    The best Christmas gift I ever received was a quilt that my mom made from fabric that I brought back home with me from Tanzania. It is such a great way to commemorate my trip and remember the people who gave me some of that special, unique fabric.

    Is it cliche to say it was a basketball goal? It was such a defining moment of childhood and lead to so many cousin team basketball tournaments.

      but best gift ever was my first bicycle (in other words, the freedom it gave me)

  55. Kate Belgum says

    December 17, 2014 at 3:27 PM

    I was a kid and my grandmother (who loves to shop from catalogs) got me these stilts that were like a foot tall. This was a time in my life where I thought it would be really cool to have a broken bone simply for the cast for my friends to sign, so when I opened them I thought they were crutches and the coolest gift ever. Stilts are cool… but I had to fake a smile when I realized they weren’t a vehicle for the cripple.

  70. Becky says

    December 17, 2014 at 3:05 PM

    I’m pretty sure my awesome brick of a cell phone in 9th grade was the best Christmas present ever. You know, before texting was even a dream of a possibility. Those were the days.

    December 17, 2014 at 3:04 PM

    My Grandmother gave me my Grandfather’s Scottish Rite Ring she bought for him in 1948 when my mother was born. She also paid my initiation dues so I could join the group and wear the ring…
