The Perfect Gift!
This morning while reading my rss feeds from blogs here and yonder, I read one about The Perfect Gift. Staff of some publishing house recounted the one gift they were given for Christmas that had that wow factor. This started me reminiscing about what gift was a genuine surprise and memory maker.
One Christmas season way back when I was 16 I wanted only one thing. I truly never thought I would get it but craved it just the same. Came Christmas morning and I opened the usual suspects, the pajamas, a book, sweater, socks, etc., but definitely not the top gift on my list. Oh, just one one more package and parents with that "cat ate the canary" look on their faces. Very carefully unwrapping the present, could it be?, hoping against hope, I can still remember the feeling of peeling that paper, and then wonder of wonder, there it was, the gift I coveted! The actual gift seems kind of funny now, it was my very own pink princess phone, one I could have in my bedroom to talk to my friends without nosy brothers listening in. But the love with which it was given has lasted a lifetime. How about you? Do you have a memory to share? We'd love to hear about your own perfect gift! |
