I bet that was a very happy Christmas for her seeing your excitement.

$600 in today’s dollars. She probably couldn’t afford it, but knew how happy it would make you. The smile on your face was worth it for her!

I just called my dad to thank him for whatever he did to get me my first game console for Christmas.
