My answers

1 The best Christmas present was from my Mother. We had not long moved to Australia from New Zealand, so we were all abit home sick, especially the 3 children who were missing their friends. Fantastic Mum paid for the 3 children to fly back to NZ for a week as a Christmas gift from her to us all, so they could catch up with their friends, and DH and I could spend a week alone without the children.

That had NEVER happened before (the children were always a handful) and has NEVER happened since.

2 The worst Christmas present was from my MIL two years ago (god bless her) - a box of 6 very large waist high underpants - different colours with butterflys on them. Not sure what she was trying to say to me with this one - but thanks Mum!

Still have them - still boxed - cant throw them away because of quilt, and cant find another 'receiver' either.

3 The most romantic present was from my DH. A lovely sky blue very short nightee - a little bit naughty in the see through fabric and length. What made it romantic was the fact it wasnt even my size - far to small. Now, that could have been the LEAST romantic gift, but to my DH I had always been, and always will be in his eyes, a sexy, perfectly sized woman.

Okey okey!!!......maybe he was just thinking fast on his feet with that excuse, but I still love him for it..........and Ive kept the nightee

4 The least romantic present was from my DH also, not long after we were married. He wouldnt dear to now. The gift was a NEW IRON. So, he just didnt go out and replace our old iron as you would, Noooooooo, he waited for my birthday, wraped it, inclosed a card, and then expected me to gush with joy. I couldnt wait for the new ironing board to show up.......NOT!!!!

I still bring that story up occasionly when he gets above his station. haha

Marion,

I have to say that this is a great post. And since your MIL gave you those lovely panties 2 years ago, you can toss them now. Had you worn them with any regularity, they'd be worn out by now. On the other hand, you could do your workouts in them since they're so big.... hehehehe! Just kidding!!

And give your hubby a hug. He sounds like a dear man.

1 The best Christmas present - a Reebok Step. I was stepping on one of those older, hard box kind about 10 years ago. My husband watched me fall off a few times and bought me a Reebok (insanely expensive when we didn't have any money) and I still use it!

2 The worst Christmas present - when I was about age 20 and about 20 lbs overweight, my mother bought me a cat suit and a pink/blue/green/orange washed silk jacket to go over it. I am only 5'2" - it looked ridiculous. Even she admitted that it was a stupid idea.

3 The most romantic present - from my husband. When I first started to lose weight and get in shape, I was hiking a lot and starting to learn to mountaineer. He bought me top of the line trekking poles. It doesn't sound very romantic, but it did involved a lot of research and I appreciated that he believed in me.

4 The least romantic present - again, from my husband. A big papercutter from Office Depot. I do use it a lot!
