What’s the Best Gift You’ve Ever Given or Received?

By: Jacinta O’Halloran (View Profile)

As I pulled the slender box from under the tree, my mind raced with possibilities. Ripping the paper away, I found a small box of coloring pencils. “Huh?” The attached note read “you fill my life with color, now go fill yours,” and it included a certificate to a local art class, something I’d been feeling too busy to sign up for myself. I burst into tears. What’s your gift giving—or receiving—high point?

The giveaway ended Dec 17th, but you can still add your story to this chit chat. Look for more giveaways soon and stand by for an announcement about our winner.

My favorite gift was "Larry the Lion". He was a talking stuffed lion my dad gave me, and even tho he's a little worn, I still have him.

My husband was the original scrooge when it comes to Christmas. He thinks the holiday has become too commercial and has always refused to buy gifts. He always said it was ok to buy something for myselft but I've always felt a little left out. Imagine my surprise and joy last year when he surprised me with a wonderful gift. I was so surpised that I cried and he was so taken aback that it meant so much to me that I think he finally understands the feelings of joy in giving something of yourself to others.
