What was your best Christmas present?

Question

Mine was my first child. A precious baby girl named Morey Alexis Noelle Springuel, that was born on December 22nd, 2007. She is sleeping next to me right now, and she looks like a little angel. She is so perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas. So my question is, what was your best Christmas present this year. It doesn't have to be a material thing, like a movie or book. It can be anything, like a hug or a kind word.

Answer 1

Spending four days with my little boy and seeing the joy on his face Christmas morning.

Answer 2

2007 has been a very bad year financially. We were unable to purchase any gifts for anyone, including my children (ages 12, 16 & 17). Yet I have to say that I did receive the best gift in the world, and that is the love of my family, friends AND my children. Everyone has been so understanding! To be "fair" we tried to let everyone know that we would be unable to purchase gifts this year. Everyone was understanding, and perhaps the most amazing thing is that my children were more than understanding as well. We spent Christmas day together just talking, eating, playing games and having a great time. What better gift could someone ask for?

Answer 3

I've come to realize that Christmas presents aren't what's important. Really realize it.

The best "present" I got this year was being with my family. I spent a lot of time making things to give for presents - and the presents I most enjoy are the ones people have made and put thought into.

In future, I'm going to try to exemplify the idea that being together the celebrate the reason for the season is what's most important - just watch the news and see how materialism has ruined this holiday season.

Answer 4

First off, congratulations for your new found motherhood and baby Morey. Very pretty name and quite unique. Good for you. Parenthood is the ultimate joy, so it is pretty hard to top that gift for your following Christmas's.

My best Christmas gift was the look on my 21 month old daughters eyes when she saw all her presents, followed closely by the look and glee she expressed after opening all her toys and clothes....
I think next year I will forgo buying gifts for everyone else and concentrate on her, just so I can see those eyes and hear those squeals of joy again and again.
Then again...by this time next year I will have an 8 month old as well.

Answer 5

Oh congradulations, a gift from God! She has a very pretty name too.Well my best Christmas gift came on Christmas Eve from my doctor being told that he thought I would be okay! I'm 12 years old and I have these lumps on the back of my leg that and I just get various bruises that come and go that could be cancer. So I went to urgent healthcare and the doctor thought the lumps were cysts instead of cancer. But he isn't sure and they didn't show up on my x-rays. But he said he thought I would be okay and scheduled me for an MRI and ultrasound Jan. 3.

But I really like the digital camera my mommy got me! (Thanx ma! :)

But if I had got it the best present I would have EVER gotten would have been a word with my father or a xmas card from him or something. I've never known him. And he never calls or anything, nd I I always wished for it and think about him and how things would be different if i knew him daily.

Answer 6

I want to say that my best material present was the computer that mom and dad got me (I'm 14), but I really don't think it is. Because when I opened the present from my aunt I was amazed. It was the very hooded sweatshirt that I was going to by a month ago, but at the time I didn't have enough money. Then when I went back to buy it, there were none left, so I was pretty happy when I opened it and saw that sweater.

Answer 7

My Christmas present looks like trash compared to yours! She sounds so cute! Anyway, since I'm so jealous, one of my best Christmas presents was my new laptop that I'm using currently! I love it, though I'm still working out kinks that come from switching computers and the fact that I now have Windows Vista (which I don't know anything about) instead of Windows XP. I basically only wanted a laptop because I do so much writing and its aggravating to go on road trips and stuff and then get this really great idea for a story and only be able to write half of it down on a piece of paper so that I can type it later. It's horrible because when I sit down to type either a) I lost the sheet of paper or b) since I only wrote half of it down, I can generally start it, but then I can't remember the ending that I had in mind...anyway, I really hope that Morey turns out great. I wish you all the best with your daughter, and I must tell you that my husband and I have tried for kids, but our only option currently is to adopt. I just don't really want to do that, though. You might be able to understand that, though, right? Anyway, I wish you the best! =)

Answer 8

I had a couple of good gifts this year. One was the our church's Christmas Eve service. The youth who performed were fantastic as well as the skit that was performed. The entire service provided some laughs and some seriousness. It was a great combination and was one of the best Christmas Eve services in a while.

Now for materialistic things. I got a new cell phone a couple days before Christmas and I got a new Digital Camera on Christmas. The cell phone I needed as my old one just wasn't working like it used to. The new digital camera was a good surprise because My camera was getting old (3 years) but now my dad can have that camera because he had loved that camera since they bought it for me.

All in all it was a good time spent with family.

But my best gift overall was spending time with my family, at christmas diner with my grandparents, and parents.

Oh, by the way, congrats on your little girl. She was way better then any of my gifts and I hope you have many happy christmases with her yet to come. when she wakes up give her a hug from me:)

Answer 11

I got to spend it with my best friend and her five awesome children. I could not have received a better present then seeing their eyes light up and their faces get big smiles as they opened up their toys and presents from Santa and their parents. There is just something about the joy in a child to make any day that much better and any Christmas that much more memorable.
