    my favorite gift was that my mom said that OF COURSE it was ok to bring the dogs for christmas, so i can sleep over one night. and that dispite her allergies. the dogs had a blast, especially since they haven't really been out much lately.
     
    oh, and of course the awesome high boots my mom got for me. i was seriously tempted to wear a mini skirt in minus temperatures just to show them off...[:D]

    Wow!!!  That's a nice rock!!

    We've got a HUGE family, so our Christmas gatherings aren't over yet.  We're still giving and getting gifts.  However, I know what my favorite gift is GOING to be --- Cheyenne!!!!  We're hopefully getting her on Friday, and she'll be Dakota's half-sister.  We've been ready for another Eskie for months!!!  Here's a picture of her and a picture of four of the six puppies (look at the pose of the puppy in the upper left!):

    Sometimes it's a 'thing' that is the best and other times it's the effort someone went to and sometimes it's just the presence of someone.  But I'm glad someone started this thead -- I think the best thing is to really THINK about it all.  Reading what each one says kinda makes some of us think "wow -- and I thot I had it rough this year" or "yeah, that means more to me than the expensive stuff".

    Well, my neighbor taking the trouble to bring me a present (I hardly ever get presents) really touched me. That was so nice. BUT----

    I just got off the phone with my son and he gave his girlfriend an engagement ring for Christmas! So now, what's that, THREE Christmas engagements? Congratulations to us all!

    They want a Fall wedding, so I guess I'll put off my Spring trip to New Mexico for now....Oooooo, maybe I can even drive down in August so I can take Sofia with me.

    My dad, who has diabetes and leukemia, and has never taken good care of himself, has gone into kidney failure. There's no reason yet to think that this was his last Christmas, but that possibility is in our minds. So, the very best part of the weekend was spending some fun time with him.

    And my video iPod [;)]

    I think my favorite gifts are a pair of tempur-pedic memory foam slippers from DS #2 (very comfy) and a light my sister sent me.  It's covered with little white Christmas lights w/reflectors around the bases of them and it's about the size of a medium grapefruit.  It has a hook for hanging, but for now I've got it sitting on the mantel.

    I received a few nice material gifts from my DH, and my family.  But, the best gift I got this year was my DH returned home for Christmas, a day earlier than expected, in one piece!
