    Your best Christmas gift?

    What is the best Christmas gift you ever recieved as a child. Remember when it was MAGIC! When we still believed!

    Let's tell each other. Just thinking about it this morning brings back amazing memories! :h

    Mine was a "Walking Doll" that I named Susie. (I named all my baby dolls Susie! LOL) I got her for Christmas in the first grade. OK, that was 1960. She was nearly as tall as me.

    But the sweetest of the memories is that my mother always made us matching dresses. Any special occasion, I would have a beautiful dress, made with loving care by my mom's hands and so would Susie. She even had a Brownie Uniform and beanie.

    Great memory, what is yours?

    Hugs :l

    Best

    Your best Christmas gift?

    Cute story Best....you don't have a photo do you? We could have a spot the difference competition tomorrow....

    ....mine has equally fond memories, but is not quite as mentally a photogenic picture as yours! One year (the only year my brother and I got xmas presents due to the drink probs in our house) it was MAGIC ....we never expected anything, and yet as we walked downstairs on chrimbo morn, there in the front room were two BIG......(which is always important when you're a kid) presents on the floor.

    We were ecstatic! Opening the appropriately labelled boxes we took one look at each other and pretty much agreed to swap there and then....My brother ended up with my 'little mamdam beauty case' that was just the biz for carrying round his Dinky Toys, and I got an action man tank, that, after the gun turret was ripped off, was excellent for sitting on and sailing down the huge hill at the back of our house with my friend for hours......happy days, I think I still have the circular indentation in my buttocks even now!

    As I say, that was the only xmas we received anything...but it kept us believing for years afterwards I think we just supposed that Santa was a trifle forgetful most of the time

      I had two favorite gifts - received in different years - my Madame Alexander baby doll. She was the most beautiful thing I ever saw and when I finally got her, I was too afraid to pleay with her. I used to take her out of her box once in a while and hold her but I was too afraid to play with her. I still ahve her, in her original box and she is as beutiful as ever!


      The second was my 10-speed bike. Wow. It was light blue and my ticket to freedom!

          I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship me

            I always had tons of gifts but the best memory I have is of my dad lining up all the kids and we marched as a parade. Another great memory is when I was out 10 I fed pop rocks to my little cousin who was about 2 and I still crack up as I think of them exploding in her mouth. And I fed her more and more for sheer delight! We still talk about it. Just hysterical to me. I liked the time too when my kitty cliimbed up and slept in my Barbie house.

              My Schwinn cruiser. All glossy black with fat white-walls and a leather saddle. I even had foot pegs on the front wheel for the comfort and convenience of the rider sittin' on my foam-covered handlebars.
              Ahh, freedom on wheels and pedals!
              Yah, I know Moderation; I pass it every day on my way to Excess.

                  Great topic, mine was a captain kirk doll, a smash up derbie car and a push bike. I think I was about 8 or 9 though the old brain cells have had quite a battering. Kim
