He was born early on Dec 22 & I got to bring him home from the hospital on Christmas eve & was able to put together Christmas for my other children. He was a very fussy baby & cried most of the night Christmas eve so I put him by the tree to see the lights. That's how the children found us Christmas morning & they always say he is the baby Santa brought (sometimes they even want to send him back to the elves :) )<br />plb8156@aol.comPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147381283207873878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422519585523562932.post-88833082901494075642009-12-02T09:13:06.460-05:002009-12-02T09:13:06.460-05:00My older brothers and sister made me a beautiful v...My older brothers and sister made me a beautiful vanity with a bench and blue satin skirt when I was about 8.

For an author (at least one like me) "it doesn't get any better than this." <br />Honestly, don't know what to say (and that almost never happens). <br /><br />Annette, my favorite gift came in 6th grade. A big GI Joe (back when they were big...bigger than Ken) with a space suit and Mercury space capsule. It was way out of my parents' budget but they found the money somehow.<br /><br />Buukluvr81, I hope to check out your site too. Trying to visit as many as I can (feel like I should be bringing cookies).<br /><br />Christy, moments like that we never forget, no matter how many years pass. We did something similar for my mother-in-law when her son was away in the navy.<br /><br />Kimmy, it's clear you have learned much about the secret of contentment already, a priceless gift in itself. <br /><br />wmmahaney, It's SO good to hear stories of unselfish husbands. What he's doing is huge. I'm sure you're mom will be deeply touched.<br /><br />Thanks again, Mark, for taking time to read the book and telling your readers about it. Hope you have a truly blessed Christmas!<br /><br />DanDan Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583973693852379312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422519585523562932.post-25590270575402172102009-11-30T14:43:37.044-05:002009-11-30T14:43:37.044-05:00My favorite gift would be hard to say.

My dad just passed away in September, and he knows how important it is for me to be with family. He is sacrificing Christmas with us (he has to work and my mom's is 14 hours away) so that I can be with my family.<br />wmmahaney(at)att(dot)netwmmahaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751015183130496225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422519585523562932.post-80826945297212180722009-11-30T12:07:40.640-05:002009-11-30T12:07:40.640-05:00I can't think of a favorite gift that stands o...I can't think of a favorite gift that stands out to me at the moment...however the thing I wanted most for Christmas this year, I got!

A few years ago, when I was living in Indiana, about a year after Mike went to prison, I had a job that made it look impossible to come home for Christmas, of course this upset my mom terribly. Not just the fact that she would not see me, but the fact that I would be alone. a few weeks before Christmas I found out that I would get a couple extra days, so I could come after all. I did not tell my mom. I got in really late and stayed at my Uncle Tim's house, and then, with my dads help I slipped in unseen and was quickly covered up by a gift wrapped box. Imagine my moms surprise when she opened her gift and found me inside. (not that I am an amazing gift, but it was SOOOO much fun!)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140372896917965236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422519585523562932.post-27284372966663144832009-11-30T10:31:35.126-05:002009-11-30T10:31:35.126-05:00Mark....this was a wonderful book!
