Best Christmas Gift As A Kid

When my brothers and I were kids, we always had pretty great Christmas gifts waiting for us on Christmas morning. Yeah, Santa was usually pretty good to us. We were by no means rich but somehow dreams of a Stretch Armstrong action figure, chemistry sets and slot car race tracks seem to appear magically under the tree. One year in particular was memorable to us three brothers, though. The year we got our very own Atari 5200 Gaming System! Wow, what a Christmas that was! If you aren't familiar with this massive behemoth of a console, check out the video below.



The Atari 5200 was a giant commercial flop, however. I don't know if it was the gargantuan size of the thing or the screwy television and power hook-up, or maybe it was the nutty control pads that sort of looked like space age telephones...something was wrong with the system and Atari took a huge hit for it.

Never mind that though, this game could play all our favorite arcade games like Pac-Man, Joust, Space Invaders and lots more and that meant we didn't have to dig for quarters in the sofa so much. We were happy campers for sure! It was the first game system my family owned and it was the bomb back in the day. If you are feeling nostalgic, you might enjoy these new arcade gamer t-shirts we have at CuriousInkling.com They really bring back the old days of spending days in the arcade!

So tell me...What was your favorite Christmas present as a kid?

New Christmas T-shirts In Stock Now!

I am a certified Christmas geek. No really, I have the card to prove it. To me, there's nothing like the holiday season and I thoroughly enjoy everything about it. I started looking around the net to see what sort of Christmas t-shirts others had designed because, you know, no sense in doing it if I can't offer something new. With that in mind, I think I was able to come up with some nice, unique t-shirts that would be fun to wear to parties or whatever sort of holiday gathering that you may have planned.

It's A Wonderful Life Shirts for Men, Women and Children!
This is just one example of the Christmas shirts we have in stock. This is our "It's A Wonderful Life" t-shirt. It features the exact replica logo of the Bailey Bros. Building & Loan as seen in the movie. It's a Wonderful Life has always been one of my "must see" holiday movies and I really love this t-shirt. If you look closely in the "bank run" scene where George has to cancel his honeymoon plans to save the business from closing, you will see this exact window logo in the scene a couple of times. The Christmas garnish at top and bottom of the logo just ads that warm antique holiday flavor to the design. 

We have lots more really fun Christmas T-shirts available as well so please stop in and have a look. We also have the most unique geek t-shirts and gifts, movie fan shirts and gifts and a huge assortment of one-of-a-kind t-shirt designs that would make terrific gifts for just about anyone on your list. After all, what's more personal and enjoyable than giving someone a gift they love and can enjoy wearing?
