I’m not sure if I was twelve or thirteen but the best gift and the most fun gift I ever received was an electronic single or two player football game back in 1980 or 1981. I played that battery operated football game every single day of Christmas break and for months afterwards. I got to be pretty good at it which made me want to play even more. I don’t remember when I put it down, it could be because I got so good that it eventually lacked any challenge or that I simply moved on to other interests. It stuck out in my mind because it came as a huge surprise to me Christmas morning, I hadn’t asked for it but it intrigued me and once I started, I was hooked.

What a great way to put this: “It stuck out in my mind because it came as a huge surprise to me Christmas morning, I hadn’t asked for it but it intrigued me and once I started, I was hooked.” I cannot say what the best gift I ever got was. I have a b day tomorrow and I will be 45. I am surprised that since I planned many a surprise parties for family and friends that no one did one for me all these years. Now that would be a great gift from others to me. I love the gift of life, love and friendship, especially those like you Laurie. ♥ Jackie Paulson http://getreadingnow.wordpress.com
As Frosty the Snowman said it so well Happy Birthday! I hope that you get your surprise birthday party one of these birthdays, you do so much for others that you deserve one and I know that it wouldn’t matter if it were small, medium or large. You would really appreciate it. Last night I realized that another great thing about the WordPress community is that I have made new friends like you and that we connect on a daily basis like many friends do. It is a great plus in my life and I’m glad that you consider me a friend. I hope that you have a tremendous birthday and watch Frosty the Snowman, he’ll put a smile on your face.
