I have had so much fun reading about your favorite gifts to give! You are all so thoughtful and creative!
While we're on the subject of Christmas gifts, I would like to know what was your favorite or most memorable gift that you received as a child?
I have to say that mine was the year I got a horse (I do live in Texas after all). We lived on a farm and after opening all the presents under the tree I was a little disappointed. My brother had opened several gifts and all I had was some candy in my stocking and a book. I didn't say a word though. I remember thinking that I didn't want to make my parents think I was ungrateful. Then my mother called me to come out to the front yard. There was my step-dad with a beautiful horse with a bow in her mane. I was thrilled to pieces!

You lived our dream...
Oh wow, what a dream come true for a little girl! A memory you will never forget!
I remember the year I wanted a watch. When I opened the package, it was a toy one. I didn't say anything except thank you, but later in the day my Dad asked me to swap my toy watch with whatever he was holding in his hand. I didn't want to give up my toy watch! Eventually he persuaded me to open the little package...yes, you guessed it...a REAL watch! I'll always remember that moment! :)

My favorite gift without hesitation was a Book entitle: The Fourteen Bears Summer and Winter.
I would spend hours looking at all the pictures and the decor in each tree house. That book is one of my favorites today...but it is out of print.
I told my husband that I would be eternally grateful if i got a copy for Christmas.
That is such a sweet Christmas memory!
I think for me it was the times spent with my brother and sister staring at the reflection of the colors from the color wheel onto our little aluminum tree.
What a wonderful Christmas that must have been !
Without a doubt it was when I got my Mrs. Beasley doll. I loved her like nobody's business! Every now and then I look and see if I can find another one. And from another Texas girl, what a wonderful gift that was for you!
Darling pic! My favorite childhood gift was when I got a kitchen set of both a sink and stove that was made out of metal and it came with accessories! I lurved it! Not surprising I still love to be in the kitchen today.
A pony! Every little girl's dream!
My most memorable gift was Care Bears roller skates! I wanted them so bad and didn't think I was gonna get them, so when I opened them I squealed and jumped all over the house. I then promptly went out into the freezing December weather and roller skated all over the neighborhood!
I'd played the flute for 7 years and was working toward eventually going to conservatory. I wanted a new flute SO BADLY but knew we couldn't afford one. Then Christmas came and there it was -- a beautiful silver open-hole flute just for me. My parents had been saving some money my grandfather had left behind and they used it to buy the flute. I screamed so loudly I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call the police. :)
P.S. Long-time reader of your blog, love it!
What a lovely picture! It's so funny! I love Christmas! It's so nice to see the childrens are so happy! Have a beautiful day!
I told my husband the first Christmas we celebrated as a married couple, I wanted a Christmas baby, he wanted clarification, did i want to get pregnant at Christmas, or have a baby then, i said i don't care..Christmas Eve 1991, i found out baby # 3 was on the way..Then on Dec. 21,1995...baby#4 was born..I got pregnant Christmas 1996, and my 9th child was born a little over 2 weeks early on Dec. 13...i guess he was right after all and clarification was in order..
I really dont remember a certain gift...I just remember the wonderful tickle y feeling ..my Mother always made Christmas.... so special...after my parents got a divorce ..things were bad so the years just blended in sadness..so after I had my own children ..I always have tried to make it extra special...nice blog...

You got a horse? Lucky. All I wanted was a monkey. Never got it.

Have a wonderful day! thanks
That was definitely a gift to remember especially with the initial disappointment.
For three years I asked for a bike. Santa finally got me one (My granny got it) and left a note saying 'be sure to share it with Nicola', myh sister. That 'note' caused more trouble than anything! By the time I learned how to ride it, it was in bits:o( I am one of ten children!!!
