As dorky as it sounds, when I was a kid my aunt knitted me blue and yellow mittens for my favorite team then, the LA Rams. Back in the day of my favorite running back Wendell Tyler.
The mother lode!I was a huge Rams fan as a kid as well. One year, I got a Rams robe, bedspread, garbage can, lunch box and a full Lawrence McCutcheon uniform.
WAKE UP, you're Dreaming again!Christmas of '85, a very kind girlfriend with a very kind female friend.
Pinky! I see a lot of Dennis Gentry in Tarik Cohen and a great story thanks for sharingBesides Atari 2600, Christmas 1983 I asked for a real Bears Jersey, not those knock offs USD24 posted above, which were awesome by the way USD24 I had one but I wanted a real mesh Bears Jersey. My Mom is off the boat Irish, even though her three boys played football for years, she didn’t know Walter Payton from Carlton Fisk and really didn’t care too....well I was in the 7th grade and dropped numerous hints and just assumed it would be a Payton Jersey. Well Christmas morning I opened my gift, saw it was a Bears Jersey held it up in delight and displayed my #29 Dennis Gentry Jersey!!! I looked over at my Mom and she was excited and hoping she did right. I told her I loved it and she smiled....until my older brother said “Dennis Gentry? He sucks!”.....typical Rice guy he was!! Anyways I did spend a lot of time explaining why I got Dennis Gentry to my friends but I learned all about the Baylor great and rooted him in for all 7 TDs he got in his 11 year career on the Bears...but 11 years he was with the Bears and always chipped in! I was #29 my freshman year too.

What was a big hit gift you gave to someone else for Christmas?
Favorite memory - coming home from Christmas Eve mass as a youngster and on the way home saw a neighbor on top of his roof in a Santa outfit fixing the decorative lights.
Where did you play with those sticks? Lagoon in Marquette Park? Flooded concrete courts at the 92nd & Millard Park? That small lake in Oak Lawn SE of 95th & Central?Christmas 1970 or 1971 my super cool Aunt gave me and my cousin Jim aluminum hockey sticks. The blade and neck were fiberglass and the shaft was aluminum. No chance of that ever breaking. Absolutely nobody else in Evergreen Park had one of those
I got all the Super Jock Sports one year!!!Q: What was your favorite all time Christmas/Holiday gift?
