No one else made aspirational Christmas lists when they were kids?

I grew up poor. We never asked for anything. We knew that it wasn't even remotely possible so why bother making ourselves sad over wishing big?

We were just happy to have anything.

My mom did her best but we never really had much and my brother and I understood the situation that we were in.

One Christmas we got a N64 after it had been out for a couple of years. But she couldn't afford any games so she rented a couple for us for that week. We would periodically rent a game or two here and there and eventually bought some used games.

It was great. We really appreciated it. I still have that N64.
