50 Stories About Christmas Presents That Will Make You Ugly Cry

39. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up, and one year my mom bought my brother and I those round sleds from the dollar store. We went to my grandmas house with them, (she had a lot of land,) and she took us sledding on the hills behind her house for literally the ENTIRE day. So much sledding that one of the sleds got a hole in it. She finally convinced us to go inside, as i’m sure she was freezing, and made us hot chocolate. My brother and I bet her that she wouldn’t wake up at 4 am the next morning and take us sledding while the sun rose…..she did. I love her so much.

40. Original Nintendo. We grew up poor and I wasn’t expecting to get anything on my xmas list that my mom insisted we fill out cause Santa was coming to the ghetto. On xmas I was ready for whatever, except the Nintendo I unwrapped. I sat there staring at it in disbelief until my mom snapped me out if it asking what I thought about it. Don’t remember what I said. I think I was high for 2 weeks. I slept with that thing and played it non stop the whole Xmas break.
