What is one of the most favorite gifts you’ve ever received?

Cody Donoher:  I would think Cody’s favorite would be his Bubble counting Clickers!! Either a dog, cow, hippo or pig. He loves them!!!

Lisa Dukicin: It’s so hard to choose but ornaments have to be one of my favorites. Besides the obvious ones made by Zack and Kaila or gifted to me by them, there are two beautiful sets of ornaments that Dan (hubby) gave me that hold a very special place in my heart. Dan and I have very different views on Christmas. I love it, spend months celebrating it, and truly enjoy every aspect of the season. Dan, if given the option, wouldn’t celebrate, buy gifts, decorate, or anything. For years this was a very sensitive area for us, because if you’ve ever seen my house decorated, it’s like Bonner’s East! Anyway, Dan does not buy Christmas gifts…or birthday gifts…or anniversary gifts. His philosophy, which is one I do share to a point, is that if you need something or want something, then if you can afford it, get it. He doesn’t think that an occasion is needed to buy a gift or a that a gift should be used to express your feelings. So back about 15 years ago when I woke up Christmas morning to find two beautifully wrapped boxes under the tree from him, needless to say, I was surprised. Upon opening the boxes I found two sets of handblown glass ornaments — one set of 12 traditional Christmas symbols and the other a set of 12 Christmas bride/wedding ornaments. Each ornament is unique and had a card explaining the history behind the symbol it depicted. I truly love each of these ornaments. What made this even more special, however, was what Dan told my mother when she commented, “You’re not newlyweds, why would you buy Lisa those wedding ornaments?” Without hesitation Dan said, “Lisa will always be my bride.” No gifts ever needed again after that!

Zack Dukicin: The ornament I got from my girlfriend Taylor this year!

Zachary Lombardo: My favorite gift that I ever got came from my brother Ryan. He surprised me with WWE tickets and we went 3 days after that Christmas!! That was my first time I ever went to see WWE wrestling! Then last year Ryan and my sister-in-law Ashley surprised me again with WWE tickets! Both times I got to see my favorite wrestlers!! Those were the BEST presents I ever got!!

Mary Lubowski: Spa day from my daughter.

Megan Parker: Megan’s was her Nintendo DS, mom’s was first Christmas with our adopted kiddos!
