I had the best Christmas present ever: my husband! After dinner last Saturday while we were watching TV he said he didn't feel well and kept rubbing his chest. I called 911 at 7 pm and when the FD medics came (at 7:03)they said he was having a heart attack! They rushed him to the local hospital where we learned that he had a 98% blockage in one artery which they put a stint in. He is now fine and you wouldn't know anything had happened to look at him. We feel very blessed. Thank goodness he paid attention to those ads in the media listing the symptoms and did not ignore them. My NY wish for all is health and happiness (and knowing when to get help when needed).

My favorite gift was having my son & DGD here!

Where do I begin....my DH listened to me and didn't go tooooo overboard for a change. The bills after Christmas take all the joy right out of it for me. He got me a wonderful ScanPan that I have wanted (but he didn't buy me the whole set. Yay! He can be trained. My DD painted me two pictures, one for my office and one for my studio. My DS who is a chef in Atlanta did chef surveys for Heinz for almost a year, getting $5 Amazon gift cards for each one he took. He saved up and bought me a Kindle and I simply love it.

We had 25 people for dinner at our house and it was simply chaotic, but when it got too overwhelming, I kicked everyone out of the kitchen except my husband and we wrapped things up quickly.

The only downside was that our oldest son and his wife could not be with us.

A $100.00 gift card to Kelly's Pins and Needles, a local quilt shop. Also I got a short arm quilting machine on frame a few weeks ago, tho I have not used it yet.

My favorite "gift" was having both my mom AND my dad together with my kids and grandkids for Christmas. They divorced 21 years ago when my oldest son was 6. Dad was very bitter and would not go anywhere that Mom was. My dad has changed a LOT this past year...even started going to church and studying the Bible. When I offhandedly asked him to join us, he accepted! It was a WONDERFUL day!

I received two big gift cards from both my kids for Connecting threads. Boy I had fun last nite ordering all the new threads and sets that I did not have and other things I have been wanting. I love CT!! I did have a second favorite gift and that is the blessings of having healthy loving children and husband and many of Gods Blessings!!!!

OOPS HIT SEND TWICE!!

The best gift this Christmas for me was seeing the faces and hearing the screams of my two (4 yr old) Granddaughters when bells started to ring, door opened and SANTA walks in and gave each one a special gift...things like that make Christmas...at least for me!

my favorite was a new electric blanket. It's turning very cold and my old bones really enjoy getting into a warm bed.
