Literally two of my favorite toys as a kid. I also had the 6 million dollar man RV.






But since you stole my thunder, I’ll go with




78 Cherry Burst Memphis LP, or as close as I could find to mine, and although I no longer believed in Santa, the old guy was magnanimous enough to bring it to me anyway, which set me off on the road to becoming a guitar legend in my own mind.

Seriously though, it really did begin my passion for music and playing. I was obsessed and couldn’t put it down the whole day and many days, weeks, months, and years later.

This is the right answer, me and a couple of friends were talking about this over the weekend, one of them actually work there after school putting motorcycles together, people that never got to experience this will never understand

Unicycle, I was not expecting it but learned to ride it anyway. It was really fun. I could ride it and play tennis.

It’s a toss up. Either the Sega Genesis with mortal combat, N64 with goldeneye or my Remington Viper .22 rifle. I shot that rifle until it literally fell apart and started my Love for precision shooting.

This had to be up there (I think this was a Santa gift? Now that I think about it, I think I was older and knew about Santa when “Santa” brought this one.)

The very first chess computer that had actual chess pieces. I still to this day think that was the coolest gift I ever got. However, it was from my dad. I didn’t believe in Santa at that age then.

My favorite Christmas present ever was 3 tickets. One ticket to the hornets vs Celtics. A ticket to the Xavier lsu basketball game. And a ticket to Monday night raw in Lafayette the night after the saints won the super bowl.

A Garcia 5500 C reel and a fiberglass ugly stick with a pistol grip and ceramic guides...big step up from a Zebco 33 with a straight cork grip and twisted steel guides. I still use that reel....at least 45 years old....its been rebuilt once and I have replaced some drag discs and the handle a couple of times but it is still in the rotation....
