My grandfather was a professional violinist and all the concerts and musicals I saw because of him inspired my first passion, music, and my choice of professions. Those are the gifts that are treasured for a lifetime. We usually opt to go see a show but this year we had to be extremely frugal so Christmas was a quiet day at home. My favorite part of this time of year is coming home to Christmas lights brightening the dark and crispy cold nights.Aquariarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498862508376171975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-77637967598587895112012-01-04T07:48:23.230-06:002012-01-04T07:48:23.230-06:00Hey Chica!

I'm sure she's going to enjoy them all immensely...as will you, with her. What could be better? I was lucky enough to see CATS on Broadway in high school (mid to late '80s). It was fantastic, and is def one of my fave Broadway shows. There's a reason it's so long running! <br /><br />As to a gift I'd like to experience? An art retreat! Or perhaps a newer Broadway musical... ;)<br /><br />Have a fantastic day!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120271813052938238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-30692478592475616872011-12-28T20:09:49.782-06:002011-12-28T20:09:49.782-06:00You did good!

My dad had died in a house fire that caused everything he owned to be lost (Mom had died 5 years before). In order to provide all the information the insurance company needed, I went into Tiffany's (we worked in Manhattan then) and got prices on some Steuben glass that they had owned. While there I (of course) browsed the jewelry. One piece captured me. A simple diamond circle pin with one sapphire. I loved it's simplicity and contemporary feel. So that was that. I never even mentioned that pin to anyone. When I opened my present from my husband and saw that pin, I started to cry. I couldn't stop crying. He thought he'd done something terribly wrong! HA! When I finally could speak, we all marveled at his ESP and ability to find the perfect gift for me without even asking. I treasure that and will never forget it.<br />Now... could I be your daughter? Just for 3 evenings? I would esp love to see the Chinese dancers (having seen both of the others) but I love dance (and can't do any at all). They sound like great things to take your aspiring dancer to.

My youngest son - Age 16 and VERY MUCH a "teenager" (which is not always a good thing!) - always teases that he wants footy pajamas like his younger cousins. He is 6'4" and now has bright blue footy pj's with penguins from head to toe - I have not seen a smile like that in ages!

You guys are going to have so much fun at the three different dances.<br /><br />Mom and I didn't give each other gifts this year, except on St. Nicholaus Tag (Dec. 6th). Though mom did surprise me with a PowerPoint presentation of my life. Mom is still working on it, hopefully it doesn't take her as long as it is taking me to finish her birthday gift from two years ago (drawing a picture of my grandmom holding mom when she was a baby). I love what mom is creating for me and I told her she also needed to make a presentation of her life because I want to know all the little things that she has done!!!<br /><br />I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year!<br /><br />BethEB Bead and Metal Works, LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996936882818779838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-49307386993983750082011-12-27T12:56:49.204-06:002011-12-27T12:56:49.204-06:00Hi Erin,
That was a wonderful gift you gave to you...Hi Erin,<br />That was a wonderful gift you gave to your daughter one that she will remember and charish for a lifetime.<br />There were no tear involking gifts this year just lots of fun and laughter as is always the case when my family gathers together.<br /><br />If I could be gifted with an experience it would be a trip to the United Kingdom. My Mother's family is all German and we lived in Germany when I was a girl. My Dad was in the AF and we were stationed at Hahn AFB. So now I would like to see where my Dad's family came from, his ancetory is Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and British. Ofcourse if I ever did get a chance to go I would certainly have to meet up with my new friends through the blogs, Lesley, Lynsey, Tania, and Jo!<br />Happy New Year,<br />ThereseTherese's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048140538791568162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-24432876581297130932011-12-27T12:51:55.159-06:002011-12-27T12:51:55.159-06:00I'm so glad you are encouraging Tiny Dancer to...I'm so glad you are encouraging Tiny Dancer to follow her dreams, even if they may change fifty times before she's a senior in High School. Growing up our father had his own ideas about what girls should do (wife/mother,nurse, teacher, secretary), and were really never encouraged to do much else. If we showed talent in any area (like art in my case) he had his own vision of how it should go. And so we 'colored inbetween the lines' so to speak. With my own children I hope I have given them the kind of encouragement they need to do whatever they want in life, even if they change their minds often, or have the desire to backpack Europe (like daughter number one).<br /><br />Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with hope and joy.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.com
