A half pipe in my back yard. In hindsight I see why. Kids could just get hurt and it would have been on my parents' land and caused legal issues.

Hmm... maybe a dog? And I get why they wouldn't want to give me that responsibility so early now. :dog_face:

With 2 brothers and 4 sisters we never asked for extravagant gifts and were happy with a new pair of jeans or pair of shoes.  Life on a farm was hard work and all 7 of us learned what a strong work ethic was.  We had each other and that was all that mattered.  Even though our mom and dad along with our oldest sister are no longer physically with us, the chain is still unbroken.

God bless you all on a very merry Christmas and remember its not about presents.

would be a new system. all at once and not two generations old.

[Spanky211]

I wanted one of those race car beds.I would have regretted it when I hit puberty a few years later...or not...vroom

[Kakafu]

I'd settle for a AMD Radeon Mouse pad .. need an Upadte for my Ati pad .. 

Jingle Bells .. la la la .

Playstation

[RAMONMX]

Recuerdo cuando desde mis 8 años de edad, siempre quise una consola de juegos y no la obtuve hasta que me la compre yo mismo a los 17.

[Spoodle]

I always wanted to have an Atari gaming system. 

[Rifter]

Video Games.  My parents were against them.  I never got one, even though I asked every year.  

[Madvillian]

I always wanted a Power Wheels Jeep, but alas, it was never meant to be...

[SiN_Fury]

Probably a new bike.  Being the youngest,  everything I had was hand-me-downs.

[johnny_cee]

never got a computer in the 80s had to wait till i moved out to build my own..

[Terk_er_derbs]

Conker's bad fur day 😞

[smithdw2026]

I don't remember anything specific that I wanted but never got for Christmas. Most things that I really wanted, my parents were able to get. Right now what I really would like is a new video card for my computer because the one I have is a really old XFX 7770 card that doesn't really work well for my Asus TUF Gaming X570-Pro motherboard

To go to sleep and never wake up.

[ZeusCell]

I always wanted a console, any, but it was when I turn 18 that got one, and I bought it.

[venaur]

LETS GO!!! 🙂 

I always wanted a PC 

[KAPPY]

A top-of-the-line AMD graphics card

[joebangles]

(I can't think of anything that I wanted so badly that I still hold that disappointment from not getting that thing)

I'm sure there were things that I desperately wanted, but didn't get due to expense, but many things I thought I wanted were quite a disappointment when I did receive them.

I now try to follow the Zen thought on this: "Let the giver be thankful" -- I'd much rather be able to give something to other people, because it's more satisfying than receiving something myself.

It doesn't stop me from entering drawings, though!
