A typical after-Christmas question: What did you find under the Christmas tree (or in the stocking) that made you happy or was a big surprise?

I got a Lolita Lempicka perfume, which wasn´t a surprise as I had written to Baby Jesus:) My husband got a surprise. An enemy of useless things, he was very surprised when he found a "100% goat". Not a real goat, just a certificate. The real goat goes to a Congo family. Reply #1. Dec 26 11, 5:27 PM |

The one I liked best was a photo plaque of former San Francisco 49er wide receiver Jerry Rice. He was such a fantastic receiver in his heyday, and possibly the best ever. Reply #2. Dec 26 11, 5:42 PM |

Got a Dollar Store calendar from my daughter and son-in-law....just like they gave me last year. That's okay; it's the thought (or lack of it) that counts, right? Reply #10. Jan 27 12, 10:10 PM |

My first motorcycle (Honda 90) was a huge deal. I think I was 9, went on to race Sand & Trails, Bajas in 125cc and 250cc classes. Not riding Hondas, tho. Huskys, DKWs and Kawis. Reply #11. Feb 11 12, 11:35 AM |

Doorsfan, there are so many accidents on the motorbikes, that I remember a collegue of mine who gave birth to a son and her first words to her son were: "Dear, I solemnly swear that as long as you are in my care, you will have no motorbike":) Reply #12. Feb 11 12, 8:34 PM |

I was lucky enough to get some new golf clubs from my wife. Strangely, they seem just as inaccurate as the old set... Reply #14. Feb 22 12, 1:16 PM |

Jolana..........there are as many, if not more, accidents with cars. I rode motorcycles, back in the 1960's/70's/80's.......from a 49cc Moped, up to a 650cc machine (and all sizes in between) perfectly safely. Reply #15. Feb 22 12, 2:56 PM |

Best present though? A friend who's cat we looked after for a while when she moved house due to divorce, decided to give the cat to us at the end of it all. Best "present" ever.............and though a bit creaky, she (the cat) is still with us 15 years later. Reply #16. Feb 22 12, 3:00 PM |

I guess I am anti social. I don't give presents, and I won't accept them. Makes life oh so simple! Reply #18. Mar 21 12, 1:59 AM |

I would love to say I was a good person that didn't need presents, etc, but my awesome husband got me a Mac Airbook. And I love it stupid much! Reply #19. Mar 21 12, 9:38 AM |
