Best Christmas Gift I ever received was a new tennis racquet and tennis bag that my husband bought me online, it was so special because I was hinting about the tennis racquet I wanted for months and months and there it was Christmas morning under the tree waiting for me.

I was so surprised that he actually was listening. HO HO HO

I don't know if it is actually the best, but for my age there have been many LOL I will say one of the only ones I really remember is stuffed bear. It is about 10 inches by about 7 inches tall and stands on all 4 legs. He is brown and his head moves. Oh yeah I got this when I was about 4 years old. LOL I still have it and my children were never allowed to play with it but my grands were LOL
I would have to say it is the best.

My Best Present was a Used Car

My car had blown an engine and I did have funds for repairs or another car
My bosses at that time were getting ready to buy a new car and instead
of training in their old car - Gave it to me - A few tears flowed day

My best gift, as far as being surprised and thrilled was a bicycle when I was 12. Money was always tight, growing up, and I didn't think I would get one. I was the only one in my circle of friends without one, so it meant a lot. No more having to sit on the handle bars for me !

THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT I EVER RECEIVED, WAS MORE LIKE A CHRISTMAS
MIRACLE. IN OCT.OF 94, MY MA, HAD A MASSIVE STROKE. BY THE TIME WE
GOT HER TO THE HOSPITAL, SHE HAD FELL INTO A COMA. MY FAMILY AND I
WERE TOLD SHE WOULD NOT SURVIVE THE NIGHT, BUT GOD HAD ANOTHER
PLAN. MY MA, SURVIVED THAT NIGHT, BUT REMAINED IN A COMA.
WE WERE AT HER BEDSIDE PRAYING TO GOD EVERYDAY, TO HEAL HER.
ON CHRISTMAS DAY,ALMOST TWO MONTHS LATER, JEHOVAH GOD BLESSED MY FAMILY,
AND ALLOWED MY MOTHER TO WAKE-UP, ALITTLE DAMAGED,BUT STILL ALIVE
AND SHE REMAINED ALIVE FOR ALMOST ANOTHER DECADE!
NO PRESENT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED, TOPPED THAT!
THANK YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER FOR ALL THE UNDESERVED KINDNESS
YOU HAVE SHOWN ME AND MINE, I'M A BELIEVER!

Probably the best Christmas gift I have received was a heavy duty electric mixer back when I was doing a lot of baking. No more struggles getting those thick batters mixed after that
