Best Christmas gift you ever got?

[DD]

Tangible or intangible.....

Mine had to be a clay whale tail that my darling husband sculpted himself. Since he's generally not real crafty, it really touched me. I still have it. It would be one of the things I grab in a fire.

Time well spent with my best friend!

 

[Miss Kitty]

The best gifts I receive are the ones my kids make for me. Framed photos, CD's, sweet handmade notes.

But, HMM is one of the most clever gift presenters around! One year, many moons ago, he took an old 8X10 teacher photo of me and stuck diamond stud earrings in the ears!!! It was such a shock to open and see myself in a box, that the earrings were a BONUS!

My favorite thing at Christmas as always been the stockings. My mom was very clever and I have carried on the tradition. Even with 23 and almost 21 yo kids, the stocking is the most fun! Now we all receive lottery scratch off tickets (even PawPaw) once a year. FUNN!

My kids LOVE their stockings too! My son has a note laying in our fireplace right now that reads: ( I'll go get it)

Stocking list
toothbrush
bublebath
santa's cole gum
bild a bear kit

To: Santa
From: Dylan

P.S. Trust me I have been good


He's never written a stocking list before. As you can see, he's gotten these items in his stocking in year's past. Not sure why he felt the need to remind Santa. This year I may add some scratch offs for them, I think they'd love that.

That is way too cute!!! How old is your son? That is the FIRST stocking list I have ever heard of!

He's nine and in third grade. A little odd but a great kid. ))
I have a little something for Miss Kitty. ( don't tell SS, and please buy her something nice for C'mas.)

The only appropriate response to something like that, HMM, is:

I raised an "odd" one as well! He is now turning 21 and I realized God sent him to me for a reason. He makes me think about things in an entirely different way!!! I LOVE that boy!

Love the Kitty Kurrency!!!!

Miss Kitty currency --- how fun!

Your son sounds very cool, how interesting a "stocking list".
