This past Christmas marked the first Christmas of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S generation, and we've seen countless people excitedly unwrapping their new consoles for the first time over the past few days.
And as always, a few of those reactions have gone viral on social media, with the lucky recipients sometimes even breaking down in (happy) tears at receiving the ultimate Xbox Christmas gift.
We've picked out just a couple of these below - let us know if you've seen any others in the comments!

I maybe a an older gamer, but there is almost nothing like seeing gaming reactions like that.
As you get older the surprise element goes as you buy it yourself.
But the feeling of anticipation still exists, as when my series x arrived.
Awesome, I still remember getting a N64 for christmas.. The joy of getting a game console when your a kid for Christmas is the best feeling in the world..
I remember Christmas Eve and my dad wanted us to open one present to the three of us kids. We chose one and he declined and had us pick another. We then opened his choice. It was original NES with robot. We were stunned. We immediately barreled downstairs into our basement where the TV was and played Duck Hunt for hours, my dad included. He always loved those types of gifts to the family.
I remember when I had my original PlayStation, opened every present in the morning and then realised there was another present hidden in the corner behind the tree, analog controller, Spyro 2 and Croc. never been so excited about a system since
These kind of reactions make me so happy.
Ok this shows my age but for Christmas 1981 i got a Sinclair ZX81 which was a.complete surprise cost my parents about about £100 back then including the 16k ram module and the tape deck for the software, which would be about £380 today 😁
Aw man. The kid crying almost made me cry. I miss childhood. Damn.
Have fun, kid.
And to think scalpers have robbed many families of this. The *****.
HAPPY 4:20pm
I am a millennial and still I was very excited when I received my Series X (a delivery guy gave it to me so it was not that I took it from a shelf) because I had sold my Xbox One X a few months ago and I couldn't wait to try my favourite games 😁. Now it's my favourite console because it's powerful, I love backwards compatibility and it looks nice.
@Iceman5x5 Mine was a TRS CoCo 1 back then from my parents. According to the internet, worth $399 in 1981 dollars or $1,145 today. No floppy drive, but I did have a swanky cassette deck where you had audibly listen for silence to know where to press play and run the load routine. Would spend hours entering Basic code from Rainbow Magazine to gleefully watch a square bounce across my screen. I still have the CoCo today. Quite yellowed, but still runs. I also still have my favorite cartridge, Dungeons of Daggorath.
