Holiday Stories sharing thread

As part of our upcoming holiday shows we'll be sharing your stories about gaming and the holidays. This is the place to share them. There's no set criteria about what they need to be, other than that they relate the two. Shopping, memorable new releases, playing with family, presents, Christmas Day stories, whatever they may be, if you're willing to share, we'd love to add them to our holiday program.

Please do be sure you're comfortable having the story posted here and potentially read on the show.
