What's Your Favorite Holiday Gaming Memory?

The holidays bring time with family and friends, the arrival of exciting presents, and hopefully free time to dig into your favorite new games. What memory stands out above all the others?

For some, it was that morning they opened up that rectangular package and found a NES and a copy of Super Mario Bros. in front of them. For others, it could be the marathon Rock Band session that had the whole family laughing and singing along. Or perhaps the holidays gave you the chance to dig in and play through all those dozens of hours of Final Fantasy X back in 2001.

Whatever it was, tell us about your recollections in the comments below. And, in case we don't mention it elsewhere: From all of us at Game Informer, have a happy and fun-filled holiday season!
