This year my younger daughter was expecting a purse from her older sister. She'd been talking about that purse for over a month and was so excited for Christmas to finally arrive. Unknown to her, I had gotten her the purse instead. So, when we were opening presents, she reached for the large gift bag addressed from her sister. Smiling very widely, she looked into the bag, then said, "Ohhhh! Towels!" and started pulling out the kitchen towels she had also asked for. The disappointed look on her face was priceless, but she tried to make it sound like those were the best towels in the world. The rest of us were howling with laughter. When we could all breathe again, we let her open the package from me that had the purse in it. For the rest of the day, someone would look at her and say, "Ohhh, towels!" and then we'd all crack up again. That's one Christmas she won't live down for a long time.

It's so great to laugh with your family!
