I will admit that as a child I was not immune to liking cool Christmas gifts. One year I had opened the gifts my parents bought for me and assumed that I was done opening gifts. After we were done my dad said "you have one more present" and my mom handed me a piece of paper with a clue written on it. So I paraded around the house and outside trying to find each clue which would lead me to the next clue. After I found the last clue it had me go back to the Christmas tree and when I got there my dad was standing there with my very own GT Mountain bike! It was a pristine riding machine which ended up sticking with me through my formative years. I was shocked and absolutely loved that gift. I don't know if getting a bike has the same appeal that it did back then, but let me tell you - I was a happy camper that Christmas. My family always had great Christmas celebrations.
