Some of the topics on this website get me all depressed so I thought I would try and start something a little more on the lighter side.
What was the best Christmas gift you have ever gotten?
For me it was my engagement ring it wasn’t big but this past June we celebrated our 25th anniversary and while there have been ups and downs I would not trade him in for a billion dollars.
I did get an upgrade on the ring on my 20th anniversary but still wear the other ring on my other hand

I still have the same inexpensive ring that I married my sweetheart with 45 years ago - just yesterday. It's been repaired but it is the very same ring. Our first Christmas we were very poor and I gave him a pair of Levis and he gave me a cutting board.................it was the one thing that I asked for. We were poor but we were so happy.......................and we still are! What a lovely thread HappyCamper.

The best Christmas gift I have ever gotten was to be able to spend Christmas day at the hospital with my dad, who was recovering after being transported to the hospital in critical condition.

It's a lovely thread.
My best Christmas was getting to spend time with my Mom last year after she survived a stroke and heart attack. She was my gift and continues to be.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

It is a good thread. My best ones were from college when I would fly home to visit family and friends, and take a break from school.
Don't remember any one present, I always most enjoyed watching someone open a gift from me to see their reaction.
Cheers!

Congrats HappyCamper and norma on your anniversaries - that's wonderful!
My best Christmas gift is the memories I have of my family hanging out (after opening our gifts at home, we'd rotate every year gathering at our house, my Uncle's, or my Aunt's with all of my mom's family), playing cards, laughing, eating, and watching football. Now that we're not in the same state anymore, I miss that opportunity and cherish those memories more than any of the gifts that I ever received (though I won't ever forget the huge tin of full-size Snickers bars I got one year, and the Pacman game another!).

My best Christmas gift was finding out I was pregnant with my oldest child. I sat in the candlelight at church letting the hymns wash over me while tears of joy streamed down my face. All I could think of was how great a blessing it was to celebrate the birth of our Lord knowing that I'd soon be holding a precious baby of my own.

There isn't one single gift that is my favorite or what I would call the best.
The one I remember when I think about Christmas is when I got a parakeet from Santa when I was a girl.
