New Siblings, Disneyland, Cabbage Patch Doll: Most Memorable Christmas Gifts

Often times the best gifts are the ones that aren’t the most expensive. It might be something that is just perfect for you. It could even be a handmade gift from a loved one.

This doesn’t only hold true for adults. A small something might be the gift a child remembers for a lifetime.

See what readers from around the Tri-Cities say are their most memorable gifts. What they say may surprise you.

• Davina Alicea: My little sister, Nina was born on Christmas Eve. Babies are a gift from heaven!

• Linda Murzi: One year my best friend and her kids did Twelve Days of Christmas. I waited each day to see what I would get. I took a lot of the stuff to her house and shared with her kids. It was candy canes, jello salad, candy bars, etc. ... She lived in Hayward, myself in Union City. They drove early in the morning and late at night to deliver gifts on our doorstep! It was the best and most surprised I have ever been. She has since passed with cancer but her kids still remember and we talk about it every year!

• Claudia Paez: My Family!

• Mariena Foley: A jogging stroller that converts into a bike trailer. My kids and dog all piled in and closed the hatch, and I could go on a long hike, run or bike with them cozy and warm inside. The gift was meaningful because I felt like my family was participating in my fitness goals.

• Tracy Sarge: Today my father gave me a picture he started drawing and had put aside... He just completed it. It is of my girls when they were little. They are both nearly adults now. Also when my brother and I were teens my parents surprised us with tickets in our stocking to Disneyland for New year's. First time and I will never forget it.

• Sandy Nevels: A Cabbage Patch Doll that I got in the early 80's. I loved dolls and hoped to get one. I still have it!
