And the best present I got was a telescope. The first thing I did was point it at Saturn. I was lucky that the night was cloudless (I stood on a balcony of a house in a small village in Piedmont, Italy). It took a bit of time to zoom in on it properly (I calibrated it on the Moon first, as it was much easier to spot) but once I got Saturn in focus, I was super-excited to see the famous rings.
