Besides togetherness of family & friends, the glorious smells and yummy food, the dazzling lights and smiles of cherished children- besides all these wonders…
My favorite gift of the season was:

PETROVILLE-OPOLY
Life in the Ding Dang Woods
My sister scoured my archives to create this game. Isn’t she the sweetest?

That is indeed sweet - the gifts that show some reflection about whom they’re for.
I got some really tasty cookies - handmade and hand-decorated.
Ankle-Biter ate his in the living room, and the frosting left a nice pink stain on the carpet. Now Alpha has to fire up the shampooer, hehe.
Our dog. :yahoo:
I can’t wait to play!!
Hmmm… Well, besides seeing the joy on the children’s faces, I’d say my favorite gift was my Lladro ballerina. This is my first Lladro in years and the first my husband has ever given me. It is sweet and special.
My next favorite - a stack of gift cards to my favorite stores - my sis and my parents know me well!!

Which sister? That was so sweet!
My favorite gift?
Rachel made me a necklace. I think I’ll have to go with that one.
That is too funny! When can we play? All go well with said family members? Call me! Favorite gifts…two non-fighting boys for a whole day!
Lets play!
I can’t choose a favorite, I love every single thing I got. Usually I get at least one that I secretly wrinkle my nose at and wonder who I can regift it to next year…but this year everything was perfect. 
(I must confess that I have a little special affection for my TOFOG video…
What a thoughtful gift! My favorite is my TomTom because he’s hot and he talks to me in a sexy accent.
My darling daughter does not know the difference between “or” and “in addition to”!! I have a couple new toys that have already distracted me from chores, work and sleep! A new printer/scanner/copier - yahoo! It’s up and running. But the most favorite is my new keyboard that has 1,000 musical mysteries to it. :biggrin: Those, of course, are the material things. What magic to have my family - my girls - together! Priceless memories!!
That is so cool, MommaK! We got matching lounge pants (all 3 of us), hand-made by my sister-in-law… they’re VERY loud, but very sweet, I thought.
New track lighting for my desk - I’ll be able to see soon!
What a thoughtful gift! My favorite was from my husband, he bought me everything I need to start knitting and crocheting. :lovestruck:
How very cool!! Can I come over and play?
Hmmm, my favorite gift… Probably my new bread machine. This one does so much more than my old one. I swear I could throw a few things in there and pull out a fully cooked 5 course meal! LOL!
My favorite gift was a plaque, “Vive Bene, Spesso L’Amore, Di Risata Molto” (live well, love much, laugh often).
That’s so funny! Just posted about mine. But Chanukah is still going…
That’s really neat! Count me in for game night!
My fave was a beautiful, flashy white gold tennis bracelet the Other Half got me.
what an awesome gift! kudos to your sis.
my favorite gift is a tie between my ipod nano and the permission to get a kitten (i’ve been dying to get a cat ever since i moved and my boyfriend, who is not a fan of cats, finally checked w/ our landlord and agreed that we could get one).
Cool!
I got a ihome dock for my ipod and some cool metaphysic stuff from my mom.
Too bad we didn’t get a chance to play before I left. That just means that I need to come back over sooner than later.
My favorite gift…mmmm…probably just being able to spend time with your girls. I love my nieces!
My favorite gift was time spent with friends and family. Truly and honestly. And the look in the kids’ faces when they opened their gifts. Wishing you a super Christmas season and even better 2006! Cheers! :wave:
A lever wine opener set! Easier access to my vino!
Nothing in the way of material gifts stand out, but the gift I gave myself of a peaceful, quiet, and restful day was wonderful.
Can I be the car?
My favourite gift was the tickets to the Agattha Christie play “The Hollow”.
:lovestruck: Significant Other got me one of those circle of love necklaces in white gold. LOVE IT!!!
That’s so cool!
My favorite gift was my new digital camera
Now that is an awesome totally thoughtful gift.
wow…that is THE perfect gift
. I love it.
Wow, what a thoughtful thing for your sister to do! Really, really cool.
My favorite gift was my brand new flatbed scanner/printer/photo printer/all-in-one. Now I just need to read the thick, scary manual and figure out how to use it.
