One year, Dad decided that we could open a gift early on Christmas Eve morning. He said we could choose our gift but there was one hitch: we had to use whatever we opened that day.
So...we all went to the tree and picked out our gifts. 1-2-3 we opened them up.
Funny...but I don't remember what any of us opened except Tina. She thought she knew what she had picked out. She thought she had picked a horse book that she had wanted. She was a reader and loved any book that had horses as the topic.
Well....to her surprise and disappointment: she opened THE LIVING BIBLE. The look on her face was priceless! So...she was compliant and read a chapter in Luke.....the Christmas Story. How fitting. Me and my other sisters opened our Bibles that night with all of the other gifts.
To this day...if I see one or hear someone say Living Bible.....that thought pops in my head.

That is funny! At least she used it. I always thought it was funny when Keith or I would ask you to tell us something that you got for the other... so we would know secrets and keep them from one another. What was funny one year was that you got us the same thing and told us each that you got it for the other. So when we opened all our presents, we realized we got what we knew the other was getting too! The memory in my head was Crash Dummy cars and people! haha
I remember the Crash Dummy sets. I thought it was fun to tell you both that the other one was getting it.....glad you remember it.
I didn't know that!!!
