Not a favorite, but one that sticks with me is, one Xmas in 2015 or so, I received The Witcher 3 with a big ol bag of beef jerky. I associate that game with Beef jerky smell & taste, and I associate beef jerky with The Witcher 3. It's a good smell :)

I knew I was getting Majoras Mask for Christmas. I then searched the apartment to find the hiding place and then played the game secretly 😭😭 of course my mum noticed and she was really angry. So I wouldn't say favorite but definitely Christmassy.

LMAO! I did the exact same thing with Twilight Princess as well. 😭

nizzleb.bsky.social•86 days ago

I almost never celebrated as a kid but the one year we did, I got Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and it was the best thing ever 😂

That's such a banger of a gift though!

parmparm.bsky.social•86 days ago

It was and it was from my mom which shocked me 😂

I got The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and the strategy guide for Christmas 1998
