Can you stand a long post? The best gift was my son, Kevin, who was born 3 weeks before Christmas 15 years ago. (Yes, Megan, you are a presious gift too!) Kevin was my first and we went through so much to have him. Nothing beats that gift!
As for worst, the very next year we bought our house in December and we were so broke! We decided to set a limit on each other of $25, just to have a little something to open Christmas morning. well, I shopped so carefully and managed to get my husband a coat that was on sale and then half off, etc. so it was only $25. He got me 2 presents. I opened the first one and it was a fake pointsetta plant. I was like "you got me a pointsetta?" Oh well, what is in the second package....a second pointsetta. It was then I realized, JC Penny's had them 2 for $25, right in side the door. He walked in, saw them, thought "cool, I'm done" and that was it.
We had years of laughs each Christmas when I would put them out and make a big deal about my beautiful plastic pointsettas. I think he finally threw them away when I wasn't paying attention. And, yes, he's gotten MUCH better at gift giving....this year I got diamond earrings! |
