What is the best Christmas present you have ever recieved?
For me, there are a few that stand out. One was our puppy Wilbur, who we rescued from the dog pound on Christmas Eve as a companion for our other dog, Harvey.
The others are things people made me, like a new hat my neice knitted me, a tea box my brother made, ornaments painted by kids, the woodcarvings my Dad did, and a doll blanket my Mom sewed me.
My best all time bought gift was a wheelbarrow….My husband and I had been looking for a farmhouse for several years, and I said that when we had a barn and big garden, I wanted a wheelbarrrow. We still hadn’t found the house, but he remembered that, and it meant the world to me, because it was part of a dream of a different life. We live that life now.
The best thing I got for Christmas was an Easy Bake oven from my cousin when I was 27 years old. We were out X mas shopping and I was teasing her about having gotten the best toys when we were growing up including that Easy Bake oven. It was a great gag gift. I haven’t complained since. I gave it to her daughter last year.
