Happy Holidays

By
Real Estate Agent with The Keene Group

I just wanted to wish everyone here on Activerain a Happy Holiday and a wonderful New Year.

I have been inspired by the recent Lexus commercials. I want to know what was the greatest Christmas gift that you have every received. I also want to know what the worst gift was.....I will start it off.

I would have to say that the best gift I ever received was a Big Wheel when I was about 5. The reason that it is the best is that it is the first Christmas that I can really remember.

I remember walking out into the living and seeing the Christmas tree lite up in front of the wall with the wood paneling (Just showed the house and it still has the paneling). There in front of the tree was my black, red and yellow Big Wheel.

The worst is most defiantly when I was 12 years old. My sister who was 8 years older then me thought that I needed a photo of her for Christmas. She wrapped it up in a big box and made a big deal about her present for weeks before Christmas.

I opened up my sisters present first because I was so excited and there it was, my sister looking back at me. What a let down.

Happy Holiday's Sean! Okay, my best gift was the year I got two horses for Christmas (Yippee!!!!). The worst gift...hmmm...that's a tough one. Probably the year I got a George Forman Grill from my Mom for the third year in a row. Really, how many grills does one girl need??? Sigh.

Sisters can be so awful.  That is pretty funny though.

My best would have to be the year I got a BB gun and a sled.  Pretty sweet

Cecily--I am so jealous three George Formen grill. Those are quite possibly the greatest thing ever.

Jim--My sister has a mean streak in her. I remember my first BB gun....good times. I was kind of like Ralphy from A Christmas Storie.

My best Christmas was this year, being in my new house, all the way across the country from my disfunctional family and getting all 3 my kids new bikes. My 10 year old son learned to ride with no training wheels in about 10 minutes, I have never had a better Christmas! I dont remember them much from when I was a kid. And I can't say that I ever had a bad one. Just the same ol stuff, that is why this year was so awesome, nothing was the same, even put new lights and ornaments on the tree. Fantastic, I love change!

Kaire--I have three kids and I can certainly understand why that sounds like a great Christmas.

Sean, did your sister do that to trick you or did she just have a big ego?  Or did she really and truly believe that it was a GREAT gift!
