My favorite gift every XMAS growing up in the 70's was a Case (500 rounds) of Remington Shut-Shot 12 gauge shells.....3-1/4.....1-1/4.....7-1/2 shot. Those would be about gone come next XMAS. None were wasted!!! All shot at Doves,Quail,Squirrels and Rabbits. MAN th' Dove Shoots we had back then.....many 4 to 5 boxes shot on a single shoot!!

I remember always getting some apples and oranges in my stocking as well as an assortment of mixed nuts. When my parents were kids growing up, this is what they always got on Christmas Day and they kept the tradition alive. I have not done this yet, but plan next year to start giving this to the grandkids. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

We were pretty poor. Best gift i ever remember was a single shot NEF 410. Like an idiot i sold it. I know whos got it but he wont sell it back to me

We would get an assortment of nuts, and a tangerine or 2 By the 60s, apples and oranges were pretty common, but tangerines were considered exotic.

Circling what you wanted out of the Sears catalog

^^^ remember doing that Morris

Bb gun was pretty sweet at 8 or 9 and pellet gun few years later was awesome and 12 gauge at 12 and 270 at 15 or 16

those by far my best gifts - we were average middle class

Atari 2600.

Green machine and GI Joe aircraft were my dreams

A bag a switches

Big wheel and rockem sock em robots

Not just a toy but the original Tonka truck. Unkillable. A Remington single shot .22 an H&R 410. My first lb of Win760 when I was 14 my first 8lb jug of Unique when I was 16 to feed my Federal Ordnance .45acp. I think I turned out allright.

One gift I still have is a Lionel train; of course I also got various guns and fishing stuff. My uncle always gave the nephews fireworks, enough to last 6 months.

A pony

My uncle bought me a used Yamaha yz125. Very used. But it might as well have been brand new as far as I was concerned.

My absolute favorite gift was from my grandfather. He knew I loved art. Used scrap lumber to make me an art easel and table. I kept it until recently. A niece borrowed it and left it behind when she was evicted after a divorce. Still hasn't had the courage to tell me. But word got to me eventually. I truly miss having those around.

Evel Knievel stunt motorcycle

I got one of the chem lab chemistry sets with a real alcohol burner that ran off of rubbing alcohol and you could make some killer poisons and different color fire effects, Also came with a balance beam you had to build that was good to measure out your cocaine and weed on.

What those things would do to a long haired dog was epic. It would take us an hour to cut it out only do it all over again.

My favorite Christmas gifts growing up was a Remington Model 870 Express, Remington Model 742, Nintendo, and Atari.

I had one of those. Remember getting a BMX bike when I was 12. Totally out the blue, never asked for it. Always got oranges, apples, walnuts and pecans in our stockings every year. Also got these chocolate covered cream drops. Forget what they were called. Got Brazil nuts too, but dad didn’t call them that. 😆

I got one of those when I was 8-yrs old.

I had my tonsils taken out and my Mom bought it for me and brought it to the hospital. The nurses were very kind and let me and other kid play with it in the hallway of the children's ward.

Y’all bringing back some good Ol memories with the stocking stuffers, Lionel, train set, big wheels, Rock’m Sock’m robots, Evil, and the guns. I guess one of my favorites was a new Elite racing go kart.
