My Top 5 Favorite Christmas Gifts

Hey Everybody,

I had fun making my list of favorite Christmas movies last week, so this week, I am going to list the 5 greatest gifts I ever received. Enjoy!

5. A Sword. This needs no explaining. Mikki saw it at the pawn shop, and she knew I would be surprised. Ladies, just in case you don't know this, every man wants a sword. It's just awesome.

4. A Baseball Signed by the '68 World Champion Detroit Tigers. My mom bought this one. It's missing a few signatures, but at least I was able to get Al Kaline to sign it for me later that year.

3. A Big Box of Star Wars Toys. Santa brought it when I was 5. I think the box was as big as me. Awesome.

2. A Troy Aikman Christmas Ornament. I'm from Detroit, and I have never been a fan of Dallas or Aikman. But the last Christmas that my Grandma was alive, I told her that I would like to have a Christmas ornament from her. I was expecting something that would be sentimental, but instead I got Aikman. Apparently she went to the store and looked for something that would match my interests. My Grandma was an oddball and a flake, but she was also one of the most special and influential people in my life, so every year I have to explain to people why Aikman is on my tree. Now that I live in Redskin country, I make sure to stash him towards the back.

1. The Nintendo Entertainment System. Once upon a time, there were three brothers who loved to frolic and play outside. Then one Christmas, Santa delivered the Nintendo. We never saw the sun again. Best. Christmas. Ever.
