The best present for Christmas I ever received was a reel to reel tape recorder. My parents got it at Sears. It ran on two "C" batteries which were good for a only a short time and that was it.
I only wanted the tape recorder because they self-destructed on Mission: Impossible. I got some other great presents like the Strange Change Machine, a radio, microscope, trainset, electric race set, etc. My parents always came through.
Thank goodness I don't have any kids because there is no way I am buying a kid an iPod so they can blow their ears out. There's no way my kid would be getting a video game console. My kid (and their name, boy or girl would be Lee, and that is short for nothing) would get a library card and a reading lamp. Merry Christmas.
Sure I'd give them a bike, or clothes, but no crazy stuff like pierced ears... or a pony.
And you know what, I wouldn't be giving them reel to reel tape recorders either.
