But I wanted to make sure that you’d get these in time to use them for the month of December so I decided to have the giveaway in November!
I have two sets of these to give away!
So two people will each get a Pop-Up Nativity set, and a Talking Jesus toy.
(Those are the closest links I could find for them, they’re not exact but very close, sorry.)
Anyway, the nativity set is really neat, you press out all of the different characters and buildings to created your own nativity.
This would be fantastic for children who are learning about the nativity story, and can handle them.
(My three year old would tear them to pieces, I’m sure!)
When you’re finished the set will look something like this:
The talking Jesus toy is also really neat! We have this at home ourselves, and my son can literally repeat verbatim what Jesus says. It’s nice because he says a few different verses as well.
I think he’s quite handsome too, but that’s me
and I’m partial to bearded men
;) luv ya hun!

The best Christmas gift I received was a trip to El Salvador to see my Grandmother for the 1st time.
My best Christmas ever was that I got a little sister .
My most special and remembered Christmas gift was given to me by my mother.
The year after I was married and she moved out of state, she was thinking of me
every time she worked on my gift. She was crocheting for months. She handmade (crochet)
me a King size bedspread. Not only was it handmade but it had so much detail with each
square made in a different color and a different pattern with never repeating the same pattern.
I still have this blanket today although it has been repaired many times. I feel the love that
she put into it every year I pull it out to place on my bed in the winter. My husband always reminds me
how much my mother loves me because she spent so much time even though she suffered from
Carpal tunnel. I explain to my children that gifts from love are much more appreciated than gifts bought.
They continue to think of ways to make gifts from the heart.
One year my daughter (then only 6) gave my son (who was older but only 9) a rock. With the rock came this note: Brandon here is a special rock I found for you. It is for you to use when you are scared. Always know that the rock is there for you like God is. Pray and hold the rock and know I love you and so does God. It made us all cry. It was so sweet to see them hug on Christmas morning, such joy was brought from the little rock. My son is now 16 and he still has the rock.
Well those are my stories. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
As a young child, my heart’s desire was a Casper the Friendly Ghost . There wasn’t a lot of money and my parents thought it a gift that wouldn’t hold my interest for long or be played with much. As the month went on and my mind didn’t change, they bought him. Christmas morning there he was, under the tree! I still have him. He isn’t white anymore and he is definitely thread bare, but he can always bring a smile to my face as a I remember all the secrets we share.
My daughter, Claire, passed away at nearly 5 month of age, just before her First Christmas, on December 11th. On Christmas Day, my mother gave me a beautiful ornament with her photo on it! It was just what I needed at that time…….and always! It is certainly a cherished treasure and a major part of our tree each year!
My favorite gift was a hot wheels track when I was 9 years old. My mother had newly remarried to a man who adopted me, never had any children of his own. He had no idea what little girls liked so this is what I got. Although I was not so happy with it at first, he and I had a great time bonding, getting to know each others hearts and interests. He is my best friend today and I doubt I will ever forget my hot wheels track :)

I subscribe via e-mail and I really don’t have a favorite Christmas gift, but I do have a memory. When I was younger, my dad was in the navy and when he was out to sea my mom and sisters and I would decorate the tree, listen to our favorite Christmas records and take pictures for him so he could celebrate with us.
I found out I was expecting TWINS!!! December 1999. Favorite gift of all time!!! Thanks!! :)
Definitley the best gift ever was my engagement ring. My hubby proposed to me just a few short days after Christmas =).
One year, on my husband’s side of the family, we decided to only give home made gifts. They were all great, but my father-in-law made a full size picnic table for my 3 daughters for our back yard. I now have 3 more children and we are still enjoying that wonderful Christmas gift!
When i was growing up in South Africa my parents were middle class, both working. My mom would pick out something she wanted us to have and save up all year long. One time we were at my aunts place, her sister, and i saw this beautiful pram and doll and asked who that was for and she said it is for another littler girl. I remember thinking that that is the most bless girl in the whole world. Christmas morning (+/-35 yrs ago) when i opened my gift there was the pram and doll. Words simply cannot express how i felt about that pram and doll. I still remember, vividly, what it looked like ; )
The best gift I recieved was from my daughter when she was three (she’s now almost 13!). It was only a dollar store white baseball cap, but the enthusiasm and love with which she gave it was the best! She robbed her piggy bank and picked it out herself. She even wrapped herself too. She was so proud of it! It sits on my dresser where I see it each morning and it makes me smile each day to know that I am so loved!

My favorite gift was not for Christmas. It was actually a birthday gift. My daughter was placed with us for adoption on my birthday! Such a blessing!
My favourite christmas present is a box full of school supplies when i still 10 years old.Thats the best stuff i ever have :)
and the best present I ever gave is a ring for my sister before she move.
Two years ago my husband was laid off in November. A couple of ladies from our church got together and made a basket filled with all the food needed for a Christmas dinner. They also brought Christmas gifts to give to our two children. It was truly a blessing and the best gift we could have received.
The best Christmas gift I ever recieved was to be with my family again after 5 months in hospital. My eighth pregnancy was a difficult one. I was sent to a major city to reside in a Ronald McDonald House for 5 months to be close to the hospital. The doctors took serious action to my health issues as my previous baby – no 7 botn at 24 weeks, died after a 5 month battle.
I promised my children who ranged from 3-13 years old that I would be home for Christmas, I prayed all the way through, hoping that I could fulfil this promise as it wasn’t certain; it all depended on my and the baby’s health and they had already been through so much before.
The baby made it and he was born on the 18th of December at 38 weeks, but the doctors wanted to keep me in the hodpital for another 2-3 weeks. I pleaded with them to release me and to my surprise they consented to, but only on the promise that I contact my local doctor so he could keep me under his specail care. I got home the eve of Christmas eve and our little baby boy was baptised on Christmas morning.
My Christmas couldn’t have been more joyful, we were all together safe and sound reunited after a long and difficult journey and I think the best gift of Jesus Himself had a great deal to do with it!
My favorite Christmas gift was having all my family together.
the best present ever was when we were adopting and that first Christmas knowing I was a mom even though we were waiting for them I had their little pictures

I received the gift of God’s own Son on Christmas 1985. I was a suicidal teenager, and Jesus answered my cry, “God, if You’re real, please show me!” I did not have a Christian background, but I knew that Jesus Christ whose birth we celebrate on Christmas, walked into my bedroom, gave me a new heart, and transformed my life.
This year my kids and I will be receiving the best Christmas present of all…their Daddy will be coming home from his deployment just in time for Christmas :))…we are beyond thrilled!!!!
The best Christmas present I have gotten is my son, Carter, who was born 3 weeks ago. I know that’s an early present but he has been wanted for over 2 years!! Such a blessing this year!
One of my favorites was a picture book made of pictures cut out of magazines and pasted in a composition book. Not a lot of money that year!

The best gift I ever gave was to my Mum in 2008. I made an apron for her with my 3 son’s hand and footprints on it. She has hung it up in her kitchen. Since that time my 2nd son passed away from cancer in October 2008. We do not have any footprints of his because his feet were too curled up when he died to take a print! She will treasure this gift forever.
Brendon’s Mum!
The best Christmas gift every year is being surrounded by my family at home and at church, and the love that goes along with that!
The best Christmas present I ever got was a family. I was adopted at the age of 3 and that first year (a couple of months after we came) neither my brother or I had a clue as to what was going on Christmas Morning.

My most memorable gift was a musical instrument I received from my older sister. As a young girl, I desperately wanted to learn to play flute, but my parents didn’t have the money to buy another instrument and told me I’d have to play clarinet because that’s what my older sister had played. My sister wanted me to have the choice she had, so she traded her clarinet in for a flute and wrapped it up for me. I was stunned, and I’ve never forgotten what that kind of a gift felt like.

My mom bought me a cabbage patch doll when I was 4 and made a slew of matching outfits for my dolly and me. I loooooooved it!!!!!
The best Christmas gift I have ever had was spending Christmas with my dad. little did we know it would be the last Christmas he would share with us. He past away three months later. What made it even more special was that he was so happy to find out he would be a grandfather for the first time. He was so happy to see the ultrasound pictures and share in our joy.

The best Christmas present we gave our kids when they were young, was on Christmas day we spent with my sister-in-law and her husband at a Salvation Army Care and Share Centre in Chilliwack, BC preparing a meal and care packages and serving the ones in need. My children now are adults and they still talk about that.
We never had Santa in our home, so for Christmas decorations the girls would use their barbie dolls to make a nativity set for the fireplace mantel and my son would make one out of legos. They were conversation pieces with their friends when they would come over for a visit.

My favorite Christmas present was always the china dolls my parents gave me for several years. I think I collected about five of them, and it was always a joy to see those beautiful dolls under the tree.
I just subscribed to your site in my Google Reader. Hoping to get some neat craft ideas for our homeschool! Please give me an extra entry. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite Christmas gift ever was when I was 4 years old. I still remember it. I got a Wetsy Betsy Doll! I did not figure out she wet until much later but mine remained in a state of dehydration as my mom refused to let me give her “liquids”. LOL She had dark curly hair, cupid bow red lips, her eyes opened and shut, and she was just the right size for a little Mama like me to hold in her arms.

When I was about 8 years old I had a dog that was really sick. My mom gave me an option to take her to the vet or get a gift for Christmas. I know to some this would not seem fair but my mom was doing the best she could for 5 children. I chose to have my dog taken care of but when I got up on Christmas morning she did have me a jewery box that I just loved.
The best gift I gave was a handmade quilt, to my dad
My favorite Christmas was when our family spent Christmas together again after being separated for 8 years. That was the best and most memorable Christmas gift EVER.
The Best Christmas present I gave was to my mother in law. I made a 7×7 scrapbook of all her children and families. The first page was of her and her mother. Needless to say she cried and absolutely loved it and treasures it. This is what Christmas is all about giving joy to others.
The best Christmas present I received was —My husband replaced my wedding ring which had been stolen several months earlier.

The best gift I ever received was June 5th, 2000. I was 17 years old and fixing to get married. I was praying Lord let me do whatever it takes to make my marriage last. God gave the best wedding present ever, SALVATION! He saved my soul and forgive me of my sins. Now, I no longer worry about my marriage lasting, my husband and I both, attend church faithfully, and as a family with our beautiful daughter who will be 4 in a couple of weeks. We let God solve our problems, and thank Him everyday for his many wonderful blessings. Our family, our daughter, our church, but most of all we thank Him for saving our souls! I wish this holiday season my family and friends that don’t know the Lord would recieve the greastest gift ever, the gift of SALVATION!
The best gift I remember was clothes for my Barbie dolls that my Mom had made out of scraps from outfits she had also made. The most surprising thing about it, in reflection as I got older, was that I do not know when she even had time to make them because at the time my Father was away with the military, and she was basically a single mom of three kids… I was the oldest at about 9 or so…
