The Daily Grind: MMO gift giving?

Last week Massively put up a gift guide for gamers looking to share their favorite hobby. We don't imagine a lot of you ran out to put it into use, but it did bring up a question among some of us regarding gift-giving and MMOs. Every year after the holidays the NPDs reflect season gifts of MMO boxes, and spikes in online gaming. We have to wonder though: are the December holidays really a time to get into or give an MMO?

So, that's the question for today. Have you ever given an MMO box or subscription card as a Christmas gift? Have you ever recieved one? Did your exposure to an MMO as a result of gift giving result in a long-term relationship with the genre? Give us details and heart-warming holiday stories on this, the last day before Christmas Eve. Drop us your holiday hijinks in the comments below!
