Here's a throwback to a small kid in oversized glasses freaking out about receiving an NES for Christmas. Yes! It even comes with a gun. This adorable little wreck cries as he hugs and thanks his father for the gift. He then goes to his room to find money to pay his dad back. Reddit user "smulz" posted the video saying it was from Christmas 1988. A then-farsighted "smulz" waited two whole months for the gift of a lifetime, his mother says in the video. More euphoric "oohs" are squealed out as he unboxes his new system to the Ghostbusters theme playing on the tv in the background. Oh the number of elves I would sacrifice to ever experience that type of joy.
