presents and I'll always remember the amount of shock, excitement, and happiness that was had when I opened it to reveal this:

wow reading this story made me feel super old expect I had the same experience but with the original Nintendo..
It was xmas morning of 91-92 I think it was and my parents and sister and I were opening up gifts. I was so happy because my aunt mailed me some upper deck hockey cards and I got two Eric Lindros team Canada cards in a single pack. Gifts were done and there was one untagged box left under the tree. My parents told me to open it (I remember them saying its probably a toaster haha) well I opened it and saw it was Nintendo and I straight up went crazy. I think the surprise made it the best part and I so can't wait to have kids so I can do the same thing
