Here's me sometime ago, talking about my most favorite gift. In the video I mention my husband's job.
John Cullum is not in this show today, but "Scottsboro Boys," which closed, was a cast, music, and a memory that stays with him. Off Broadway, or on Broadway, it's not the success of the show, but the family feeling he had with the boys that he cherishes.
Anyhow, I feel the same way about my favorite gift -- it's not very expensive, not very rare -- just a gift I was given in a brown manila envelope, stuffed with crinkled-up newspaper.
Why the gift is still my favorite, most cherished gift is not because of the way it looks, but what the giver figured out, and why the gift was chosen.

Wonderful post, Emily, the amber is beautiful.
Debbie and I have a daughter we named Amber Jo, so it's even more special to us.
I carry around a small Swiss Army knife that my best friend gave me as a best man's gift at his wedding. I never go anywhere without that knife.
When I take it out of my pocket, it instantly brings back memories of growing up in Colorado, the mountains and courting my wife Debbie in Boulder.
It seems like such a small thing to evoke so many memories each time, but it does.
I associate it with friendship, love, youth, fresh Colorado air, the Rockies, Boulder in the 60s and 70s and a simpler time in my life. Not a better time, just a more innocent time.
Thanks again for the time you and John take to make these delightful posts.
Merry Christmas and may you life and love well.
