    First gift: it rained today! Waking to thunder and lightning, and getting 1.3" of rain was about the best gift a Texas gardener could get!
    Second gift: A dear friend, who was stumped as to what to give us for Christmas, sent a very generous gift to the local food pantry in our name. We could not have been more pleased, touched, and gratified. A thoughtful, useful, and kind gift from a dear friend who obviously understands the spirit of Christmas.
    May you all receive such marvelous gifts!

    Those are great gifts and greatly needed. Rain is usually appreciated here in the Ozarks too.

    Yes they are both great gifts.
    We adopt a family each Christmas. This year we got a mom and 3 children. The wish list was diapers and coats. I love shopping for this and always spend way more then I should. I just wish I could see the childrens faces Christmas morning.
