Unfortunately, I doubt you will ever be able to relive that christmas. But it doesn't mean you can't pay it forward and pass it on. I hope you will remember how good you felt that day and eventually have the means to make christmas special for someone else.
This OP, I hope you have a son one day and that you make this Christmas happen for him. While you're at it buy a game for yourself too and join him.
We're not going back but the solution is definitely not to hang yourself in the closet. Don't think about that.
Levi Jackson
fuck, man, are you me? That's almost exactly the way it went down for me too.
Robert Johnson
For me that was christmas '99.
>N64 + Mario 64 >Huge ass podracing toy model since I was obsessed with that scene from the movie >Starfox 64. Which got me super hype since I didn't think I was getting more games. I didn't even know the series at all.
Every christmas gifts I got from then on were a let down in comparison. I even threw a tantrum the following year because I asked for Majora's mask and/or Pokemon Snap and we got a home computer instead. Man I feel so bad about being such a dick, but serves them right for spoiling me so much the previous christmas.
I was playing with your mums ass when she was hanging on that bad boy.

>We're not going back but the solution is definitely not to hang yourself in the closet. Don't think about that. This, if you kill yourself jump in front of a train and ruin that day for as many people as possible
Dominic Wood
Gold was my first Pokemon game too, I still have it in that old Gameboy Advance duffle bag grandpa gave to me after all these years.
>tfw someone actually did this It took me 2 hours to get back home from work instead of like 30 minutes
Elijah Phillips
I think there is a pretty good solution. Marry a woman. Have a kid. Recreate that Christmas but that time you will be the parent. It’s natural flow of time. But if you won’t agree I think you are still too childish and need to grow up. Hold on, you made that thread... I have bad news for you
Aiden Clark
Did you complain to everyone within earshot "how selfish some people are, have some consideration and hang yourself, eurgh" I always loved that when I commuted, people have such little self awareness, it's how I'm gonna do it
Brody Foster
Nah, I just grabbed a coffee and walked with my friends to another train station. It was a fun walk and nobody talked about the girl trying to kill herself.
Sebastian Mitchell
My first pokemon game ever was Pokemon Blue and I played it on this bad boy. Oh man the memories in school and in summer camp...
I want to go back... Once you grow up christmas don't feel like that anymore and you end up drinking up the entire night remembering those simple times

>9th birthday >small family, pretty poor >opening presents, time to open the one from dad >I ask him what’s inside >he tells me it’s a special present, whatever I wish for will be inside >I immediately wish for a gameboy advance >open it up, it’s a purple GBA and Pokemon FireRed >tfw my dad is a wizard I was such a dumbass kid Good times
Jack James
just become a grandpa faggot
Elijah Torres
spic?
Henry Ross
No, just used to be poor. What made my story sound Mexican tho?
Jesus I don't want to kill myself lmao. I'm just sad is all.
Wyatt Foster
Same here. I remember playing Pokémon Silver on Christmas night with that attachable USB light you could hook up to the Gameboy color. One of those moments where nothing exists but you and the game you're playing.
Levi Gonzalez
>year the N64 is released >its literally the only thing i asked, no, BEGGED for >open all the presents xmas morning >no fucking N64 >hello darkness my old friend >parents make me get dressed up and go do xmas and grandparent's >i always get shitty gifts from them, i know they didn't buy a fucking console for me. they got me a SNES game at best >we go open the presents >i fucking get Super Mario 64. i want to cry at this point. i tell my grandma, holding back tears, that i didn't get a N64 so i can't use her gift >she tells me to open the TV cabinet >i immediately know whats coming >my N64 is right there, already fucking plugged in and ready to go >play SM64 for the first time why do parents do this shit? it literally ruins the rest of the day for you. i thought it was the worst fucking xmas ever until the very end of the day, and now i only remember this one moment.
Lincoln Johnson
I had a christmas like that. One of the best surprises. My great grandmother got me and my brother gameboy colors with Red and Blue. We didn't even ask for them. I'm assuming my second cousins asked for them and she got her great grandkids them as well. Runner up was my Grandmother managing to find a DS when it launched, couldn't find that damn thing anywhere.
The poor part, granted the small family part should've answered his question.
>get less and less on your bday and christmas >bills get higher and higher as you get older My car crapped out around my bday and had to get another. Didn't even get enough birthday money for a car payment.
James Turner
>someone kills themselves >no one talks about it Fuck me, immediate validation as to why she should kill herself.
Ryder Long
Could you be any more of a fuckin' whiny sack of shit? Jesus. You got the fuckin' gift, shut the fuck up about it, you're treating it like it's the story of how you got molested.
You found my cock ring! user, how will I ever thank you? Now I can stay hard while hammering your sister's loose, cavernous pussy -- she pretends I'm you, but with the massive meat log she wishes you had.
