whats the best xmas present you have ever gotten in your entire life?
 
Oh boy, I remember when I was but six years old and at the time, still thinking there was a real Santa Claus. It was Christmas Eve and that was the time my family opened their gifts. Before we were to open them, the folks said that we should go for a ride and see the lights first. My sister and I ran for the car and mom and dad followed. Dad said that he had forgotten the keys and would be right back. ;) When we got back from the ride, it was after midnight and sis and I hustled back into the house in anticipation of opening our presents. When I rounded the corner of the kitchen, I could see this big red bicycle standing beside the tree. My eyes grew big and I ran for it saying, "Santa brought me my bike!" I believe that was my biggest surprise of all time. Now the best gift I ever got was a few years ago. Earlier in the year, the Mrs and I would hit the video store for movies, but sometimes we would go in and browse this artsy type store. There was all sorts of prints from various artist and also a few model diaramas that were very nice. Anyway, my eye caught this one print of Bill Elliott winning the Winston Million at Darlington Speedway. It was signed by both the artist and Elliott. It was a bit pricey, but I so much wanted it. Then, one December day, we walked into the store and to my horror, the print was gone! :( The Mrs was behind me at the time and I sulked to the owner, you sold my print. He said, yes, someone had finally purchased it. I looked around a little longer and we finally left the store. Well, you guessed it, the Mrs is the person who purchased the print. She was worried the store owner would say something, but because she was behind me when we walked in, she was able to sign to him not to say anything. When Christmas morning came that year, I opened a little box that told me to go upstairs and look under the bed for my present. When I did, I couldn't believe what I saw. That print is now hanging right behind me on the wall of my computer room. It's a beauty. I was going to attach a picture, but the camera isn't working at the moment. Maybe later.
 
Being from a fairly large family, Christmas was a burden on my parents......so instead of Christmas being the "big present" day, it was birthdays in my family (spread it out a little throughout the year). Guess the biggest present I remember was a bike I got (don't remember how old I was....but must have been about 8 yrs old or something since I lived in Irving, TX at the time)......but that bike was stolen off the back porch about two days after Christmas.:( Anyway, that is probably the best Christmas present I got because it is about the only one I remember. Now, for the best present ever.........it was a birthday present!!:D About four years ago, my wife surprised me with two tickets to the California race in Fontana......I had no idea she was going to do that. She made these little tickets out of construction paper saying admittance to the California Speedway for the Napa 500, etc. I thought it was a joke........then she broke out the real tickets.:D Best present, biggest surprise, EVER!!:D
 
My wife got me a gift certifcate for a one hour professional message. I thought it was kind of a weird idea, but she knew I was under a lot of stress at work. That was one of the most amazing and relaxing things I've ever done. It worked so good we ended up taking a three hour class at the same massotherapist office where we learned how to message each other properly. That has paid off quite well many times since.
 
I really have no idea? The one thing i secretly wish for eveyyear i never get because we can't have one untill the cats die and thats a dog. But of things I have got i think it is another racign item and petty at that.
It was a throw blamket that i have hanging in the corner of my room. Its Has one of Lee Petty's old race cars Early 50's winged car. And in front of the car is all of the 4 Petty's leaning against the car. It is special to me now just because 2 of them are no longer with us here on earth.
 
I can't really think of a gift, I just like to see everybody happy on Christmas:)
 
A pocket watch with "RPMAllen" engraved on the side. I always keep my digital watch in my pocket instead of on my wrist, so i thought it was a very thoughtful and creative gift.

Yes, RPMAllen is my real name. 4 initials.
 
Mine without a doubt is Marrying Mspbunch 15 years ago on Christmas eve.We had gone to see my granny,and she would not let us sleep in the same bed becuse we weren't married.A motel room would cost 35.00,and to get married was 25 bucks.My granny called the judge,and had him open the court house so we could get married in a small town in Ky. :D
 
Without a doubt, the best Christmas present ever was from my wife two years ago. She bought me a gift certificate for 10 laps in a Jarrett/Farve driving adventure car. I travled to Charlotte where I spent 5 days touring the shops and spent one day at Atlanta where I drove the car for 20 laps. I got an extra 10 laps because they moved it from Charlotte to Atlanta. A dream come true!:)
 
CD burner 2 years ago. Paid for itself in a week. I love my husband.
 
Currently, it's probably the guitar I got for Christmas last year. I love that thing, and have probably spent more on it since then, for amp and picks and etc., than the thing originally cost. But it's all worth it.
