Strategic Perspectives
I can say the best Christmas gift that I have ever gotten was when I was a child. It was the My Size Barbie, that was about 4 ft tall with waist long hair. I begged my mom for that but she was not to thrilled about the idea. My dad did get it for me that Christmas though and talk about childlike exicitement. I played with that babie for months. I ended up chopping the waist long hair into a bob with bangs.
This years best gift was a nice blouse from Express and a bible with my name embossed with silver lettering.
How about everyone else?
I convinced Santa (my husband) that I needed a kitten. I got to pick her up from the shelter's foster home on the 26th.
Her name is Natalie and she's a pistol. She gets along great with my dogs and it's fun to watch them play. I haven't had a cat before so I am in unchartered territory. She's pretty young so I think she's imprinting on the dogs.
With 2 dogs, a cat and a horse, my ark is full. Time to start hinting for a Nintendo DS for Valentine's Day. :-)

My favorite gifts were to offer people Detroit Lions season tickets. JUST KIDDING! I'm embarassed to call myself a fan, let alone ever own season tickets!
Anyhow, the best holiday gift I got (ever) was my car: got it back in 1992... A word of advise for would-be parents with a 16 year old teenager: you may want to make your kid wait until s/he turns 18 before giving them a brand new car (if you ever do, that is)...unless they're ultra-responsible, and few at that age ever are. I wasn't, but nevertheless, the car still runs like a dream.
Best gift I got this year? Believe it or not, a 10K white gold pocket watch. Totally made the holiday for me, probably because it was a gift from my fiance. And I also got a Detroit Red Wings sweatshirt. And I hooked her up with some nice jewelry (typical eh?): a matching set of ear rings and necklace.
Now, as for best gift possible for Orthodox Christmas (which is January 7th) that SprintNextel could give me? How about an iDEN/WiMAX flip phone for under say...$300? And without requiring any specific rate plan to go with it?!?So...how'd everyone else do?
