priesthoodpower Posted December 29, 2015 Report Posted December 29, 2015 This was definately the year of the BEST. However it wasnt in the receiving but in the giving. My wife saw a gift idea on pinterest and told me she wanted the same thing for her.The husband put 12 envelopes in a box and wrapped it. In each envelope was a date night activity for each month. When my wife opened her gift and saw the 12 envelopes she cried. It was emotional for me too thinking that I have been so busy last year with work that we barely even got any date nights done. Sad to think I had to gift wrap my time for her, but glad that its set in stone and planned out for 2016. pam, Backroads and Connie 3 Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted December 29, 2015 Report Posted December 29, 2015 I got to spend Christmas with my 89 year old grandmother, an aunt I'm super close too and and another aunt that I sadly, don't get a chance to see much. Best. Christmas. Ever. (Seriously, did you ever get a chance to see your 89 year old Memere flirt with a waiter? Priceless) Quote
pam Posted December 29, 2015 Report Posted December 29, 2015 Mine wasn't a gift though in some ways it was. Since we celebrated Christmas Eve this year I had all of Christmas day to do nothing but watch movies and craft. It was the most heavenly of days. Working 2 jobs I rarely have the time to just do something for me that I enjoy for hours on end. It seriously was THE most relaxing day I've had in years. Backroads 1 Quote
Palerider Posted December 29, 2015 Report Posted December 29, 2015 My wife bought ourselves a Christmas gift. It's a old style looking radio with am and fm ....it will play cassette tapes and CD's and it has a turntable right on top. We can get those LP albums out and play them again. pam 1 Quote

NeuroTypical Posted December 29, 2015 Report Posted December 29, 2015 My daughter gave me a homemade My Little Pony tie clip to wear to church. It's ok - she gave me Big Mac, and he's a boy pony, so I won't be girly. Backroads and Rhoades 2 Quote

zil Posted December 29, 2015 Report Posted December 29, 2015 I got a DoohicKey - literally. (Some friends from work saw it in the store and got it for me.) Backstory: When we add test data to the software we're developing, we all have our styles - one friend uses the names of various candies, I use words like doohickey, thingamabob, whatchamacallit, doohickeymabob, etc. - so it was a a great joke. Now I just need a bottle of Henry Weinhard's to test it on... Quote

Guest Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 Christmas Eve, my husband and I both woke up sick over a need we needed to meet that day with no means to meet it. An hour after I woke up, my sister, acting on a prompting, brought over exactly what we needed. It was a miracle we're all thankful for. Quote
JojoBag Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 My wife had trouble getting her green card and had to go back to Australia for a few months. I thought I'd be without her for several months, but Santa got me a ticket back to her. Now I'm complete. Vort and mirkwood 2 Quote

NeuroTypical Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 After the family did a thorough study of Festivus, the 11 yr old and I decided to begin a splinter-holiday roughly based on it. We call it "Chimsus" (which is what she used to call Christmas when she was 3 and learning to talk). The tenets of Chimsus are:- The passionate screams (usually of terror).- The physical altercation, usually large green exercise-ball based. - The Chimsus Miracle - an act of chucking the ball that should have resulted in damage to something in the house, yet somehow didn't. (I mean really - when we bounced that thing off the computer monitor, it didn't even tip over or break. It's a Chimsus miracle!) Quote
