ReplyDeletemy favorite christmas present ever was from a group of guy friends in college. They picked a different flower for each of us girls and wrote us each a note about how that flower represented us. Mine was a callalily. They also chose a verse from Prov 31 that they felt matched each of us. Seriously, most encouraging gift ever!

ReplyDeleteFavorite Christmas gift ever? Hmm... well, technically it's not a gift, but my parents gave us their artificial Christmas tree a few years ago. Our older son was 5 months old at the time, but we didn't have enough money to buy a tree (my husband was in law school and I wasn't working yet), and they said, "You have a child--you need a Christmas tree." Four years later, even though we can afford a new one, we're keeping this tree. It's a very special part of our Christmas with our TWO boys now and a connection to my parents--we love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to tweet about the giveaway right now :)

My favorite Christmas gift I ever received was from my Grandpa (who passed away about a year ago.) I was probably 6 or 7 and he gave me a box of my favorite cereal because he found out my parents wouldn't get it for me because it was too expensive (I ate a lot of cereal back then and it was probably the most expensive cereal available.) Then he made sure he had it at his home anytime I came over. I had the best Grandpa in the world.

ReplyDeleteBest Christmas present was my car, freshman year of college. I opened up a set of keys as the very last gift of the morning & burst into tears. We ran outside & my car was in the driveway with a huge red bow on it.
ReplyDeleteThe best Christmas present I ever received was my Cabbage Patch Kid. My parents gave her to me when I was 4 and I kept her until she couldn't be sewn back together anymore.

ReplyDeleteFavorite Christmas gift...would have to be my camera 3 years ago...it's when the "magic" started happening, and the photography business sort of "came about"!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas gift has got to be a little silver heart necklace my husband got me the Christmas after we got engaged. It was perfect and simple and I wore it every day. I took it off on our wedding day to put on my 'something new' from mom and it got lost in the chaos. We've looked and looked for something close, but have never been able to find anything close. Maybe this Christmas...:)

one of my favorite christmas gifts is a scarf my mom got me years ago. she, a friend of mine & i were walking through the store & i saw these scarves & told my friend how ugly they were.. well, my mom got in a little fit about me not liking these scarves that were in style at the time.. and lo & behold on christmas day, i opened a scarf. she had already bought me the scarf prior to our shopping trip. but i really do love this scarf because it has 4 different hues of brown.. and the reason, i didn't like the others were because they were just solid black or solid brown & i didn't like them.. but i truly do love my scarf! heehee! it took a while convincing her that i really do love it! and now that she's gone (passed away 4.5 yrs ago), i treasure it even more!

ReplyDeleteOh, I can't pick my favorite Christmas gift, but I think it might have to be the trip to Disney World we got when I was 7 or so. How awesome is that? My kindle comes in as a close second.

ReplyDeleteGifts aren't that big of a deal around my house, so I have no idea what my favorite present is... but, one of my favorite things about Christmas has always been caroling. I guess those memories could be considered as my favorite gifts. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletei'm a follower... awesome give a way!
ReplyDeletemy favorite Christmas gift ever had to be my engagement ring :) in 2007 on Christmas morning!
ReplyDeleteI just started following, I shared the giveaway on facebook, and I am about to tell you my favorite Christmas gift ever! : either my trampoline when I was younger, or my engagement ring [it was an early Christmas present :)]

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas Present ever was this little gold ring with two hearts on it (one upside down, the other rightside up) with my boyfriend and my initials (one in each heart) when I was sixteen years old... it seems cheezy now, but I married him ten years later and wore the ring on that day too! We've been together for almost seventeen years and I still remember the feeling I got inside when he gave me that ring!!
Best Christmas present ever would have to be the Kitchenaid Stand mixer my husband got me this year ;)

ReplyDeleteBest Christmas Present Ever......My mom is a nurse so she had to work a lot of Christmases. One Christmas, though, I think I was 8, they weren't busy on the unit and she got to come home early. She had told me she had spoken with Santa and he let her come home to be with us. I still remember that Christmas to this day.

ReplyDeleteI think my favorite Christmas gift (as a child) was when I got my first CD player. I had only two cds: Amy Grant and Carmen.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas gift is from this year and wasn't even meant to be one. My parents told the fiance and me that we get our earlier wedding date instead of moving it months further away like they had been telling us. And they have finally handed over the reins to the wedding planning. :)
ReplyDeleteI follow you on here, and on Twitter, and am about to like oh sweet joy on fb and post to Twitter.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas gift ever...definitely vacations with the family. Things come and go but memories last a lifetime.
whoa. look at all these comments! i'm slightly initimated by you just now :) but i want you to get at least 200, so i'll add that one of my favorite christmas gifts that i got every year of my childhood was an art set--the plastic kind with markers, crayons, and chalk, maybe?
ReplyDeletep.s. gift #1 is definitely my exact house party gift. awesome.
I follow your blog and LOVE it! What an amazing giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas gift that I have ever received is a tie between 2 things! The first, a bike, when I was 10. My sister and I got matching ones and we even convinced my dad to take us to the park and let us ride on Christmas day- in 3 inches of snow. The second? A tanzanite and diamond ring from my husband (who was then just my boyfriend). I still wear it almost all of the time.
