The *best* presents aren't always the most expensive or the most extravagant. Tonight my grandmother gave me her original wedding ring, from back when their honeymoon consisted of going all the way from Serepta, Mississippi to Batesville and then on to the bright lights & big city of Oxford. In other words, they were a poor, young couple who couldn't afford much, certainly not fancy wedding rings. She told me it wasn't "worth hardly a thing"... but the fact that she chose to give it to ME? Invaluable. And you know what? It really is an absolutely *perfect* fit... [smile]

Merrie Christmas!!!
