Best present I ever got as a kid? Hrrmmmm.............gotta be the Semi-Auto Winchester 22. rifle my dad got me when I was 13. Nothing like a gift of firearms to warm the heart.

Best christmas... lets see I was 5 and my nana had gotten out of the hospital and we went up to San Luis to see her. She was my fovorite person in the world. She was not supposed to be left alone as she could have a stoke at any moment. My dad, sister and Granddad went swimming and my mom took a nap. Nana asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. We were gone about an hour and when we got back, all heal broke lose. They were all yelling my nana that she should not have been alone. blah blah blah. Then I yell at them to Stop. That she was not alone that she was with me. Mom turned around and said what would you have done if nana passed out? And very calmly I turned to her and said that I would run and get a grownup and tell them to call the hospital and police to get nana help. My nana at that point laughed and said that she was probably in the best hands being with me, cause that was exactly what eveyone else would have to do.
Sorry for the typos I really hurt today....

I sucked at sports,I was(and still am) about half the size of people my age. They would tackle me or balance the ball over my head and I would lose my temper and jump on them and bite and do whatever I needed to to bring them down. It was a horrible childhood.
When I was 10,my grandfather gave me a banjo for Christmas. He was a banjo player himself. I can't describe the feeling that came over me. that was it.
Here it's 25 yrs later and I still practice at least 1-3 hours a day,perform several nights a week and record several times a year. I must pick that damn thing up 3 times a day,that's over 1,000 times a year and every time I pick it up I remember that Christmas day 25 years ago and how I felt at that moment.
Thank's Grandad. I miss you.

I can't recall my favorite Christmas present, but I do remember that when I was 6 years old, my Mom made a video tape of me in my Christmas dress for my Grandma and Grandpa that lived in California. I opened the presents they sent me and sang the songs that I sang at my school's Christmas concert. I played Christmas songs on the organ and sang them. It was great and I still get all teary-eyed when I watch that video.

When I was 10, I got my first pair of skis (used) for Christmas. It was a big deal, because my older brothers wanted skis but didn't get them.
That first year, I skied at every chance. A week before a planned spring-skiing trip to the Rockies, I broke my leg.
When asked if I'd ever want to ski again, I answered "Of course!" I had so much fun up until then that I could barely wait to get out the next season.
I was an avid skier for 30 years until after an unrelated accident the doctor told me I'd be crazy to ski again. Its been two years and the snow is on the ground again. Getting IMPATIENT!!!

Wow, this is a hard one...
My father and I never got along (very long story - look for the autobio several years from now). He never encouraged me in music, and hated the fact I wanted to be a musician. I wanted a Crate guitar amp bad, but it was too much for us poor folk. My dad put it in layaway - and the last Christmas present I got from him was a Crate G40C stereo guitar amp. He passed away a year later unexpectedly, and so I vowed to keep that amp for life. In 2000, a 'friend' ripped me off on several things, like my amp, pedals, and video camera. It was a very expensive but valuable lesson on how much you can trust someone. He could have taken anything else - but the amp hurt! Oh well - Christmas for me is all about the kids - my niece and nephew. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't even celebrate Christmas. Always a glum time of year for me. Shutting up...
Peace,
Carl D

As a child? Best Christmas was going to Pops and Grandma's house with my Mom and Dad, three aunts, three uncles, and 11 cousins, all sleeping in the same house - 3 or 4 kids to a bed. On Christmas morning, all kids had to sit at the top of the stairs until all of the adults were downstairs, tree lights on, and coffee made (this was in the 50's - no Mr. Coffee - it had to percolate and it seemed like hours!)
I got a Betsy Wetsy doll, and my girl cousins were jealous because their dolls didn't pee, but mine did!
