I'm with you on preferring to watch others unwrap their gifts. My favorite present of all time? I think a ruby and diamond ring which I wear all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-80054600675999141572004-12-08T03:51:00.000-08:002004-12-08T03:51:00.000-08:00You expect people to say that giving is the best t...You expect people to say that giving is the best thing, don't you? But it is. I always put a lot of thought into the gifts I give and it gives me a huge thrill to watch the faces of those I love, unwrapping them. <br><br>Of course, the best Christmases were those of childhood because they were always filled with magic. I think the gift I was most excited with when I received it, was one of those old fashioned tape recorders. I'd spend hours pretending to be an actress speaking into the microphone with some long speech. Sad! :-)<br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-64231273692508664112004-12-08T07:48:00.000-08:002004-12-08T07:48:00.000-08:00Oh I love to give gifts too!

Pee Wee Herman was it for me! Squarepants Sponge Bob is too young. <br><br>Anyway, back in the old days they only time I received a gift or a toy was on Christmas or my birthday. So, I remember a lot of the toys I received. The best one was the Chatty Cathy. Oh I was so proud of that doll!

I received my console stereo, which I still have and The Beatles White Album.

I guess the best Christmas present is the last one, until the next one comes along. ;-) ---RobbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-86784358160806436562004-12-11T22:42:00.000-08:002004-12-11T22:42:00.000-08:00What a great idea for a Christmas tradition!

And don't ask me about my favorite Christmas present, especially after you wrote such eloquent words about the joy of giving. lol I remember being very thrilled about receiving my first bicycle, and.. Oh, there was the year we received the swingset! There was ribbon leading out to the back yard. But somehow I don't imagine that's the sort of stuff you have in mind! ;-)<br>DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
