Mine would have to be when I was 7 or 8 I got a Snoopy doll and Belle(his sister) and they were posable and came with different clothes. It funny because I have a pic that my mom gave me, it's of me and my dolls in bed on christmas night... and there was a huge smile on my face too. That would have to be my best present as a child.

As an adult.. being with my hubby.

My favorite Christmas gift was when i was 10 years old. That was also the year I learned that there was no Santa. It was also the last Christmas that my father was alive.

I was an only child so extremely spoiled by my parents. We lived in a small house and the attic pull down stairs come down into my bedroom. I was in bed asleep when all of a sudden I heard such a clutter............ I thought Santa had crashed thru the roof! But I couldn't believe that Santa would use such language. LOL! I was afraid to fully open my eyes because if Santa knew I was awake, he might not leave me anything at all, but I was peeking thru slitted eyes.

It was Santa alright..... and I saw mama kissing Santa Claus! My dad had put together a 10 speed bike together in the attic and was trying to bring it down and it got away from him and fell down the attic stairs into my room.

No he never knew that I knew. But that bicycle was the best gift I ever got I guess because not only was it awesome and I was the only kid in the neighborhood to get one, but it was the last Christmas gift from my father alive.

My mom remarried when I was 13. I didn' have a "step-father", I had a "second dad". My real father was in my life for 10 years, and my "second dad" was in my life for 35 years. We lost him this past May........ so my second best Christmas gift is my memories of our last Christmas with him last year and the wonderful banana pie that he made me.

I was very blessed to have two wonderful fathers. With my real father it was what I received including his love as I was just a child and children love gifts. With my "second dad", it was the gifts that I gave him and to see the smile on his face.

Good thread. Thanks for starting it and reminding me that Christmas does still exist. I'm sort of co-existing this year just focused on getting my mother thru it. Here I am with no decorations in my home, but there's my mom, living all alone and her house is all decorated to he niles! LOL!

actually truth be told i never asked for anything for xmas, but i was always given everything, lol, my mom used to ask what i wanted every year and i would say, just a hug and a kiss:) this xmas my mom and sister are coming up, well for my bday cuz they cant travel on xmas, so this weekend they will be here, im so happy about that because my dad died in july and i wasnt able to go down to FL for xmas, so i think maybe this could be the best present ever

mine was a doll that had a bottle and the milk drained out of like i was really feeding her,I eevn told my friend it was a real bottle of milk and she believed me heheheheeh how bad was i lol.
