This really made me think, but I think I have it!!
When I was in elementary school, I was obsessed with the movie Annie. I dressed up as Annie for two Halloweens. I had a short, curly perm hairstyle and I only wished my hair could be red!
My mom used to do a lot of sewing and she made me something very special to go with this obsession of mine. She made me a life-sized Annie and Sandy doll. Yes, she got a pattern, bought the material and made these for me! (I wish I had a photo!) She even made clothes for Annie!
When I opened this package, I remember being happy and blown away. When we went to visit my grandparents that holiday, Annie and Sandy had to come with me! I still remember strapping Annie in with a seat belt across my lap. Those dolls were so special to me for quite some time. I will never forget!

When I was a child, receiving the Barbie townhouse was my favorite Christmas gift.
As an adult, my middle son was born 12/21–my Christmastime baby.

My daughters name is Amanda . One of the names I called her was my little manda panda. For Christmas a few years ago , Amanda bought me the best gift. It’s a musical snow globe. Inside it has a panda bear and is inscribed To My Mom Love Manda Panda.

My best Christmas gift l received isn’t materialistic. It was the joy of Santa coming from the excited of putting out the milk and cookies to the most precious joy of seeing my children’s faces in the morning it was priceless. This has to be the best gift ever.
