What Was Your Favorite Christmas Present or Holiday Gift?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. SuzyPuppyChese (567) 5 years ago

If you don't celebrate Christmas, please feel free to share your favorite holiday gifts. This year I got many nice things -- mostly chocolate lol! -- but I think my favorite thing was a jar of maraschino cherries.

The reason I loved the gift was that my sister got it for me. We remember so many happy Christmasses together, and every year I had a little jar of maraschino cherries in my stocking. I got all misty-eyed -- imagine getting all sentimental over a jar of Safeway cherries! (Well, and it was a big one too!)

Think of all the red dye #5 I have received in my lifetime.

My favorite gift was a set of Rachael Ray cooking pans. They are really nice and should last forever.What a great gift from your sister. Little things that touch our hearts are the greatest gifts of all.


myLot reputation of 85/100. oneandonemakesix (23975)  5 years ago

which set did you get, my husband and I have been tossing around buying new cooking pans, but one of her sets was an enamel set, and we did not want something that would stain and get ruined easily.

Are they enamel? Or are they non stick, or aluminum pans?

Mooch

That is a wonderful gift to a cook! My sister got a nice little stool for my mom and I to scoot arond the kitchen on. We both have pain problems when we stand too long, and the stool will come in handy in there.

I think my favorite gift was a bracelet that was all little picture frames. so i can put a bunch of pictures of our kids in it and wear it. I like stuff like that.

That sounds really special, I like that kind of stuff too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SuzyPuppyChese (567)  5 years ago

I remember Safeway, didn't know they still existed. lol I get sentimental over the same kinda stuff lol. However, I have to admit my favorite present this year, has to be my new digital camera and accessories, one because I have always loved photography, and most importantly, what my s/o said when I unwrapped it 'you once said that you loved photography and used to do a lot of it, and won some competitions.' Just shows he does listen lol, because I guess I said that at some point in time over the past 3 years lol but I don't remember it. I also loved what my oldest daughter gave me, a gift card to Micheal's because she knows how much I love scrapbooking, and she knew I would be on leave til March, and a set of candles in my favorite scent. I did get other nice gifts but those top the list.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SuzyPuppyChese (567)  5 years ago

Oh is Safeway out of business in some places? Here in California there are huge ones everywhere and in big towns there are usually a few different branches.

Your camera & accessories sound great! I gave my nieces scrapbooks years ago, I wonder if they still have those? I like scented candles, my daughter gave me some mroe lavender ones this year in the tealight size. They are very calming.

there is no dispute about this one, I only got one gift....

My husband got me a CD for Christmas, but inside that CD was a ticket to the George Strait Concert on Jan. 26.

So that ticket was and is my favorite gift...

he totally surprised me......

Mooch

I can understand about the cherries, Suzy. Every year I get my uncle some chocolate covered cherries, and he loves them. I've been doing it for years. It's such a simple thing but it makes him so happy, and I suspect it has less to do with the cherries.

The one favorite thing I got for Christmas this year was being able to talk with dear friends.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SuzyPuppyChese (567)  5 years ago

I know, friendship is a warm puppy lol. Oops, that was "happiness"!

By the way, I got chocolate covered ones too! haha

how funny about the cherries, I think those kind of sentimental gifts are the best. my brother would always come home from school (in the 70's) and make himself a HUGE bowl of popcorn, no one else was permitted to partake of it. He used the same bowl every day - mom's largest butter print cinderella style pyrex bowl in turquise blue with white dutch people and roosters and wheat bundles all over it. Mom got the set as a new bride in the early 1960s. I was able to find the same bowl on ebay one year in very good condition...so for my brother's gift I sent him the bowl done up like a gift basket with gourmet popcorn kernals flavored oil and his favorite popcorn topping lawrey's seasoned salt.

he loved it! dont think I could afford to ship it these days glad I was able to do it when I did.


myLot reputation of 98/100. SuzyPuppyChese (567)  5 years ago

That sounds like a really neat nostalic bowl. That is great you found that! The happy childhood memories mean so much. Especially when you can't be with those people all the time. I have a Spode pitcher my mom used when I was a kid, which was her mama's, and I plan on passing that down through generations. I hope it is never broken.

my mother has her grandmother's engagement ring that I am really hoping she will pass along to one of my daughters

You're going to laugh with my favourite gift I received for Christmas and that was Shrek 3 DVD! I loved that film, I have all of them now in my collection, as well as Harry Potter & The Order of The Phoenix, thankfully I didn't get too many sweets, although I was fortunate to get some great presents and it is the thought that counts! (ok you can stop laughing now!) Shrek is brill!


myLot reputation of 98/100. SuzyPuppyChese (567)  5 years ago

I am not gonna laugh atcha, surprise surprise! I also think Shrek is great, but I have none of the DVDs. I envy you!

You mean ever? Santa got me a record player when I was 5. I also got the sound track for Sleeping Beauty, the first movie I ever got to go to with out my parents just weeks before. I remember that year so well. I had it fir a long time after. I still had it when I was 12 and we moved unexpectedly and had to leave about everything.
My mom got us a box of Chocolate covered cherries each year until the year she passed away. She always wrapped it and put it from Santa. That is such a great memory. If my sis got me a box of them, I too would be misty eyed!


myLot reputation of 98/100. SuzyPuppyChese (567)  5 years ago

Ever since we stopped getting Christmas stockings, the gift had turned into a box of chocolate covered cherries. This is the first year I have gotten *both*! Oink oink. I look like an oinker, too. Oh man, I am going to have major weight to lose.

Hi friend just mow I have responded to your other post. Christmas is not my festival religion wise, but that does not make any difference for me. I have several Christian friends here in my city and in the places where I served for long 35 years as college professor. Yes we had a feast, see this, http://www.mylot.com/w/di...
