You best Christmas ever.

I have so many best Christmases...but if I chose one, it would have to be the year that I thought I would be all alone and suddenly the army decided to send my husband back home from Iraq a month early. So at 2 am Dec. 24, 2005 after a year apart, I went to the base and watch as my husband and a few others marched onto the field. Then when they said, go meet your families, I seem to remember running on air to get to him. I had not even put up a tree because I was alone and decided not to, so with him home and the next day being christmas...I hung a decoration on the closet doorknob and we put our gifts under it. So my best Christmas is the year I got my husband as a gift from Iraq and the start of the Christmas doorknob. He is back in Iraq again and he will not be home for any of the holidays, so I will close my eyes and bring him to me in my dreams.

Years after the gift, my daughter revealed that the best gift she ever got - the coolest gift, was a huge box of books that I gave her. I started in August buying books at the library for 10 cents eacha nd just collected and filled the box. She loved to read so she was thrilled when she opened the box, but years later told everyone that was the best gift ever. That made my christmas that year the best ever!

I think one of the best Christmas ever was when my husband then boyfriend was on leave from the Marines and saw our daughter who was three months for the first time

For christi people only one festival that call christmas it is 25th December.That must be beautiful like Diwali festival so many lights are there in whole house star.Sweets making for each other.

At first can you tell me about this game? I would really like to buy some game also for christmas since I love to play it when outside is cold and you can be all together at home. My best christmas was probably the last year we i was in my parents house with my fiancee, my brother, mum and dad. we weren't home for long time, just for two days, but if felt so good to be at home. also we were at christmas market in Budapest and it was very nice. Hope those christmas would be nice too, although I will miss my family.

there is a happy time that I keep together with my girl.oh,she's lovely!

That is the kind of Thanksgiving my family has had for many years, like at least the last ten. Whoever can come does, we eat wonderful food, watch family movies, play board games or color or sing or listen to music. This year one of the scheduled activities is to go through old pictures that my mom had, and make copies on the computer. I will take some scrapbooking stuff, not that I do much of it, but I have some of it. We love games where we laugh until we cry. It will be the first time in three years that my daughter will be with us for Thanksgiving, and her birthday is that week, and so is my son's. We do not know where we will all sleep, but we will be together. Thanksgiving get togethers are priority in my family. My brothers, sister, nieces nephews, girlfriends, grand kids all go to my brother's house.

I always has a best Christmas... and i want it to be best as possible. Spending my christmas with my family is enough to make the yuletide season complete. Although their are times that we fail to enjoy it because of financial problems in which is not good because the center of the celebration is Jesus, not the gift or the foods... but the thought that our savior Jesus Christ is born to save us from our sins. Thanks for opening this wonderful discussion specially christmas is already fast approaching. Happy posting!

You're absolutely right! I don't have grandchildren yet, but I also find it difficult to gather the whole family together in one place at this special event of the year. It would be great just like having a yearly reunion; but people have different plans. Christmas time is just around the corner and this year, my husband and I (together with our two-year old daughter) are planning to celebrate Christmas with my in-laws and the New Year's Eve with my parents and siblings. But just yesterday, he suggested that we spend Christmas and New Year with my in-laws. He feels out-of-place in my family circle. I haven't given my decision yet. Somehow, I can't push him to celebrate with my parents and siblings because if I get pushy, his tendency is to get angry; so I just postponed my answer. Honestly, I like being with my in-laws. In the past four years of being married, we've spent a couple of Christmases with them already. It's not despising my own parents and siblings. But in one way, I could relate with what my husband is feeling. Whenever we spend an occasion with my birth family, somehow the spirit of the event tend to evaporate. We become so busy preparing the food, wrapping and giving gifts; but after these things, I don't feel the warmth especially because we don't have material things to share with them. I really don't want to compare them but over in my in-laws' place, recipes and gifts do not overwhelm the occasion. What's important is, we're together in one place. Several years back, when I'm still in my elementary days, I cherish the times when we would go to my grannys' place and spend the holiday season with them. We even used to follow the tradition of hanging socks over the windows with the thought of Santa Claus placing his gift for us in the socks. But now, a lot has changed.

The best christmas for me would be those times when we celebrate it as a complete family. Each of us would bring gift to everybody and has a share in the food that's on the table. We really cherish being together completely on such occasions always. For the past two christmases, it's not that happy anymore since we have a sibling working abroad that can't be with us. For this coming season, that same sister will finally be celebrating with us but another sister who just recently went abroad for work will be the one not present again.

my best christmas is last year, all of the member of my family is here and where very happy, coz of that time i experience the first time ever when my family member is finally complete.
