GI Joe (the ghost of Christmas past) a holiday thread
In the spirit of Christmas I am starting this thread. I am asking everyone who reads this to post a story of your Christmas past. Tell everyone about your Christmas stories. I will start. When I was just a small child in 1983 I awoke on Christmas morning. Outside our house in Lorain, Ohio there was a white glow of snow on the ground. We had had a freak winter storm the night before, so common to north eastern Ohio. I looked out of my window from my bedroom and saw the soft white fluff piled up on the ground and I grew excited. It was Christmas Morning and that was all I had to know. My mother was in the kitchen cooking the Christmas meal and the smell of ham had filled the air. I rushed to the kitchen to say good morning and ask if I could open my gifts. We where not rich so any thing we got for the holidays meant my parents had made a sacrifice. My mother was sitting at the table listening to the radio and drinking her morning cup of coffee. I was so excited, I had asked for so much, but I knew we couldn't afford all I wanted. That was OK though, I didn't mind. I had not asked for dolls or silly things like jacks or skates. All I wanted was a few new GI Joe items. the smell of the strong coffee percolating on the stove was heavy in the air. Well after a few moments of pure Christmas bliss, my mother said I needed to wait till my brother had awakened. Oh how frustrating that was, the smell of hot coffee in the air and ham cooking in the stove was already driving me mad and now I had to wait. UGHHHHH. Well being the little impatient person I was I hurried to my Brothers bedside to Wake him up. It was Christmas morning after all, how could he be in bed dreaming? It was very early but I didn't care. I woke him up any way and we both returned to the warm glow of our kitchen. The radio was playing some Christmas songs and my mother was humming along as she stirred something in a pot at the stove. Our mother laughed at both of us as my brother yawned and stretched and tried to wake up. My mom grabbed her cup of coffee with the steam still coming off it and walked with us to the living room where the tree sat with all the presents around it. My brother and I waited until we where told and then tore into the items underneath the tree, such is the wonder of childhood. I got clothes and other silly things that day but among all the presents I opened I received a Wolverine with Covergirl. The box was amazing and it wasn't long before I had it opened and applying stickers. You know, that was the best gift I received that morning. I loved that little toy. I went to bed that Christmas night with that toy sitting next to me in the bed. It was a gift that meant a lot to me and even to this day it stills means a lot to me. It is not perfect anymore and several pieces are missing but it is still in my collection today. So if you don't mind share your story in this thread. Tell us your story of Christmas past. Have a Merry Christmas Lots of love Samantha

My one of my more memorable Joe Christmases was back in the early 90's when iw as in junior high. I was real bad sick the week of christmas and infact had been hokrin' chunks extensively. Christmas eve looked promising but as i lay in bed trying to rest i shouted for my folks then as soon as they entered the room proceeded to paint the wall in hork. well as i was fed soup and 7-up by my mom i got to open up a present....and it was a a night force persuader (cant remember what it was called.) i cheered and horked again. (i was real sick). well i managed to get to sleep but woek up at 4 am well before my folks. As i sat watching my tv (amazingly NOT horkin') i needed s drink. well it was dark so i snuck into the bathroom to get a drink of water and saw a small present my folks had forgotten on the linen closet. Welli grabbed it and hurried to my room to open it and wait one more hour before calling to my folks (in my house as a kid dad had to light the christmas tree before i could go out to the living room and open gifts). so as i opened it i couldnt belive it...it was a locust and a Capt. Gridiron.....both of which i was really wanting. Well after assembling it and playing in my room and hour had gone by so i called to my folks. well after a few moments....felt like an eternity...my pops called for my mom and i to go out to the living room.
Before i rounded the couch i nearly fainted....there were some unwrapepd gifts and one was a rolling thunder and the other was the nightforce whale. well after my folks opened their gifts ( i wanted to go last to savor the fun) i tore into my gifts. I also got a desert fox, destro and his flying chair thing...the avalanche...all the night force figs and vehicles cept for the striker (no tru had it) and somehow a mission brazil set along with hardball, hit n run, repeater and several other joes. aside from 1984 that was one of the best joe christmases ever. Just felt like sharing that one. oh and i didnt get sick at all that morning.

Ok , well it was 1985. My parents always had a Christmas Party at our house every year for family and friends. My brother and I were downstairs hanging out. ( I'm ten my bro was seven). When we were told to go upstairs to go to sleep when we got to the top of the stairs and there it was, The USS Flagg in all it's glory.That giant ass box staring right at me and my little bro. Upon getting closer to it there were twelve figures sitting on top of it. We were friggin so stoked we were running around like maniacs. Worst thing was we were told to go to sleep after that. Yea right. Thats my best story.
