Merry Christmas everyone. May we all remember that the greatest gift we will ever receive is the gift of the holy ghost.

My best Colorado Christmas gift would be the delivery of a fresh, delicious homemade Krautburger made by the descendants of German-Russian immigrants who settled in Northern Colorado.

I'm hoping to get my best gift this year. My daughter is fostering a 10 week old Rottweiler puppy for the animal rescue center and I am really smitten with the little guy. I told her that I would love to get him for Christmas. My daughter says I can't have him because we already have five dogs and the whole point of fostering is to give the dog away to a good home at the end of the process.

Does a Colordo cow pie differ from a Wisconsin one?

Funny, my best gift was a horse, too. When I was twelve my father took me out to visit a friend of his, who had 25 acres and some horses. They put me up on one and I rode it around for a few minutes. I didn’t really respond; I was so entirely devoid of hope that I would ever own a horse in my life that I was numb to excitement.

Then my father asked me if I’d like to have that horse. I can still remember the incredulous joy; since then I’ve never used the word “joy” as easily as others do. There was such incomprehension that this wonderful thing, which I had longed for since I was three, had actually happened.

It changed my life forever, taking me in different directions and introducing me to places, people, and experiences I would otherwise never have encountered.

As a kid I begged for one of those electric vibrating NFL football games (1970s Sears Wishbook).

That thing sucked SO BAD. What an embarrassing fraud of a piece of poop of a toy.

Worst: A puke, Golden Rod colored, sweater with dark blue snow flake pattern.

Best: A toss up between a Crossman Model 760 pump BB/Pellet gun (I was 10 years old) and a Marlin 22LR rifle with Tasco 4X scope (I was 14 years old).

Worst gift - a set of tires. I was only 20. Who wanted tires?!

Best gift - a set of tires. That I couldn't afford. Now I'm 59 and see what a great gift they really were. Along with a bag of Trim nail clippers, chapsticks, soap, shampoo.....

Tried using as a doorstop, but it attracted ants...

I got my best Christmas present ever this year, at DH's office party. His boss gave everyone kindles. As I am the reader in this house, I've already inherited it and purchased a fuschia leather kindle cover for it.

Worst present : Can't think of anything bad enough to be memorable, unless you want to count the "health care reform" bill (count the oxymorons in those 4 words).

[Chief901]

Best: The Birth of Jesus

Worst: Nothing

For the first few years after we got married, my wife would give me these oddly insulting self-help books. Stuff with titles like ‘Communication Skills for the Socially Retarded’ or ‘How Not to Screw up Your Kids the Way Your Dad Did.’ I always smiled nicely and donated them to Goodwill after a couple weeks.

My worst gift: A turkey from congress on Christmas eve.

My best: Too numerous to mention.

Worst gift ever received......big, fake nugget gold wrist watch, (think rapper style) my mother in law I guess either hates me or really thinks I would like this.
