Merry Christmas, dude! I was gifted with the Mighty Men and Monster Maker in my preadolescent youth.

My Dad brought me a stuffed black bear that used to have a purple sash that read Great Smoky Mountains from a business trip. I still have the bear. I also remember getting a bike for my 7th birthday. My parents sent me to get the mail and when I turned back to the house, there it was next to the porch. The most useful gift I ever received was a Kitchen Aid mixer, which I really like, but it didn’t take the place of the diamond I was expecting (we broke up the next year). The gift of my Savior, Jesus Christ, is the best gift I’ll ever receive. Merry Christmas!

Not bad, Jay, for your first week in journalism (love your stuff). My best gift(s) were family in whatever evolved and devolved form it came and a baseball mitt on my 13th birthday. Peace.
