Hey Lisa!
I think my most memorable Christmas gift was when I was 6. The only thing I wanted was baby shivers (do you remember that doll) you had to unscrew her head for her battery pack, yes kinda morbid, but then she would shiver and until you held he close enough and cuddled her. She was just like a new born baby to me. I took that doll everywhere with me. For some reason I kept that doll and gave it to my daughter 2 years ago when she turned 6. Her head has been glued on now as that broke years ago (thanks to having 3 brothers) but my daughter still loves her as much as I did! Merry Christmas.

You are the first person I have "met" that loves Wild Card by Lora Leigh. It is one of my all time favorites, and most definitely her best book.

I think I would have to say my most memorable Christmas gift would be my engagement ring. My husband and children conspired to make sure it was the last present I opened. My children were preteens and he didn't think they would be able to keep the secret but they did! It was definately a wonderful morning!

Who doesn't love free give aways! Christmas being my favorite time of year, not because of the presents. Sure they are fine but it gives me great pleasure to sit somewhere quiet and read.

Yes, my guilty pleasure. After the family is gone and DH is tucked into bed, I sneak off, sit in front of the fireplace and read until my eyeballs fall out. LOL

So yes, more books is what any reader or writer wants for Christmas. ;-)

I've had some great Christmases, but this year will be a hard one to beat - both of our grandchildren were at our house for an early celebration last week! Our Arizona granddaughter moved back to Ohio in June and our grandson visited from Seattle. There is nothing like having both grandbabies together! Seeing Christmas through the eyes of a 2 1/2 year old and an almost 2 year old was priceless!

I think the best gift is being with family...

My most special memory is the year that my dad, my aunt, my sister and I suprised my grandpa by appearing at his doorstep on the early hours of Christmas day.

We had never spent Christmas at his place, because he and my grandma have been long divorced, and the family always ends up with her. But one year, we decided no matter what, we were going to spend Christmas with him at his home in Chehalis, Washington. The only problem was, a massive blizzard hit the west coast that year. He told us not to come, not even to fly. He was completely suprised when we drove 13 hours through a blizzard to be with him on Christmas.

I'll never forget driving down the middle-of-nowhere roads, our car slipping and sliding all over the place. Tran-Siberian Orchestra blasting Carol of the Bells, and each of us, smiling and screaming as we neared out destination. I think our angels were with us that night, because we didn't get stuff in the snow until halfway up my grandpa's 500 yard driveway. We rolled our suitcases through the snow at midnight and knocked on his door to see the happiest, most shocked face in the history of faces. We all spent hours crying, because we were just so happy to be with one another. It was the greatest gift of all.

And the next day, the whole town came to dig my dad's car out of the snow! :)

I will never forget my Christmas present when I was 7 years old.... I woke up and my strawberry shortcake bike was under the tree!! It had pink & red streamers and a white basket on the front with a chime on the handle bars...it was AWESOME.. I think I rode that bike until the wheels feel off !!!! Really I think they did...lol..I use too get all my brothers toys, GI joe, hot wheels and nope I didn't mind a bit ..but that pretty little pink bike was awesome! If I could find the picture I would post my cheesy face right up here for you.
