* The best Christmas Gift you got as a kid was...
Jimmy G - "Christmas has always been a big deal in my family and there’s been cool gifts and stuff but I mostly remember and think of just the fun hanging out with my family. They’ve always made it a point to just make me and my brothers feel super important and to appreciate being together which has meant more since I moved away and only see them once or twice a year.
Also- Castle Grayskull"
