If you opened presents this morning or last night tell me what your favorite gift was. Also tell me one thing you got someone else that came from the heart. Then you can share one gift that you really wanna take back to the store.

I love most all my gifts. We got some plates and glasses and cutlery that we collect. I also got several homeknitted woolen socks, and a blanket made by my mother in law + books and music I really like. I think the most carefully selected gifts, the one that I was really happy to find, was a CD for my mom. I'm not taking anything back except some cutlery that had the wrong design.

Sounds like you made out pretty well! I love hand-made socks, scarfs, blankets, etc! ~Happy Holidays~

I have to say that one of my favourite gifts that came from the heart was the picture frame my 8 year old son made for me. It was a simple wooden frame decorated around the age with a picture of my son in. The other one was the camcorder i received from my partner it means that i am able to record my daughters judo fights and her athletics competitions. I will also be able to video all my four boys at different events.

My favorite gift was one that only God could have given. My mother being able to be home for Christmas. It didn't have a bow. It didn't have colored paper. It came with a lot of medical equipment, paperwork and bittersweet knowledge, but it is the best one I could have received ever. I didn't have a lot of money to get gifts this year, so my gift of the heart would probably have to be caring for my mother. Although I'm getting help from hospice, and I know my daughter would help in a pinch, I can't see anyone else doing this but me. She's helped me more than once when I was down and now it's my turn. I haven't received anything I'd return to any store. I like all of them.

I am happy for you, I am sure your mom appreciates you, and its great that you have decided to take on the burden of caring for a sick loved one. Good luck, and accept help when offered! ~Happy Holidays~

I am so glad you were able to put up a Christmas tree! I think that is so much fun! A watch is pretty cool, but were you as excited as this lion on Christmas?!?!?!

I still didn't get my favorite one because my mom didn't call me. I leave far away from home so that's why. At this moment I really don't care about tangible stuff, nothing can replace that feeling when I hear my mom's voice.
