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.

when I was 14 I got a stereo with a tape player and I just stuck a tape in and taped Our Christmas presents openings which is not all that exciting but My Mothers voice is on it and My Mother died 5 years later and that is the only thing I have that has My Mothers voice on it...and there is only a little bit and I just found that tape by change last year and almost threw it away but God had Me listen and boy did the tears flow I am now 49 and I still miss Her every day...SHe died very unexpectly with no warning...so give Your Mother a huge hug....they are extremely special and a Special gift from GOD I miss MINE ALOT...

Best Christmas gift was the Birth of my son:)
The best gift I ever gave was when my son was 8. I was working, so the extra income allowed me to buy hima real ATV (4-wheeler). I will never forget the look on his face when his Dad & I told him Santa left something awesome outside for him!

The best Christmas gift I ever received was Christmas of 1990 when all three of my sons came home for Christmas. My middle son died three weeks later, so the memory of that last time that we were all together will always be precious.

My gift giving high point was when I gave my little girl a Dance with me Barbie Doll. She had wanted one forever and I got one for her last Christmas. I won't ever forget the smile on her face when she opened that gift !

Best gift was a little kitty. She was a little earlier than Christmas...but, her cat Mom didn't want to take care of her anymore and I became the Mom. That was 11 years ago!
