Aww thats cute, i remember one year my parents were dead broke i was maybe 10 and my brother was 9 and we told them we didnt want anything cause we were so down about not having a nice christmas with a tree so we just told them its okay to save there money for other needs. And on christmas morning my sister and my mom woke us both up and told us they were looking for a blue ball and a red ball that they lost to help them find it and they made us go from the back of the house to the front as soon as we got to the front of the house me and my brother both had a bike his was blue and myne was red. It was the best year ever we had those bikes for about 7 years. And its a christmas that still makes me laugh to this day.

The best gift you can give a child is your time.

Go to the dollar store and buy those clear large bulbs and decorate them to hang on the tree with the giftcard enclosed.  Also, my son got a really neat present one time...a gift card encased in a fancy picture frame. I thought that was pretty clever, too!

You know you seem to have based your idea of a good Christmas on what you received.... What did you give?\n I received three very thoughtful gifts and spent the day with my two oldest granddaughters,husband, daughter and son in law and could not have been a better day.

A perfectly wrapped up gift, with a red bow on, ready for someone to open...\n\nEdited to add that I probably thought of this because of all the adverts for Chirstmas that have started + it's my birthday soon...  if you have asked this after this time of year I would have thought of present as in today, this moment.

I was 5 and looking at a neighbor's garden.  she had planted huge sunflowers.  i remember standing underneath them and looking up.  it was so beautiful, i still remember it 40 years later.  :)  (it reminds me of the painting by Monet.  the little child in the sunflower garden.)\n\nwhat is your fondest childhood memory?  :)\n\n\nluvs

My fave cute gift is a gift certificate for say In N Out or McDonalds or something and a sweet Christmas card. They come in $5 increments, so it would be cheap and something they would actually use.

I would get her some cds of a band she likes and then make something like a family tree to make her feel important- my parents did that for me when I was 12 and since I have made one for my children for when they turn 12- also, electronics are ruling the scences today. Dolls, .....

Laying in the crib with my twin sister.  I was probably 2 years old but limited or no vocabulary.  I remember waking up - I may have had a nightmare - seeing her laying there next to me and having a great sense of contentedness.\n\nAlso when I was two, I remember getting stung by a bee and having my mom care for me.  She placed me in front of the television to watch Jetsons and waited on me with some tasty snacks.  I remember liking having her baby me.

i was around 5 when my parents told me about santa, i actually found it out on my own during christmas dinner.  santa came to drop off gifts and i noticed that santa's shoes looked alot like my uncle jonny's so i blurted out "why is santa wearing uncle jonny's shoes?!)   my parents being mortified took me in another room and had the "talk" with me.\ni don't really remember this too well but my parents make sure they bring it up every year at christmas time!

It'll be the 'little' things that count!  Hand-made, home-made anything by the kids is a big hit!!  Most of all I think the greatest gift is some 'mum time'.  An hour or two to do her favourite thing - bubble bath, read book/magazine, whilst having someone else doing the chores - BLISS!!!

I always try to give my mom a gift that she will appreciate like gold earrings because that's her favorite.  When it comes to me, It's either i don't get anything or if i get lucky, i guess a flower.  Although this year my five year old son made me a hat and I was so happy.  He did a good job and I'm very proud of him.

When my kids were born.  That's more than one but they were equally happy moments.

When we were younger we used to spend alot of time with my great aunt and uncle. My brother would always help my uncle out in the garage and I would always help my aunt with dinner. After dinner they would take us for ice cream, and then we would go for a walk to watch the sun set. Then we would spend the late evenings sitting around the table playing cards until bed time.\n\nMy favorite toy would have to have been my Barbie soda shop. It dispensed real cream soda for one whole day until we made a mess and my mom stopped allowing us to use anything but water in it.
