My favorite Christmas present was given to me when I was 7 (I still remember how excited I was). Growing up we were real close to our neighbors across the street and they were like family to us that we even called them (and still do) Uncle Dave and Aunt Joan. They would spoil us on Christmas so every Christmas once we were done opening our presents from Santa, we could not wait for them to come over that we would constantly look out the window all day waiting for them to walk across the street. The later it got the more we would ask our parents to call them to make sure they did not forget. The best would be watching them walking over and the three of us fighting over who was going to get the big present they were carrying over. Me being the youngest always figured it would be for my sister or brother. Well the year I was 7 I watched them carry over presents but in particular this one huge box. When they put it down in my living room I sneaked at the name and saw that it had my name on it. When I opened it it was twin Cabbage Patch Kids. I was so excited two girls in beautiful yellow dresses, wearing fur coats and hats to match and they even had pacifiers in their mouths. They both had dark brown hair like mine that were in pig tail braids. One had a dimple and her name was Anna Bell and the other ones name was Hellowese. I was so excited!!! My mom was a RN in the ER so every few Holidays she would have to work and that year was her turn. We went up to the Hospital to have our Christmas dinner in the cafeteria with my mom and I insisted on bringing my two new babies. I still remember holding one in each arm with such a big smile on my face.
