Who gave you the best Christmas gift you have ever gotten ?

This lady I met that worked at a 7-11 many years ago. We went out after her work, and hum-hum-hum for several hours. We made up a story about looking for some friend, and she went home.

Then I was stuck because my car woundn't start, and as I'm working on it, her husband drives up. He asked a lot of questions, but me - the eternal choirboy - just looked him right in the eye and maintained the story.

He knew, just knew, that there was some hum-hum-hum going on, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he just snorted in disgust and drove home.

And THAT was the best Christmas present I ever got....

Is that what you were asking?

P.S. Oh, did I say I was23 and she was 45?

I got my best ever present when i was in prison, I was really screwed up at the time, going through a rough patch, I had a close friend in there, although i got her a present, (From the prison shop) I didnt expect one back as she had no money, But christmas morning she came into my cell and give me a present wrapped up in toilet paper (Clean) and when i opened it, she had painted me a picture, she had spent ages on it and used coffee powder and water, it was really good it had a sepia effect. It must have took a lot of effort because she had nothing in her cell, so i dont know where she got the hard board (the stuff she'd painted it on) from as she was on punishment at the time. and for her to find an alternative to paint, was amazing. It really meant so much to me in there. Christmas out here is just too comercialised. In there things actually mean something when you recieve a present.

The most exciting Christmas gift I can think of right now was from a friend of my father's (who is also my elder brother's godfather). One year when we were little, he gave my brothers and me £100 each! It doesn't seem so amazing now....but it felt like a lot of money in those days....probably partly because we were a LOT younger than we are now....I think this was about 20 years ago....or maybe even longer.

I am lucky to have been given many great things over the years.

My Mom had been quite ill and it was suspected that she had stomach cancer. After all the tests were in, and the X rays, her Doctor came in and said: " Mom is going to be just fine, She has a lipoma, which is a fatty tumor, and it will never kill her, nor will she need an operation". It was the best Christmas present I ever received.

My son, spa certificate, I get a massage when ever I fly out of town @ the airport (Oxygen spa), so when my son sent me the gift certificate for the spa I was in seventh heaven, a lady need a spa day every month.

God gave me the gift of sobriety 4 years ago!
