- Your Christmas stocking contains the latest, greatest pill carrier
- One of your favorite gifts is a flexible pillow with a hot/cold gel-pack
- Time winding down with your brother in front of the gas fireplace often ends with you nodding off together in companionable silence
This year, Smartwool socks and a cash-filled envelope for new clothes replaced the necessities of old. This "chef" was pampered with the two items I wanted... a can opener and small cutting board, PLUS a small whisk for good measure. A gorilla light that kept my great-nephew intrigued more than any toy rounds out the top gifts of 2010. Except, of course, for the 2011 calendar sporting his picture.
But, the greatest gift of all was being able to spend time with cherished family and friends. Thank you, God, for a stellar ending to 2010. I look forward to Your blessings in the coming year.
Happy New Year!

Hmmmm. My gifts included a foot ball and a hard-plastic foot bridge for theraputically exercising my sorry soles, a clip to hold my book pages open, canned fish, some "smell better", P.J. bottoms, and a 1928 children's music book featuring tunes by Stephen Foster. Yeah, there was some other nice stuff too, but I am cherishing the family experiences most of all. It's mighty nice swappin' hugs and kisses with five granddaughters at once, but it ain't the stuff that lasts, or counts.
