Your best ever Xmas present

December 16 2009

Bored at work so figured I'd ask the following questions:1)  What is the best Xmas present you've ever been bought.2)  Which gift did you buy that received the most gratitude?I'll start us off:1)  My favourite Xmas present I was ever given would probably have to be a pack of my favourite chocolate biscuits.  We didn't have a lot of money that year and since I passed 15 I was never really bothered about presents anymore anyway, i'm more into the family tradition of sitting down and eating Roast Turkey!2)  My gift that received the most gratitude was a few years back, I bought a brand new 360 for my brothers and they loved it, failing that it would be an electric shaver for my dad, because his one was dying.  When he opened it he cried (LOL) because he said I had remembered him whining about it ages ago and that shows I listened.  He still doesn't know that my mum told me to get him that one.  ;)

    As with you Trish   Every year with both of my boys i have emphasised the spirit of giving to those less fortunate....   So we sort through the toys and things that dont get played with anymore....   And throughout the year we buy things to put under the "special tree"...   We dont have a lot....   I am now a single mum with a mortgage...   But my boys will learn the lesson of giving....   And so far they have embrassed it with open arms...   How proud is this mum ....   xxxpandaxxx
