While I was looking for pictures of people getting Nintendo Wiis for Christmas (if you're one such person, be sure to check Fidgit tomorrow!), I discovered an embarrassment of riches. I suppose when you combine a holiday season, a short supply, a high demand, and a product that kids (of all ages!) love, you're going to get some great Christmas morning photos.

So I've collected and commented on the best Wii Christmas pictures I found. Until someone gives Christmas morning Wii pictures the same treatment as pictures of cats in boxes, this Fidgit entry will have to do. So get in there and have a look. Yes, you too, Mr. Core Gamer with your Xbox 360 and your copy of Gears of War 2. Even you remember what it was like to be a delighted kid.

After the jump, Wii wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Number ten

Delight? Terror? Sheer panic? Mild stroke? Whatever's going on here, you can't deny the Wii elicits strong emotions.

Number nine

This one is great for all the subtext. The boy in the center of the frame, obviously the younger brother, might be happy to get a Wii, but the older brother on the right clearly knows who's going to get the most Wiimote time. There's an even younger sibling shoved out of the picture in the lower right. Forget it kid. Maybe you can play while your older brothers are at school.

Number eight

In this frozen instant of time, I love how the girl on the left is completely absorbed in her adoration of the Wii, while the girl on the right is apparently looking to her parents to see if they're serious or if it's some sort of Punk'd situation.

Number seven

This parents who gave their children this package of Wii stuff achieve karmic neutrality for the fact that they've posted on the internet pictures of their kid wearing that particular shirt. Feeling a little unappreciated, Mom?

Number six

This sentient arm chair is quite happy with its new Wii.

Number five

Wrestling fan, or actual wrestler? Either way, everyone loves to get a Wii.

Number four

The overexposure actually gives this picture a weirdly divine look, as if the Arm of God has descended from heaven to bestow upon this child a Wii while her nude brother looks on, conveniently covered by stuff in the foreground like in that sequence from the Austin Powers movie. Also, in this particular account the Bestowing of the Wii, God has a tattoo on his Arm.

Number three

Bless this little girl for being a good sport. It looks like she's okay with getting the Wii, but she'd still rather have a pony.

Number two

The sister on the right seems worried about her clumsy brother hoisting the Wii high to pose with it. Her left hand is poised to grab it mid-drop.

Number one, fourth runner-up
(You didn't think I was going to only have ten, did you?)

This is an after-the-fact picture, so it's not really fair. But I had to comment on the central child, who's got awesome form if you're looking for someone who can golf and bowl simultaneously. Check it out:

Number one, third runner-up

He seems wise to the fact that there's supposed to be an actual Wii in the box.

Number one, second runner-up

If that chick at IGN can lick her PSP, then who's to question this young Superman for kissing his Wii?

Number one, first runner-up

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a grin.

Number one

I just love the looks on their faces. All of them. With the exception of the little boy almost hidden in the lower right hand corner, who's acting too cool to be impressed. But the reactions on those three girls' faces must have made this Wii worth every penny.
