Chey's favorite gift is the Kawasaki electronic organ...at least, after we got batteries for it.

Desi's favorite gift was her Old Navy flare jeans....ugh. The 70's were ugly enough, fashion-wise, the first time around.

Megan's favorite gift seems to be the Yomega Firestorm yoyo she got. She can't put it down, and Megan reports it "sleeps" better than any!

Elizabeth's favorite gift might just be that short stack can of Pringle's she got in her stocking. She claims it really is her "pants". What kind of pants, I ask. "I don't know...just say 'jeans'". She is a stickler for specificity.

Andrew's favorite gift has to be the "Big Big Loader". A perpetual (as long as batteries last) motion thing, with track, and two loading and unloading vehicles. I am fascinated by it, myself!

Laura's favorite gift just has to be the black and red checked pajamas I got her...right up there with the Blackhawks sweat shirt I bought her for Christmas 1988 (or was that '89?).

My favorite gift...hmm...how can I choose? Either the whisky, or the St Brendan's Irish Cream, or the flannel GAP shirt, or the genuine Irish sweater, or the Cheiftain's CD.
