    We never really got into the whole present thing, even now we tend to save the money for a holiday instead. Saying that though the best present I got (that I didn’t buy myself) was a necklace hubby bought me in Egypt for christmas one year we were there. I love it, it’s simple but beautiful.

    Best Christmas gift, best gift I ever received was the promise from my Grandma that I could have my ears pierced on my next birthday….the promise was made and as she had died before my next birthday my Mum ensured that Grandma’s gift to me was forthcoming.
    The gift now is bigger than the piercing, it’s about upholding promises and the love of family…..and people never die if others still cherish their memory. My ears were pierced 35 years ago. Merry Christmas Grandma.
