Holidays And Gaming

Some of my earliest holiday memories are tied up in gaming, whether it was the excitement of opening that enticingly wrapped box to discover my own Nintendo and firing up Super Mario Bros. for the first time, or taking winter break from school to venture into early D&D adventures with my brother.

It makes sense that gaming often has close ties to our holiday memories. It’s a time of year when folks are looking to have fun, share experiences with friends and family, and hopefully get a break from the day-to-day. There’s also much to be said for the likelihood that holiday gift-giving brings with it a high chance of an anticipated new release coming your way, thanks to a parent or partner paying attention to what you really want.
