My most memorable and priceless holiday moment happened early Christmas morning in 2003. Around 3am I knew that it was time to make my move and time was of the essence beacuse I wouldn’t have much of it to make it to my destination.

I didn’t own a car and neither did my then boyfriend, and I didn’t have anyone else to wake at that time of morning so I called the paramedics. They arrived and took my vitals, loaded me into the ambulance and then told me they were taking me to the Grant Hospital, which was the closest. I disagreed and informed them that I wanted to go to the hospital where I’d received my prenatal care, and where my doctor was. Well they contested and said that we would pass at least five hospitals on the way there. I stood my ground while remaining calm because at this point my contractions are growing closer and closer together.

To my amazement, these two nitwits told me that they needed to call a supervisor to receive authorization to transport me half way across town to where I wanted to be taken. So we waited outside until a supervisor showed up. He arrived and started talking even more stupid than the first two. He tells me, “Well ma’am this is not really considered to be an emergency, women give birth at home all of the time.” Without trying to curse him out I responded, “Well, I didn’t plan on a home delivery and I suggest that if you didn’t come here to deliver a baby, you give us the okay to leave.” ” I have insurance, if you’re worried about not being paid for the transport.” I snapped, because at this point my contractions are five minutes apart on a continuous basis.

We left and make it to the hospital before any thing major happens, like my water breaking. We get to the maternity floor and one nurse is getting my information from the paramedics, while another is checking me out. To their astonishment I was already 9cm.

Before I found out the gender of my unborn child, I had chosen the name Gabrielle which means “God’s messenger” in Hebrew, and at 5:16 am Christmas morning I delivered a 6 lb. 7 oz. baby girl. She is truly the most priceless and most memorable Christmas gift.

Getting up in the morning at age 8 with everything you wanted for xmas all smiles, electric transformers toothbrush, mock racing car with gear shifting, clothes…All Smiles!

Finding out later in the day that everything you got for Xmas went to the trash with the wrapping paper = Priceless

I can’t say that I have been that disgusted since.

Aight, I remember a “priceless” holiday moment. Im from a big family in New Orleans. I usually didnt get a chance to see my older brother and older sister, when I was way young an also we had different moms. But we look and at some much alike people tell us. Anways, my older brother was shot, in Virginia by a Off-Duty Undercover Cop, a few years earlier so I never really spent a Christmas with me. Not anyone dat I can recall. Because of dat situation, and the situation with our dad and their mom it became even harder for me to spend time with them. Lawsuits, trial after trials, just put a damper on the whole option of ever getting a chance to see my sister. Then one Christmas; it was my first Christmas in college, and my older sister and brother’s mom asked me if i could come to Philly to spend Christmas and New Years with them. I was in a shock at first and everythang. Because she didnt want anything to do with me. Especially when everybody was telling her, dat I looked like my older brother, who got shot preivously. But she did. She wanted me to have Christmas with her and my older sister. I was the most happiest dude in the world at dat moment. For somebody who doesnt rememember having a Christmas with my older sister, and finally getting a chance to fulfill dat long time need. That right there, didnt even make it all worth-while til, Christmas Day with them, where my sister’s momma told me when she was hugging me. She said (and I will never forget this)” Thank You for coming and enjoying Christmas with us. Me and your sister really love having you hear. And keep your brother Rocky J. with you always. I Love you.” That right there, took the cake of my Christmas. After that, nothing could or went wrong. It just felt so right and left so “priceless”, you can say.

Growing up I never really looked forward to Christmas, for it was a struggle for my mother to really provide gifts for all 6 of us and I being the oldest tried not to burden her with Christmas lists. I remember walking into a WalMart one day admiring a tree that had my name on it and me being the most inquisitive kid, I read that this tree was a foundation to help the less fortunate kids receive gifts for Christmas. I was very disturb by this and not humiliated that my name was on the tree but my mother had to seek other resources just to make sure we got gifts. So I vowed from that moment on when I have children, I won’t do Santa, go broke purchasing gifts, humiliate myself or others to seek foundations for gifts. Now that I’m a mother and my two year old son comes to me saying,”Mama,I asked Jesus to make sure you get a present this year.” First I was astonished that he said, that but it made me think. That all those years my mother devotion to try and make one day of our lives a memory that we won’t forget but cherish was a blessing and I love her for all she’s sacrificed to do for us. To have my son ask Jesus to bless me with a present is priceless. So I ask that this be a blessing to my family and Jesus will continue to protect and bless yours. Since things are tight around here, I would like to bless my son with presents for he unselfishness to pray for me when my desire is to give to him and look forward to sharing this Christmas with family and friends. “It’s not about the gift itself, it’s about how you were determined to make sure the person you love received it.” 1

My most memoriable christmas is when I deliver presents to my clients who are less fortunate than me. I work with teen and pregnant moms and most of our moms are single parents with alot of children. Every year, we get donations and we adopt families to give gifts too. When I deliver the gifts to the houses, all I see is the children happy faces light up and the weight lifted off the moms shoulders. I love doing what I do and I love making a positive change in someone els’s life. Children don’t ask to be put here on earth and they don’t ask for too much. Nothing makes me more happier then to see someone having a decent christmas if it’s only one time.

My most pricele$$ holiday moment was being a senior in highschool, and just having the chance to meet me dad for the first time.

The most priceless Christmas was for me was last year to be exact. I really didn’t get too much of nothing but I did go to church for Christmas. I had a good time. I haven’t been to church in two years prior to that. So, going to church on that Christmas day made me a better person.

Being a single mother of 3, we have had our tough times and struggle with money, but I will never forget the memorable Christmas one year, with my children, when they were younger, ages 3,4 and 5.I had $40.00 to my name to spend on Christmas that year, I would’nt say that this would be the best Christmas ever, but it is definetely, “Priceless”! All I could afford that Christmas was a doll each for both my daughters, and a toy truck for my son, plus they had stockings but I only had enough to purchase fruits,(oranges and apples). That Christmas morning when they got up, my goodness, you should have seen the expressions on their faces!!! I was feeling a little bad about not having much to spend but they were so appreciative of their gift! We had Christmas dinner where I set the table for 4, and I made Christmas cookies that night.It’s almost like they knew of our struggle, but they wanted to let their mother know that they were just thankful that we were together, and the true meaning of Christmas is being with family and sharing the special holiday together. I am truly thankful for my children, and I appreciate the love they showed at such a young age, and to this day as the years go by, every Christmas morning we wake up, I will always remember that One Special Christmas!!!!

My Most memorable Holiday moment was last year, my nephew and god- nephew were shot between thanksgiving a Christmas we didn’t loose either of them but what they lost in spirit was something greater. We were unsure if we should still hold the holiday events, but we proceeded. Seeing my nephews smile, Having all my family together despite the odds made that holiday the most memorable.

a truely priceless experience for me is not getting anything for christmas, but spending what i have pluse more and makinng sure that my nieces have a wonderful christmas each year. none of their father’s are in their lives, one due to death, and the other because he just doesnt want to be around, and because their mother is young and doesnt have her priorities straight. so me and my mom do whatever it takes to make sure that they have smiles on their faces christmas morning.

My most priceless moment was back in 2008 when this poor family came to our church. The family consisted of about 6 kids; 3 living with their mother, and the other 3 had lost their mother(who was the sister of the other mother) but all together were living with their grandfather(the father of those two sisters). Anyway, they asked us to give presents to them, everybody else gave $1-$5 as presents. However, I gave one of the little girls my precious iPod Nano that I loved so much. I felt that the girl could use it more than I could. I feel the best presents we can give are ones that are sacrifices from us, as opposed to ones we buy in the store.

My priceless memory actually happened this year during the Thanksgiving break. My pops has been locked up since I was a baby and the only way we would communicate was through letters. He finally made parole this year and a couple weeks prior to the Thanksgiving break he got out, but had to parole to Kansas City. I stay in Texas. So anyway, we started talking over the phone, and the day my moms came and got me from college, I got a phone call from him saying he was unable to make it to Texas. I was so disappointed, but when I went outside to let my moms and my lil sister into the dorms, he appeared from behind a tree. That was the first time I EVER met my pops. AND THAT MOMENT was my most priceless holiday memory. No amount of money can buy a moment such as that one.

Christmas 2006…my grandfather had been really sick for some years. He wasn’t even all the way there..he couldn’t speak or even ACKNOWLEDGE people. He just lie there. When Christmas Eve came around my Grandmother felt something wrong. She called all of my aunts, uncles, and as many grandkids as she could. Apparently my grandfather was going to die…and she knew it. We all went to my grandmothers house and sat around him. We sang Christmas carols and hymns. A little after midnight…in the wee hours of Christmas morning…my grandfather smiled(which he hasn’t done in YEARS) and passed away. It was as if his final Christmas wish was to be with his family and he was pleased. That’s my most precious Christmas memory.

my most priceless moment was when my father worked for 2 weeks building 2 bicyles for a good friend miss kathy in osceola arkansas.this was some years ago,she couldn’t aford to get any gifts for her kids so my dad bought everything he needed to fix up some bike frames and painting and putting the frames together those bikes looked better than the ones u see at walmart and seeing the kids run to my dad hugging him was a site to see i would have to say my dad was Sainta that year.

My truely priceless experience for me is giving back to people that don’t have anything… I love to make people happy and to see Grateful thankful people.. It’a beautitful thing..!!! I know if u trust God he will turns all the bad around and make it for ur good..!

The most priceless moment that i had was when i lost my apartment 3 days before xmas. I didnt and still dont have any family up here. I was very lost at the time and didnt know what steps i needed to take! Until one of my friends had offer me to come stay with them until i got on my feet. I used the couple of dollars i had to put my things in storage because i couldnt take my things with me. It was a blessing that i actually had someone to take me in at the time. They even brought my son some lil items that he needed for xmas. I felt bad because i couldn’t provided for my child for his 2nd xmas. But i was happy someone looked out for me. In the end i ended up losing my things in the storage. but the fact is i wouldnt have made it that xmas with out the love of a another family!

I’ma have to say a priceless time for me is spending one last Christmas with my grandma.

Christmas 2005. My grandmother had been diagnosed with cancer for about a year and a 1/2, in which it was rapidly taking over her body. I knew in my heart I had to get her newborn 1st great-grandaughter (my daughter)in her arms before she passed. I remember I walked in my grandmother’s living room, she hadn’t been talking much at all, but as soon as I brought my daughter in and placed her in my grandmother’s arms,it was as if for those few moments my grandmother was back to normal, she talked, and smiled and teared up as she played with the baby, telling me how she used to do the same things for me because I was her first grand child. That feeling I experienced as I watched those two interact was the TRUE definition of PRICELESS. I will take that memory and cherish it all the way to my grave.

my most priceless moment was in september of this year losing my job n its so hard in dis dumb economy and my other priceless moment was a lady that knew me since i was born who died like i cannot remember the year but she died like between the years 2003-2006 n she was like my grandma

Being that the recession has taken a place in my life as being unemployed and being a single mother who has relied on others for milk and pampers, 2009 has been rough!!! So, I can honestly leave a statement for this year about this Christmas! A True “priceless” experience would contain success,happiness, and a giving experience well I choose to speak on how I’ve decided to give in to a better lifestyle for my Child by going back to school to become a Medical Assistant in which I will complete in April 2010. Also, having goodwill to not take my baby father for child support, lol, and since my Birthday is 12/21- Winter Solistice itself- to have a good time and love alot more~ Out with the Old and In with the New!!!!

Forever your girl,
Reseecup

My most priceless Christmas was when Christmas 2007 when my aunt was living and the whole family was together. It was always good times when our family gathered together because we have the same tradition that has lasted for years. Now that my aunt has passed the tradition of Christmas still goes on i consider this a priceless moment because throughout all these years our traditions never fail and we stil keep going on. We don’t fight as a family and all of us get along which is a blessing.

I would say my priceless memory would be when I was about 7 yrs. old when me and my two older siblings had to stay with my grandmother because my mom had some personal issues going on. And it was about 2 yrs since we’ve seen my mom at the time. And on Christmas morning my G-Ma told us she had a surprise for us.And in walked my mother, being that young we were in heaven no amount of presents would’ve filled us with Joy that day because she was all we wanted.

my priceless holiday moments would have to be every thanksgiving,every chirstmas,and every year for my birthday because its the samething for me every year no food,no gifts,never had a party before in my life and I am 23 going on 24 so I dont know how it feels to celebrate those days so they just feels like a regular day to me cause like I said never had nothing whenever they came around and I dont look for nothing this year either but if I win this $1000 im going to spend it on studio time at the hit factory here in Miami and grind hard to get in this rap game.

My priceless and memoriable holiday that I have had was my birthday (Dec. 31). I had nothing to do and really no family out here in Atlanta to celebrate with. My boyfriend called me and asked if i wanted to go somewhere with him. I told him that it was okay he could spend it with his family. Anyways he told me that his mother gave her Lil Wayne tickets to him so that I could have something to do for my birthday considering the fact that I really didn’t have much out here with me. To me that was priceless because they were her in the 4th row and in the center… I couldn’t imagine anyone doing that for someone that they really don’t know like that

my most priceless xmaz was when i brought a woman n her child that where homeless home n had xmaz with them the look on the child face was priceless 2 me i never felt any better!!!

mine a ps3 with 6 games just for $100 bucks fresh out the box here in cleveland ohio

My most memorable holiday had to be when I went back to Jamaica for Christmas a couple years ago. As we all know Jamaica is a third world country and also very poor. I helped out and prepared meals for families. I went down with two suitcases full and came back with one. A few people took what they wanted from my suitcase, clothing, games etc.. At the time I did not think it was much but to them I did the world. To see how happy I made a few people just by giving away some clothing, games etc, made me feel great!

What up I think my most memorable holiday for the rest of life will be November 23 2007 Thanksgiving!! My son was born! aint no feeling in the world better than that! Its easy to bring a life in the world but it takes a man to take care of responsibilities! And i say that to say this Money wont change you only you can make that happen!! And im out!!

my most priceless holiday moment was when my mom was able to leave the hospital to bring in another new year by the grace of god

Caught me a bad broad on valentines in the club, studio 32. in macon Ga,,,boy wat she had on up under in red was priceless….soowoo, and thats the only thing i got on valentine

everyone has some sad stories,enduring stories and maybe memorable stories but for me waking up yet another day and being blessed to see my family and friends and letting them know how much i love them whether it’s a hoilday or not is truly PRICELESS.

My most priceless Christmas memory was last year when my step dad came fomr fomr jail. Everyone thought that he wasnt going to be home and everyone was had. No one had any money to bail him out. But to our surprise my mom had pulled some strings adn asked for some favors and got him out. On christmas eve at around 11 o clock there was a knock on the door when i opened it i was so happy. We all celebrated together. This year if i could give my mom as special of a gift that she gave us last year this would be my new most priceless christmas.

my most priceless xmas i would have 2 say is every year i always have xmas dinner for the whole family it`s that one time out the year when everyone comes 2gether no matter what the circ**stances & there are alot of issue`s in my family i must add from drug abuse 2 absentee parents but none of that matters on this particular day it`s like for that moment all is forgotten & we just have a great time even though this year it won`t be as it was with all the gift giving because of financial situations for alot of the family but one thing is 4 certain everyone will be able 2 eat & come together & just be thankful 2 have each other & to be alive like isnt that enough

MINDS IS WHN MY HOUSE BURN DWN WHN I WAS N SCHOOL AND ME AND MY FAMILY LOST EVERYTHING WHN DA HOUSE BURN DWN AND MY SCHOOL AND THE RED CROSS AND MORE PEOPLE HELP US OUT DAT GAVE US CLOTHES,SHOES DAT GAVE US EVERYTHING WE NEEDED IF IT WASNT 4 SEM I DNT KNO WAT MY FAMILY WOULD DO THANK GOD DAT SUM PEOPLE GOT GUD HEARTS AND I THANK GOD 4 THEM BC DAT WAS MY BEST CHRISTMAS EVERY AND MY FAMILY HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS IF THE PEOPLE WHO DNT HELP US WE WNT HAVE A CHRISTMAS R A ROOF OVER OUR HEAD AND DAT MY PRICELESS HOLIDAY MEMORY

My most memorable Christmas is the last one my grandma was with us. I was just thinking about it today. I mean I know its been two years but I still can’t believe she is gone. That Christmas was the best I mean we didn’t have the usual family drama like we do on most holidays. The thought of her brought us closer together.All my aunts cooked this time so we had to much food. I mean it was just fun. I believe family and the love of Jesus gives Christmas its true meaning.

Bout two years ago my uncle passed away right before Christmas and it completely crushed me.then bout to days after his funeral i was sleeping and he came to me and we held a conversation for along time and he told me u know I’m OK he said he’s there with his parents and that i shouldn’t be sad but happy that he’s home its weird cause my uncle was a priest so i made me feel so happy that he came to me and talk so that was my most priceless memories.

I can honestly say that I don’t remember jus havin anything priceless besides my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,my family and a few real deal friends.I’ve never been able to really give any1 anything for Christmas and that feeling is priceless,because when you wanna jus do somethin for a loved 1,no matter how big or small and you not able,that really hurts.I really don’t expect anything in return because I feel that by them jus bein there when I really need them is sometimes jus enough 4 me.Its means alot and warms my heart,because that shows they care.But I God will make a way 4 me to be able to help ppl tha way they’ve helped me,I truly believe and I am waitin oh so patiently.

My father was diagnosed with prostate and bone cancer in June of this year. This year our Christmas celebration will truly be priceless as we are not sure how much time he has left. I am truly blessed to be able to spend this holiday season with my father.

My priceless New year! 12/31/1999 was the night before the millenium and i was turning 21 @ midnight (my birthday is Jan. 1st) So i am local in my home state of Massachusetts. It was just before the count down which i am always able to get a kiss with it being my birthday and all, but this “Special” occassion i convince this girl that i’ve always wanted to sleep with from around the way that we should have sex because the world could end and all computer’s might crash by tomorrow morning. I dont know if it was the drinks , the weed or the millenium hype but i got my first one night stand of my life! and shorty looks good got pic to prove!
Getting in club- $30.00 (i didnt pay used millenium/b-day close)
4 shots of Henny- $22.oo(paid for none used same close i swear)
1 night stand on your b-day- PRICELESS

My most priceless holiday was when my kids told me on christmas day, that they would rather feed the homeless and donate their toys for christmas, I asked my daughter was she sure?and she responded by saying”we are blessed mommy and i would like to bless others” I said you are surely right. It was a very touching moment.

it’s not the materialthings that are priceless it’s being able to have another christmas with my family.i have breast cancer had surgery and made it through.we were all scared and didn’nt know what would happen.i’m doing better and want to be able to give my kids a great christmas.

My most priceless holiday was 12/18/05 I was losing alot of blood & the Dr. did not know from where.I had just lost my housing and was going through a divorce, was getting evicted & the engine to my car broke..I needed the surgery but the chances was not good wow how could this all be going on right before christmas. Meanwhile I only have a blood count of 4 so I was already dead they figured. I had the surgery and then did not come from under the anesthesia for 2 days until my youngest son cried on my breast and said all he wanted for christmas was me to wake up and I did all praises due to GOD I came home christmas eve. 01/07 I won my housing back & moved. Thank you Jesus…fast forward 12/09 I’m still separated and carless the engine is still broke…lol…but I have my life which has humbled me beyond belief..Live,Laugh & Love life to the fullest.

I would say my most priceless holiday would be last Christmas when my whole family came together in five years. My family and I haven’t celebrated Christmas since my father figure aka Granddaddy passed away with lung cancer five years ago. Last Christmas was the first time I had seen my Mother, sister and Great Grandma in two years since I moved out when I was 18. Since my family and I don’t have family functions like we use to anymore, last Christmas would be my most “memorable, but priceless” time for us to be together and be able to laugh again.

GROWING UP IN NEW ORLEANS JUST LIVING TO SEE CHRISTMAS IS PRICELESS. BUT I CAN SAY MY MOST PRICELESS CHRISTMAS IS WHEN I TREATED MYSELF TO A DRUM MACHINE WITH MY LAST CHECK FROM MCDONALDS IN 2004. IN MY HOUSEHOLD WE WENT MANY YEARS WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE LET ALONE GIFTS. I CREATED SOME OF MY BEST MIXTAPES WITH THAT AKAI ONLY TO LOSE IT TO HURRICANE KATRINA. BUT THAT MOTIVATED ME TO CREATE MORE MUSIC ONLINE, BUILD MY OWN WEBSITE(WWW.OUTTCRUSHINENT.COM), LAUNCH MY OWN LABEL(O.U.T.T. CRU$HIN’ ENTERTAINMENT), ATTEND COLLEGE TO STUDY MUSIC BUSINESS, PATICIPATE IN MANY FREESTYLE BATTLES(WHICH I NEVER LOST), AND REALIZE THAT THROUGH ALL THE HARDSHIPS/POVERTY STRIKEN SITUATIONS I’VE LIVED THRU THAT GOD HAD A PLAN FOR ME AND IT WAS TO BE INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AS A RAPPER/PRODUCER/EXECUTIVE. NOW THANKS TO MY PAST I CAN AND WILL MAKE MY KIDS FUTURE BRIGHT AND SHOW THEM THAT THE WAY WE GREW UP IN THE STREETS OF NEW ORLEANS IS NOT THE TYPE OF LIFE DESTINED FOR YALL..PEACE AND GOD BLESS..DAGREATBEA$T!!!!

I know my Christmas would be PRICELESS. Up until the this past Thanksgiving, my family’s bond was becoming separated. My mama and grandma fought over something so insignificant that caused them to stop talking, completely. Of all my twenty years, I have never witnessed so much hurt and anger between these two wonderful women. Then I get a phone call that my brother is in jail for the second time since August, and won’t be able to go to court until January. I couldn’t take no more mad news.

Right before Thanksgiving my moms and grandma apologized and helped my holiday wonderful. My Christmas will be PRICELESS because I’m coming home from college to find my mama and grandma together like always, and showing each other Christmas cheer. I think Christmas is going to be both a BLESSING and PRICELESS; even though my brother is behind bars. Knowing he is safer in there than out here makes the pain easier to deal with.

My most priceless memory came on Christmas Day 2008. I became the pround singe mother of a little boy named De’Anthoni on June 25, 2008. I started planning around then what I would do for my son first Christmas. After much planning and shopping the much awaited day finally came. My family told me that I shoudn’t have spent he amount of money I did because he would never remember it and he was only six months so he wouldnt understand but I believed he did. De’Anthoni woke up around 7 a.m that morning and I took him downstairs. He crawled over to the christmas tree and I followed him. I picked up a gift and sat it in front of him and he started to moved it around and eventualy teared into it with my assistance. Once we opened all of his gifts he looked up at me with this look in his eye like he was saying thank you and I teared up instantly. My son is my pride and joy. He is my life and I am thankful to God everyday for blessing me with this little bundle of joy. I may struggle to take care of him and may not be able to give him everything but he is always there showering me with his love as I do to him. That is why my son and his first Christmas is my most priceless memory.

well for the last 2 years i have not had a priceless memory. My mom past and it left me the weight of raising my sisters and brother plus my kids. Being a single mom living paycheck to paycheck, its hard to make certain things happen. This year my only wish is to have the money to make everyone happy(presents and all) this christmas,being able to get the kids what they want and cook a good meal to bring the family back together.

I might not have alot of money but every holiday I have family and that is priceless…………

The most priceless memory Ive ever had was on my 21st bithday (which is christmas). My freinds know that my family doesnt celebrate the holidays and they arent very big on birthdays either so they made a christmas/birthday surprise for me which lasted from the time we woke up till we shut our eyes again. They started the day off with breakfast for us and then we went to feed familes who didnt have much for christmas and gave out presents. That was such a big thing for me because that was the main reason my family doesnt celebrate the holidays, they believe that people who have less than others need help and they get overshadowed during the holidays. They gave up money and time that they couldve spent on themselves and with family to give to others who needed it more just because they knew it was what I wanted. Even if I dont win this contest, I have the best friends in the world and that is priceless.

My priceless holiday was christmas 2001. My mom got sober in July 2001 and it was the first christmas where i got to spend it with her in her right mind. I didn’t get much that year but the best thing I did received was her. She’s been sober since. :)

I would have to say my most priceless holiday was Christmas of 2006, My daughter was born on December 20th my special early christmas gift and my wonderful grandfather passed away on December 22nd of bone cancer and no matter what he never forgot that I was having a baby. The day after she was born we went to visit him and he smiled and grabbed my hand when we told him she was born , the very next day he passed away. That Christmas was a hard one but Kailah Janae’ was a blessing and she made that holiday a little easier with her in the world. Rest in peace Max Oshie

my most priceless moment was last christmas,my bestfriend from when i was 9 showed up at my house on christmas,to see me cause she didnt have no more than a month to live,and she said if finding me was the last thing she did,she was gone die trying, than a day after new years she past.thats my most priceless moment

My most priceless holiday moment was back in 1986. I was in the Marine Corps and stationed in California. My unit went on a combined arms exercise with the Army and the Air Force. My unit commander advised all of us that we should not be expecting to go home for the holidays as this training wouldn’t be over until the middle of January. On Christmas eve i managed to call my parents an let them know that their only son wouldn’t be home as i had promised them earlier that year. Later on that day at around 6pm the Battalion Commander informed all officers that the exercise has concluded and all personnel who put in for leave had been granted. Being from Philly, it was hard as hell to find a flight on Christmas eve at short notice. Well i found a non stop flight from Cali to Philly leaving at 11pm. I arrived in Philly around 5am and waited two hours at the airport for a cab. When i pulled to my home, my mom was talking with the neighbors outside. The look on her face almost brought me to tears (the happy kind). She was so happy that i actually heard her scream. I just recently moved my parents into my home and i’m looking forward to adding more great memories of spending the holidays with them.

my most priceless holiday memory is from last years christmas. My mother was diagnoised with breast cancer for the second time last april and we were all shocked and sad that my mother, who is only 45 years old would have to suffer thru the chemo and operations all over again. a month after my mother was diagnoised, her sister (my aunt) was also diagnoised. our family was very upset and worried about the two of them. after the surgeries and treatments they both were pretty sick and tired…anyway by december of last year they both where cancer free and recovering…we had a lot to be thankful for on thanksgiving as well as christmas…we had the whole family together, thankful to GOD that he allowed my mother and aunt to be strong enough to fight and survive breast cancer. christmas and the holidays are more than just presents and food…it should bring families together, that might be too busy to do things with each other during the rest of the year…while i love shopping and wrapping gifts for my kids, i also love just being around my whole fam…i hope my kids get more from the holidays then just the commerical stuff…i hope that have great memories each and every year

My most priceless Christmas was 2002. My mom came to my house for christmas. My Dad Came down too. It was the best christmas ever yet we had no presents. This had been the first christmas in 20 years where I had my Mom and my Dad in the same house. It was the last Christmas I got to spend with my Mom she Passed in June 2003. PRICELESS

*that they*

In October 2003 I moved from Brooklyn, NY to Warren, Ohio, a small town about an hour away from Cleveland. At that time, I was depressed about leaving my favorite city and did not want to return to Ohio. When I arrived it was cold, dark and unfamiliar.

My children and I settled into our new apartment without curtains, furniture, TV or food. I started a telemarketing job the next day and that turned out to be a disaster. If you have ever cursed out, yelled at or dogged a telemarketer calling your house trying to get you to buy something or switch your phone company or long distance, then you know what I’m talking about. To top it off, I wasn’t making much money because I was a terrible salesperson and could hardly ever convince anyone to switch to my company so my paycheck looked like garbage.

I was surprised by my neighbors’ kindness when they gave me curtains to replace the newspaper I had up to the windows and the local church organization brought over a tree, lights, toys, small appliances and furniture for my new apartment.

From homelessness to housing, from nothing to a little bit, I appreciated everything that they did for me and I sent them a thank you letter. The lady who organized the help for my children and I had a son who was soon going to Iraq and I made sure to include them in my prayers of thanks. Since that time, I have made sure to give whenever I can to homeless people or people asking me for change. It reminds me of when someone had to help me. I volunteer as much as I can as a way to give thanks and to give back because I won’t ever forget when it was my turn to get help and I got it, praise be to The Most High.

December 25th 2008 , Was my last Christmas that I was able to enjoy with my Ex’s family and love one’s , it was a great experience but most of all a blessing to me because I had never knew what it was to feel the love of a family especially in the most important holiday of the year. It was a gift to me to being able to give which it’s has always been since the day I was born and I continue to give because it’s in my heart , These day is priceless to me because the outcome of seeing everyone’s face and the Joy and the LOVE that we all share in that same living room was just so priceless to me and it was all that mattered to me. This is a moment I can share with everyone and something I can cherish all my life. Thank you … Much Love Jeannette and I know it’s a bit early but MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL….

I would have to say that during my childhood times all of my Christmas’s where very priceless. I always got everything I wanted from my brother and parents, But for the past 10 years my Christmas’s has been different because my brother is in prison doing 27 years for trafficking drugs and my grandfather passed and it has been really rough for me. I have managed to be very positive these last 10 years by pursuing a college degree and raising a son who is 4 years old now, and it seems that every time Christmas comes around I cannot supply my son with the gifts that he deserved and it does hurt, but I know we have life and that is a lot to be thankful for and I do. I would love to have this money to be able to buy my son gifts, but my Christmas would be special if I could have my brother home, because he deserves to be home with his family, the ones who love him. Thanks and have a wonderful Christmas! “Bring It Back”

$1,000?? THIS DUDE IS TALKIN ABOUT HE GOT MONEY TO BLOW AND HE’S ONLY GIVING AWAY A “G”! YEA RIGHT HE CAN KEEP THAT MESS! ARE U SERIOUS!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
ITS A DAMN RECESSION… I CANT EVEN BUY AN OUTFIT WITH $1,000 SMDH

To some this isnt much but to my family this would make a world of difference this would bring a smile to my childrens face and a warming to my heart to know that on the holiday we can be together as a family once again….

My priceless christmas was when the neighborhood “crackhead” stole our present’s right out of my grandmother’s trunk. He just stole our x-mas right out of her caddy lol! how we knew it was him was when we saw him walking down the street in a pink sweat suit that my grandmother had brought for me! and then he tried to sell us our nintendo back that he stole from us to begin with! Let’s just say that it went down in East Oakland that night like the scene from “Do the right thang” when Radio Raheem got killed!!!!!

My priceless christmas was December 14, 2007 when may son was born…….no he wasn’t born on Christmas but he was my Christmas present…..he’s the best thing that’s ever happen to me since I was brought into this world!!!!

The Best Memory:
When I think of it, its like it was just yesterday. This was the Christmas of 2002. As I think about it a really crucial time in my life. I was wrongly accused of a crime at my high school that forced me to leave and go to a school in another city. Facing time for a crime I didn’t comment. So no friends and also at this time my parents started having problems and temporary spit up for my whole senior year. I played basketball at the time, my school Eisenhower in Rialto California was good, real good. Now being at another school, I still played, but the team wasn’t what I was used to. My new team was losing bad. No dad at my games just my momma. While I was used to winning a lot and also Eisenhower went on to win a ring in C.I.F. which I missed. That means no ring for me. So its Christmas time, my family’s broke up. I’m the youngest in my family so this year with no dad it was jus me and mom. I only wanted two things for this Christmas which was: a racing jacket ( Goodwrench black/ sliver) and a pair of my favorite shoes ( Jordan retro 11) that i found on the internet that were also black and sliver to match my jacket. Christmas day no dad, was upset the whole time cause it was actually the first time I ever had Christmas with out him. It hurt a lot, not even a call from him. So i was disappointed. It was alright cause my mom did her best to cheer me up. And I tried my best to do the same for her. She broke out the racing jacket, it put a smile on my face. The shoes I had seen on the internet so, they had to be shipped from china I think. My mom bought them for me, but they were to be shipped so that takes time. The whole time I’m worried cause I thought they wouldn’t make it in time for Christmas. I asked about the shoes, what mail came, did they come at all . She said ” Naw I’m sorry baby boy they didn’t.” So I felt like it was just one disappoint after another. So with all that weight on my shoulders, I made a decision to go to my room and sleep the rest of Christmas, but when I got to my room, what do u know a box of fresh Jordans were sitting on my floor. My mom be hide me and said, ” Adam, what do u know your shoes came yesterday.” They had just made it the day before Christmas. So my mom and I laughed and enjoyed the rest of Christmas together just me and her. That was the best present I ever got cause it came in a time of my life where it seemed like the “the world” was against me. And until this day I still can remember it like it was yesterday.

MY MOST PRICELESS CHRISTMAS IS WHEN I COULDNT HAVE CHRISTMAS FOR MY KIDS OR JUST SEEING THE ONES WHO TIMES ARE HARDER THAN MINES. DUE TO I HAVE STRUGGLE ALMOST MAJORITY OF MY LIFE I HAVE ALWAYS TAUGHT MY KIDS THAT EVEN THOUGH I COULDNT AFFORD GIFTS FOR THEM THAT I COULD SHOW THEM LOVE AS MY GIFT. I DIDNT HAVE MUCH BUT THE LITTLE THINGS I COULD GET FROM THE DOLLER STORE COUNTED NO MATTER WHAT. SO FOR ME THIS IS AND STILL A PAINFUL FEELING BECAUSE NOW I HAVE GRAND CHILDREN AND STILL UNABLE TO PROVIDE CHRISTMAS FOR THEM, AND MY STRUGGLING TIMES STILL CONTINUE. MY FAITH HELPS ME KEEP MY HEAD UP AND MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WALKING IN STRENGTH.

This Thanksgiving was the most priceless holiday ever.On Nov.25,2009 I recieved a phone call from my homeboy in Melbourne,FL he wanted to know if I could help his homeboy find his family he never met ,he was taking at birth.I kept trying to put it off because i knew I needed to cook dinner for my family,something told me to stop and help this young man so, I told him I would try my best.We began to talk and I kept repeating his mother’s name while driving around town and the lady that was in the car was his aunt that he never met .Not knowing his mom was married to my sisters brother-in-law .But he has been calling me every day since not knowing that I knew his intire family.He has tried to pay me ,but I told him I have never been without my family ,just knowing that this young man has a family ,I really did’nt want him to pay me I just wanted him to be happy and he was he cried to me like a baby sying this was the best Thanksgiving ever.I really did’nt care whether there was dinner or not and yes I stayed up cooking from 2am until 5pm Thanksgiving day.

my priceless christmas would have been the christmas of 2003. My mother was treated for cervical cancer, and became extremely ill due to several complications. She was hospitalized for nearly 2 months after beging radiation thearpy. after several weeks of trying to see if she would be able to eat regularly she finally began to hold her food down and was released from the hospital the day befor christmas eve. since then she finshed radiation and chemo andis a success story. She is still with us reminding me to always keep my faith and that God does listen.

MY MOST PRICELESS CHRISTMAS WAS JUST HAVING MY FAMILY SITTING AROUND CRACKING JOKES AN JUST HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME JUST ENJOYING LIFE ANOTHER DAY I STILL GAVE GO THANX JUST FOR LETTING MY FAMILY BE THERE 1 THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD BLESS MY CHRISTMAS IF I GET IT BUT IF NOT I HOPE IT BLESSES SOMEBODY ELSES CHRISTMAS GOD BLESS BIRDMAN AN HIS FAMILY AN I APPRECIATE YOU GIVNG ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.

SINCERELY KHANDI

My most priceless is going to be this year. Since im a college student and my mother is paying over twenty-four thousand for my tutition and is struggling to do so, i just want to give and show her my gratitude, because without her i wouldnt be here. And she told me all she wants from me this year is to boost my GPA as a freshman student, and to graduate from college, and be sucessful. I plan to make this true for her this christmas, so this can be priceless, and show her how much i am thankful for everything she does for me.

My most priceless Christmas was having fun with my Sister. My sister came to visit us from Canada, to spend time with us. My sister was diagnose with Breast Cancer, we felt at the time that she just wanted to come see us, because she knew that she was going to die. It was fun having her around, and then when she went back home, she went into the hospital, and the doctors said that the cancer had spread to her spain,and to her head. my sister died Feb.29 2009.. Janice Henry RIP

MAN I SEE EVERYBODY ON HERE TALKING BOUT FOOD, THINGS THAT HAVE NO MEANING. IT’S SIMPLE, THE MOST PRICELESS THING ON HOLIDAYS IS DO SPEND TIME WITH THOSE U LOVE….YOUR FAMILY. FROM VALENTINE DAY WITH YOUR SPOUSE FROM EASTER WITH YOUR KIDS TIL’ 4TH IF JULY TO HALLOWEEN WITH YOUR HOMIES FROM THANKSGIVING WITH UR ENTIRE FAMILY TIL’ CHRISTMAS WITH THE FAM AGAIN THINKING OF PRESENTS N THE MAN WHO MADE ALL OF US GOD…..

My Priceless Christmas may not be that priceless to others but to me it is,,,2007 my Big Momma passed away in the hospital the day before Christmas..She was my heart…I was the last face that she seen before she left this beautiful place,I gave her closure….PRICELESS ..money cant buy me another Big Momma…I love you and we always wish you was still here during the holidays…

My most priceless holiday was last year In oct of 2008 i was diagnosed with cancer i was hospitalized for a long time and my son was only 3 all i wanted to do was get out of the hospital and spend christmas with him. My son came to the hospital with me on christmas and climbed in the bed and said mommy i dont need any gifts i just want you to get better and come home. I fought and fought to get out of the hospital on jan 2 2009 i was released to go home with constant medication but we set up christmas like it was dec 25 all over again and he opened all his gifts. With my cancer getting worst and us about to loose our home becuase i cant afford christmas gifts let alone all my medical bills my son is still humbel at age 4 that it will all be ok

The most priceless Christmas holiday was when i was 17 in the year of 2008. It all started on December the 19 when my mom started having really bad headaches and her ears would ache if she heard any noise. But then she said she was feeling better and it was time for everyone to go to sleep…but i stayed and slept with her in case she needed me. s
Suddenly i felt a very frightning shake on the bed and it turned out that she(my mom) was having a seisure.
So i tryed to turn her side ways so that she does’nt bite her tongue…while doing that i screamed “some one help mom is having a seisure !!!!”. In a panic my aunt and my twin brother rushed in to help me and to call 911. while my heart was racing the ambulance came to the rescue and transported her inside the ambulance. While my mom was in the ambulance she had three seisure’s, which adds up to four seisure’s that occured on the same night. When we arrived at the hospital the doctor told me and my family that my mother went into acoma and that they are trying to find out what is wrong with her. Around two o clock in the morning the doctor came back to me and my family to tell us that she has the West Nile Virus. I was crying and in shock because only three people in the Broward County had the Virus and one of them was my mom. What really worried me is that out of the three women, one of the women died. Then the doctor told us that she lost a amount ov her sight and her brain cant work as it used to because of the blood clots she had on the side of her brain due to the seisures. Most of all, three days of hard praying had past, and it was now the 23rd and miraculously my mom woke up from acoma and the whole family was so happy with tears and smiles.On December 24th (which is Chritmas Eve )the doctor told me and my family that my mom has been treated and is not infected with the West Nile Virus any more. The doctor also said that my mom has regained all of her sight back and that it will take her some time to walk by herself and do all the things she used to do like she used to before she got sick and that she may have to go to therapy and stay in the hospital for a while if she is not showing any more improvement.
Sadly i could see my little sister and twin brother where about to cry, because our mother could not spend christmas with her family. So we said our see you tomarrow’s to our mom and gave her a big kiss and told her how much we loved her and went home. When we got home we were so tired and thankful that are mother was doing well. Finally the next day was December the 25th!!! and we woke up and opened are presents with happiness and laughter. but then we heard a knock at the door and with excitement my little sister open the door and it was my mom and a nurse standing at the door!…the nurse told us that she was released because she is doing very well and that she is here with her to take care of her and take her to therapy until she gets better. Oh! we were so happy and gave her kisses and hugs and presents…But we didnt need any presents from her because are present was her (are mother).And what made it priceless was my mother being ok, alive, and here for Chritmas.

$1000 AINT NUTTIN! I RAN THROUGH A G” IN 2 DAYS BY ACCIDENT!

My most priceless holiday memory was Christmas 2008 when me and all my siblings gathered at our dad’s family Christmas party. We just sat around and talked to our dad and we even took pictures as a family. We didn’t know it was going to be our last Christmas with him. He passed about 3 weeks later, it’s on of the once in a life time priceless moments for me. It isn’t common to have all five of us in a room together and it was the first time 7 years we we’re all together with our dad. He didn’t even know that we were coming and his world lite up when he saw all of us there together. R.I.P. Artis Woodard Sept.19,1952-Jan.17,2009…

My most PRICELESS holiday memory:
When I was ten i was taken away from my family and put into fostor care. Not because my parents didn’t want me, but because the “courts” said that they where not fit to take care of me..(cough)bulls**t(cough). No there are all these families with parents on drugs and abusing their children, but my parents werent like this… I went through 6 terrible years of fostor care(which i will not talk about…it was that bad) On my 5th year i got up enough courage to run away from fostor care.. I ended up hooking back up with my dad and i just had my first thanksgving with my family in six years.. A REAL THANKSGIVING.. finally… That first bite into some turkey andmy dad’s smile on his face was PRICELESS..

My most priceless holiday memory.
Was Christmas of 1998 all my family came over to my house to eat Christmas dinner and open presents. This was priceless because that year I didnt think there was going to be a family Christmas dinner and there was and it was at my house. Alot of my family was there even my dad’s side of the family and they usually dont come over that often.

My most priceless moment was last christmas. Usually around christmas every year something seem to happen unexpected where i really can’t get my children anything for christmas. And about a week from christmas i have to make a sacrifice with some of the bills so that they will have a good christmas and i worry about the bill afterwards. Just to see the smiles on there faces christmas morning is so special to me. Well last december someone stole my check out of the mail about a week brfore christmas and i was not able to get them anything for christmas. I explained to them what had happened and they came to me and said, ” Momma it’s ok if you can’t get us anything this year because we know you work so hard all year to take care of all five of us by yourself everyday and that is enough, they said being their mom is all the presents they need. This was such a priceless moment for me i started to cry because i really did’nt expect to hear this from these children especially at christmas time.

My priceless Holiday was about 4 years ago when my son had open heart surgery when he was one. When he came through the surgery i was happy to have my son in my arms. I thank god my son is alive. That the best and priceless christmas i every had. My is 6 and doing great

My most priceless moment would have to be this coming christmas. I havn’t been the type to ask for anything because I always had. For the first time in my life I won’t be able to get my family anything for chirstmas maybe some houseshoes or something small. I’ve been looking for a job since March of 2008 not only to help better myself but to make things easier on my mom and dad because at times like these it takes a whole family to make things happen. Everyday I’m up at 8:oo o’clock on the phone calling people to see if they’re hiring waiting on my brother to get home from school around ten so that I can hit the pavement to put in applications and talk to managers. My mom and dad work really hard for us just to make it week to week. As hard as I try it seems as if things get deeper and deeper but I guess its true what they say the harder you go the harder the problems. I love my mom and dad with all my heart and I want to give them the christmas that they’ve always given me. I feel they deserve to see that even though they know I’ve made mistakes and am doing my all plus some to grow into a man that they raised me to be. I thank them for being there for me when it seemed like no one else would and for us to be able to spend christmas together knowing that it’s more than what we use to have because we now have more of each other than we have ever had before. To my family Mom, Dad, and My lil big Brother Luv ya’ll and Stay blessed. :)

My most priceless Christmas was my son’s very first christmas. Everyone was there 2 him celebrate he’s the last grandchild, n watching him open his toys, it was a happy time 4 us both both…he the joy of my life n many more years 2 come..

You now what, I would have to say that it was December 24, 2007, and my grandmother was on her death bed at her home in Alabama, and I didnt want to see her that way any longer and also I was in anticipation for my acceptance letter to Ohio State and even though she suffered from Alzheimer’s, she understood that I wanted to get into this college. So she sent for me to come down and I did and she asked was I accepted and I told her, I doubt if I am. She kissed my hand and went to sleep. I went on the computer to check my application process and I was accepted! I screamed and ran to tell my granny, she was awake and she knew exactly why I was yelling. I hugged her, then exactly 1 hour later, she passed….this moment was priceless because my grandmother witnessed her only grandchild going to college. I MISS YOU SO MUCH GRANNY :) because of you, I am in my junior year still going strong!

The most priceless christmas for me was when I was very young, still in my teens (19) I had my son and we had our own place, and my mother still had me fooled. I found out there was no Santa Claus that year, because I was a struggling single mom, had fell out with moms, and didn’t have any money, I couldn’t buy presents, and so on xmas day I woke up and was in tears cause I didn’t get anything and neither did my son. Dah! talk about parents really going all out for xmas, from that point on I started volunteering and one year my kids (at this point had 2 kids) went to volunteer and got to shop for other kids there age and the fire fighters had a party for the volunteers and at the end, the toys they shopped for on behalf of the kids, were given to my kids. So the moral of that lesson for them was that it’s better to give. Helping someone else, spending time with family and friends, and realize that we need each other.

OMG FIRST OF ALL SOME OF YOU REALLY TOUCHED ME I WAS CRYING READING SOME OF YOUR RESPONSES IF THATS TRUE WHAT YOU ALL SHARED GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU WILL BE OK JUST PRAY.

My most priceless christmas memory. Well I would have to say it would be this. In June of 2006 my youngest son passed away. So even though I was going through alot I tried to make christmas as normal as possible for my other 2 children. So christmas morning my oldest comes down in the living room and sees me crying my eyes out. And he goes mommy whats wrong. I wipe my face and tell him nothing like i always do when I’m upset. And he goes mommy you miss my brother don’t you. Which made me cry even harder. He hans me a tissue and says mommy i’ll be right back. He goes up stairs and says mommy merry christmas. And hands me a gift. When i opened it there was a picture of all 3 of my boys. My son goes mommy this is so kameron will be able to be with me and Konnor and he can watch up open up gifts because this is his first christmas with us. I grabbed my son and cried even more. Because a part of me really did think that he understood the loss. But he didn’t want me to be sad either. Because he wanted me to know that him and his brothers were going to open up gifts together like he wanted even though his brother is playing with the angels. (In heaven). This story might be a little sad to some but it means alot to be. And everything that i went through with losing a child and me feeling like a part of me was buried in june 2006, My son tried to make our christmas special. (Mommy loves you guys. My boys)

My priceless holiday was December 2002. This was the year my first daughter was born. (12/22/02). All my husband and my family came to see her. She brought everybody together which has not happened since that year. She was the first grand baby out of what is now 10 grand children. We have pictures and memories of her and her grandfather which pasted away in 2005. He was the heart of his family and since his passing my husband and his family have not been the same. It is truly amazing how a new life is a blessing that will never have a price. Any priceless holiday should always include family.

My most memorable holiday moment is a mix of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

One thanksgiving the family was on their way to Florida as usual to spend with my uncle down there. My grandmother and my cousin along with his wife and kids left earlier that day to avoid some traffic. me and family stayed behind to wait for my dad to get off work. it was a dark damp dreary morning. it had been raining so the roads were wet and it was still kind of sprinkling when my grandparents and cousins left.

well me my sister and my mother were all dressed and ready to go my daddy had just got home and we were waiting for him to take his bath and put on his travelin clothes so we could leave. we get a phone called that my cousins had been in an accident and they were all rushed to the hospital. what had happened was there was an accident on I-95 my cousins who was driving swerved out to avoid the trucks and stuff he lost control hit the rail at an angle that caused the car to bounce back and hit the fire truck smashing the backseat in. those in the front seat sustained minor aches pains scratches but those in the back…………… one was in the hosiptal for a few days while the youngest their only son had died. his carseat was positioned low enough such that his little three year old body was crushed. we all rushed down to be with everyone and my uncle from florida came up to the hotel where we all where staying. the hotel let us have our thanksgivin day feast in their dining room and we were able to use their kitchen and make the best out of this horrible situation. we all scraped together money to stay long enough for my cousin that had survived to get out of the hospital. about two weeks later we had his funeral(my cousin that died).

my grandmother was torn to pieces. she had bought him a nice motorcycle for Christmas because that was what he like but he never had a chance to play with it so to help soothe my grandmothers heart and so he could have a motorcycle with him, it was buried with and remains there with him today. A bittersweet moment for everyone.

MY MOST PRICELESS MOMENT WAS LAST CHRISTMAS 2008 AND MY SISTER’S HOUSE ME AND HER ARE A YEAR APART, WE SPENT CHRISTMAS AT HER HOUSE. THE FOOD AND THE GIFT SHARING WAS PRICELESS WE ARE A VERY CLOSE KNIT FAMILY AND EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL, SPENDING TIME WITH MY SISTER’S, BROTHER, AND MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS, AND MOST OF ALL MY MOTHER.WE SHARED STORIES AND PICTURES AND LAUGHED AND TALKED, VERY PRICELESS…….. WELL,THIS YEAR FEBRUARY 2009 I LOST MY SISTER AND MY NEPHEW IN A HOUSE FIRE AND IT WAS A SHOCK TO MY WHOLE FAMILY BECAUSE IT WAS UNEXPECTED! I’M JUST GLAD I GOT TO SHARE 37 PRICELESS YEAR’S WITH MY BABY SISTER, THAT NO ONE CAN REPLACE.THEY ARE GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!! REST IN PEACE TERESA AND DORAIN………..

Well I think my most priceless chirstmas was back in 2006 I had just gain custody back of my 5 kids and just given birth to my 6th one in august and living in a 2 bedroom apartment with no money for chirstmas we get a knock on the door so how god answer my prays because a preschool class came to our apartment with gift for the kids to me tho all that matter was having them home for chirtmas with me which was a blessing in its own cus before they came home i was truley lost because my childern are my heart no matter what.

I AM A SINGLE MOM OF TWO IN THE GEORGIA NATIONAL GUARD. 2005 I LEFT TO BE DEPLOYED TO IRAQ IN MAY. THE FIRST DAY I ARRIVED IN BADAGH I WENT TO TO PX AND ALMOST GOT BLOWN UP A COUPLE OF SOLDIER GOT HURT BUT THEY MADE IT THUR THEIR INJURIES. I WAS SO AFRAID i JUST WANTED TO GET THE HELL OUT OF THEIR. THUR ALL THE BOMBS AND MY FRIENDS GETTING KILLED WITH FELT LIKE THEY WERE A PART OF MY FAMILY AND I HAD MET THE ONE THEM ONE TIME OR ANOTHER WHILE I WAS THERE. WHEN WE ALL ARRIVED BACK TO THE WORLD MEANING THE USA, I MISSED EVERYONE THAT I SERVED WITH OVER THERE. THAT CHRISTMAS IN 2006 WE ALL CAME TOGETHER AS MANY AS POSSIBLE AND HAD A HEART FELT GATHER WAS THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER.

i guess it my most memorable moment is christmas.
last year was my great grandmothers 99th birthday on christmas day and my mom would always get her a cake and we fussed about how old she was so my mom got the cake and we both went ova to my grandma and the cake said happy 100th birthday only thing was she was only 99 well we laugh and laugh but here we are arroaching my grandmothers 100th birthday and my moms gone she died in june of this year from a brain aneurysm so i guess im wonderin if my mom knew she wasnt gonna be around long that she had to put a 100 on that cake nothin really mean nothing no more to me cause here i am 23 and my brother is 13 and we will miss our first christmas without our mother.

My most priceless moment would have to be Christmas of 2008. My great uncle had been very sick and was told that he wouldn’t see last Christmas, but he made it although he was still very sick. We usually have our Christmas gathering at his house, but because of his illness it was at my great aunt’s house. Even though we gather each year for Christmas, this particular time we have family from all over to visit. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. We were all crying because it was a miracle for him to still be with us and for us all to be together. We went around the room and spoke about how happy we were that we could be together. I spoke about how special my family was to me and how much I appreciated them having been to college and seeing others in situations I would never want to be in. I would give anything for my great uncle to be here for this Christmas, but he passed in April of this year due to complications with this heart. My family is the most important thing to me. My entire life my family has been the one thing I could depend on no matter what. I owe everything to the people that have supported me my whole life. Though this Christmas won’t be complete without him, I am grateful to have known for as long as I did.

Wow so many priceless moments…But the most memorable sticks out in my mind.
Christmas of 2005…I was home from Hurricane Katrina.

First week of Senior year at Xavier University in New Orleans, my special year as Miss Xavier- lol queen of all she surveys!…$500 worth of text books just purchased….On a retreat with my community service organization in Mississippi…rushing back to New Orleans after word of the storm….my tears as I find out I have to stay with my family members in the city instead of leave with my best friends…..

FASTFORWARD 48 HOURS: Sitting in Charity hospital trapped with my family…wondering how the heck are we going to be rescued….
A week with no power, little food, the smell of dead bodies on the floor below me (since the morgue had flooded), a small battery-powered radio filled with the screams and cries of those trapped in rising water while on the phone in their homes..dehydrated, panicked as those around me panic for their children and family members…passing out from the fear of knowing my parents in California were beyond words of worry…..Most of all singing every praise song know to man with my Aunt- calling on God’s strength and mercy to bring us out.
I made it home…
California, two weeks later…both sides of my family losing everything, losing family members in the process…losing a semester of school, and looking back on it now…losing a little of my mind too.
That Christmas Eve…after my aunt and uncle left to rebuild their lives, after my other uncle left for Texas to reunite with his family…
I remember finishing the meaning of the Christmas story with my mom, dad, sister, and brother….
My heart tore and I broke down.
Broke down for myself, that God saw fit to spare my 22 year old life,
That through all the chaos and commotion He knew I had a purpose to fulfill in this lifetime…So many lives were taken, so many innocent victims passed before they make their mark…Feeling the thankfulness of surviving but the weight of “why me”….
Broke down from the uncertainty of my future path…once so clear, now my vision of school, timeframes, and direction seemed blurry…Rebuilding would have to happen for me too….
Broke down for my family….New Orleans being the legacy of my family for generations, now all spread throughout the country in dissaray…
Broke down from the love…
The love of God
The love of my family…knowing that my experience was their experience. Every moment I cried they cried a 1000 more tears in hopes of my safety.
The love of knowing I was home. It didn’t take a house or a college or a city…. Those four individuals were HOME for me. Wherever they are, my soul is filled.

I could have cared less about the presents, the beautiful tree and decorations my mom put up, the great smelling gumbo cooking for Christmas day…..Life was all that mattered….life was my ultimate gift. Since Christmas 2005….this Angel’s LIFE has changed forever~
Blessings.

December 2005 was the most priceless, memorable Christmas of my children and I. The week before I ran away from a 2 year abusive relationship. I waited until he left for work and I literally got into my car with my children and headed east. We had $50 and I managed to get what I could out of the house that would fit into the car.

I couldn’t go where I knew anyone because I was so scared of what could happen. We left Austin and drove until the car ran out of gas, and I am not playing. It was right outside of Midland Texas, home of our EX president B. I had never heard of Midland and didn’t know anyone here but I learned very quickly how giving these people are.

A woman stopped and helped to help us and that was the first time I cried because I was happy, thankful… She told me of a shelter and immediately she helped me get in there, this lady never left my side. We had never been in a shelter and everyone was scared but these people clothed and fed us. But it was DECEMBER 25th that opened my eyes and helped me to change my perception on life.

On that Christmas, my children were all given three toys each, in which I hadn’t been able to do because if it were electronic gifts from others he would sell them or he wouldn’t give me the money in three years for anything for them. My children were asked what they wanted and they were given three of those items. They all received jackets, new, and three outfits, and socks, underwear, scarves, gloves, and shoes. They were so happy. I cried. Then I was asked what I wanted and no matter how many time I said nothing they kept asking me and I replied that all I wanted to do was finally go to college.

On Christmas day, I was given a full scholarship for college at Midland College in which I graduated in May of ’08 with my associates and I will be graduating again in Dec. ’10 with my Bachelor’s in Psychology.

December 2005 changed my life. And in return, I will give back to those in similar situations…..

Whether I win or not domestic violence is a serious situation, especially if you have children. Don’t be afraid to run, run until your feet bleed if you have to because your life and those who depend on you is priceless and once you understand that you are someone your life will become precious to YOU.

I meant to say West…

what some wont do to sell an album

MY PRICELESS CHRISTMAS WAS 2008 WHEN I GOT TO SPEND CHRISTMAS MORNING WATCHING MY CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN OPENING UP THEIR GIFTS. THEY DID NOT KNOW WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A CHRISTMAS BECAUSE I HAD JUST LOST MY JOB. TO SIT AT THE DINNER TABLE LISTENING TO THEM LAUGH AND TELL THE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WHAT THEY GOT WAS PRICELESS!

that song go hard

ps damm i feel sorry for the ppl that have to judge (some ppl wrote a godam life story)
ppl R writing BS trying to get sympaty

My most memorable holiday moment will be “THIS CHRISTMAS” December 25, 2009 as well as this Thanksgiving too. YOu know why!!!????!!!
Because I was born and raised a Jehovahs Witness..yeah you feel my pain already. No not really. My life has been pretty ok I had some good friends and bad ones nothing directly connected to being a JW persay. However this year I got disfellowshipped and I took it so hard!!!
( for having a lesbian experience with my ex-girlfriend and smoking some weed) but I was sorry. The elders called me a freak, said I wasn’t repentant and that I was anxious for the ways of the world…when I was just doing the best that I could and I fell. Doesn’t the bible say we are all susceptible to failure…I mean damn what do you expect we are born sinners. Anything I do besides sinning is a gift in itself.

I lost some people close to me including family and friends because I was kicked out and I didn’t want to be! I was happy where I was and I just needed help to get better. Thats just a little background info.

The real reason why I can and will have the best holiday season is because I learned the most valuable lesson of all this year,”My love for god and his ways are a part of me no matter what religion I am part of and being told by other god-fearing people that your not doing your best doesn’t mean a damn thing” as long as I am true to myself and the creator as I know him.

I had the best thanksgiving with my boyfriend and his family…..the food was da BOMB!! she put her feet toenails and ankles in dat food and I tasted cranberry sauce and dressing for the first time!!! And Christmas will be even better wit $1000.00. So if you would like to make an even better memory for someone now instead of some old memory. PICK MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOU BIRDMAN AND LIL WAYNE AND THE WHOLE FAMILY

THE MOST PRICELESS CHRISTMAS I CAN REMEMBER IS WHEN OHIO HAD IT’S VERY WORST ICE STORM EVERY 48HOURS RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS DAY AND ALL THE POWER WAS OUT IN OHIO FOR WEEKS AND THE STREETS WHERE HORRIBLE. DEPENDING ON WHO AND WHERE YOU WHERE IN THE CITY THE ONLY THING YOU HAD TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY OF THAT IT WAS A TIME OF REJOICING AND GRIEF WAS THE CARE-FREE LOOK AND SMILES FROM THE CHILDREN ON THAT PARTICULAR CHRISTMAS MORNING. CONSIDERING NO CHRISTMAS DINNER AND BARELY ANY GIFTS WRAPPED BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICITY OUTAGE. WOW, NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN MY LIFE BUT I KNEW I HAD TO REMAIN HUMBLE FOR MY CHILDREN AND BE THANKFUL THAT WE WERE PUT IN SHELTER IN THE TIME OF NEED.

MY MOST PRICELESS MOMENT I THINK IS EVERY YEAR. MY CHILDREN WHO DO NOT LIVE WITH ME ARE SURPRISED EVERY YEAR WHEN THEY GET TO SEE ME. BUT I ALSO HAVE TWO OTHER CHILDREN WHO DO NOT GET TO SEE ME BECAUSE OF THE PPL THEY LIVE WITH, SO FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SEE AND SPEND THIS CHRISTMAS ARE ANY WOULD BE A PRICELESS GIFT FOR ME AND THEIR SIBLINGS. I TRY HARD TO SEE THEM BUT SOMETIMES TRYING JUST ISN’T ENOUGH.

Well my most priceless moment for the holidays would have had to been last year during New Years!!! My Christmas wasn’t the best, because my brother had just passed and everybody’s spirits where low about it, and the energy for Christmas had went right out the window. So for New Years I had told myself I was going to go all out, do it big, and start the year off right. And that I did! I can remember it like it was last night. I had been shopping for the right outfit for like 3 days before, came up with this hot to def one piece bebe jumpsuit with some rockin gold stilettos. Yes, oh yes I was ready for my night. New Years eve came around and I was ready to hit the streets, didn’t know where I was going but I was going to end up some where. Every body was talking about going downtown on Beale Street here in Memphis so I took a jump for it. Me and my best friend Brittney got in my car and just went. The 1st stop was the club “level 2” and yes oh yes it was poppin. Went straight thru the VIP doors no questions and no waitin in lines. Felt like a movie star at my opening movie. LOL. Got to the VIP area and drinks where waitin like they just knew what I wanted before even asking. Spent about 2 hours in the club and was ready to make my next stop. Beale Street here we come. Got to Beale street and the blocks where packed from light to light. But it was all good me and my girl just parked our car at the gas station and started walking over to Beale. People where every where; guys where looking and asking for names. And for once females where giving compliments instead of hating (maybe a few where hating but you know how that is, lol). Made it to Beale and was on my Diva scroll. Every where I went I didn’t pay a dime, cause there was always someone offering me and my girl something. Made my way inside club 152 on Beale and was ready for the count down. Me and my girl was the life of the party on the 3rd floor. The DJ was giving us shout outs, and we where lifted. 5, 4, 3,2…1111111 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Priceless!!!!!!!!

THE MOST PRICESLESS GIFT THAT I CAN REMEBER IS THIS YEAR TO BE HONEST MY BEST FRIEND WENT OUT AND BOUGHT ME THE Wii GAME AND WENT INTO ANOTHER STORE LEAVING THE WINDOW 1/2 CRACKED AND THE GAME ON TEH FLOOR OF THE FRONT SEAT AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK TO THE CAR NOT EVEN 5 MIN LATER AND THE GIFT WAS GONE. I WAS AT WORK WHEN SHE CALLED ME AND TOLD WHAT SHE HAD BOUGHT ME FOR CHRISTMAS AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO MY GIFT. I DIDNT BELEVE HER BECAUSE SHE HAS NEVER SPENT 200.00 BUX ON ME AT ONE TIME SO SHE SHOWED ME THE RECIEPT AND SHE STLL HAS IT TO THIS DAY.SHE WAS SO UPSET AND CRYING AND TO HER IT WASNT ABOUT THE MONEY IT WAS ABOUT HER SEEING ME HER BEST FRIEND HAPPY ON CHRISTMAS. SHE TOLD ME SHE KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE HAPPY B/C THAT’S ALL THAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AS FAR AS A GIFT. SHE JUST SO SAD AND UPSET BECAUSE SHE DIDNT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ME ANOTHER GIFT/ Wii. I TOLD HER THAT IT WAS OKAY BUT SHE INSISTED THAT IT WASNT OKAY. SHE SAYS THAT EVERYTIME SHE PASSES BY THE PLACE WHRER MY GIFT WAS SLOEN FROM SHE TEAR UP.

The most priceless moment for me was Christmas 2007 when my grandmother was able to walk perfectly and breathe easy after surgeries and therapy from lung cancer. I go to Tennessee State University and my grandmother is an alumni that graduated in 1953 and she would NEVER EVER miss a homecoming and when she couldn’t come that year because of the cancer just months before she was fine, it broke my heart. But seeing her happy and normal again that Christmas was such a blessing and a priceless moment. Although that memory lives on, she recently passed away on the 25th of October and I don’t know how this Christmas would be without her.

my most priceless moment christmas of o8 when my lil man took his first steps i could not had asked for anything better

It was the Christmas of 04 and it was my daughter’s first Christmas. I had just found out I had congestive heart failure a few days before Christmas and my doctor wanted me to go into the hospital right then and there. I flat out refused because there was no way in hell I was going to miss my baby girls first Christmas. I spent the entire day on the couch watching her play with the paper and not the toys and my family was there. I was weak as a kitten but I was happy I got to share that with my little one and my fam. The next morning I got up and went into the hospital for the next couple weeks. Doing alot better now and she is just wonderful.

One christmas, I was so excited to get my gift from my dad because he always gave me some big expensive gift or money. Well when dad came over he had a gift wrapped up, very nicely. I was excited, when I opened it though, it wasnt what I expected. It was a bible, I kinda laughed it off. But when I look back on it that was the best present, that my dad ever gave me, I was so caught up in all these big expensive gifts, that I had forgot the true meaning of christmas. And not to mention the true meaning of love, happiness and self worth. All those things that you can truely find in the bible. My dad gave me the gift of knowledge. Now thats whats up……..

Well honestly the most memorable and priceless holiday experience was last year 2008 during the holidays i was working on songs with my nephew trying to get on in this music business so thanksgiving til new years we were on it however i’ve now completed school for audio engineering and we’re back at it again so working even in times when others are celebrating it’s priceless to be able to do what it is i love to do and that’s music

THE MOST PRICELESS HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE FOR ME WAS BEING ABLE TO HELP SOMEONE LESS FORTUNATE THAN I AM..I WAS ABLE TO FEED AND CLOTHE SOMEONE THAT IF THEY COULD JUST GET A HOT BATH AND A NICE MEAL THAT CHRISTMAS IT WAS PRICELESS.I THINK WE AS PEOPLE LOOSE SIGHT OF WHAT CHRISTMAS REALLY MEAN AND IT’S NICE TO GET WHAT YOU WANT AT TIMES,BUT HELP SOMEONE OUT HERE THAT REALLY REALLY CAN NOT NOT HELP THEMSELVES BE THAT ONE VOICE…

My Priceless memory was when I was a little girl and my mom, dad and little sister would dance and sing around the house while we decorated the tree and put up lights outside. It was just a special time to me and my family time because we are all so busy all year and we never able spent a lot of time cause we are always on the go but during this time it was like we never were apart. Then on Christmas Eve we would pack up and take road trips still sing in the truck at the top of our lungs on the way to see our family, share gifts and eat SO much good food. Oh and any dessert you can think of was available, German chocolate, red velvet, pound cake and the list goes on. I was in heaven! Then finally we would come home, open presents then go to church the next morning to celebrate the birth of Jesus which is the reason for the season! It even became a tradition for me to sing Oh Holy night as a solo almost every year, and even though I’m away at college I always look forward to going home, being around friends and family who truly care, eating all the good food, and singing at church. To me all these things are PRICELESS!

hello out there my name is sunshine my most historical moment that i want to remember and share with the world is when hrs give me custody of my grandson who has been in and out of foster care who has a life of the unknown my grandson is a young man that has been abused and dcf has failed to protect him he is a 1yrs and 3mnths old he has had wonderful foster moms expecially the one whom he has now that allows me too see him he is a bright little boy and smart he knows sign language i was shocked when i saw him using sign language my wish is too have him come home where he belongs with his grandma mother jenkins and my 18yrs old son calls me whom has sickle cell disease.I cry for my grandson because he not knows whats going on wit him thanks for taking the time to hear me and god bless

merry christmas

Last year, instead of giving gifts to each other, we went to Urban Ministries and help serve the homeless. The gifts that we brought was delivered to the homeless families. This event showed my nephews that it is better to give to the poor and watch their faces light up with joy and tears. After we passed out the gifts, we set around the piano and sung songs with them. People today, rush out and max their credit cards on presents for their families, but don’t you realize that there are 364 days that you can give gifts to your family. Take one day, which makes up 365 days, and give to the poor and homeless. Don’t they deserve it. By February 2010, our family will have a building finished to home the homeless that can’t stay at Urban Ministries. We give God all the praises, it was him that put this vision to work.

peace to all,

I don’t celebrate most holidays. but, like most of us, i enjoy being around family and friends. i think particularly because families and friends are suppose be be around each other more than just a few times in the year, and a couples of sporatic sundays. as an african american female, knowing the roots of my people, and how family was the most important thing during a time when it seemed that a world was against us. barley having a “pot to piss in, and a window to thow it out” (as my granny would’ve put it”, the one thing that we had, and looked forward most to ; was family. i don’t have but a few people that i will say are my real friends, but, along with my family when we are all together, the memories are PRICELESS..

I would have to say spending the last christmas holiday with my grandfather before he passed. Christmas was the favorite time of the year for our family. Everyone is together celebrating life.

My “priceless” holiday….. when I spent it with my grandfather in 2006 before he died. He was Muslim and just converted over to Christianity.

All things are priceless. There is not a specific most priceless holiday that goes by. All my holidays are priceless, because I have my family, friends, and give to those who needed the most. Love, life, inspiration, and giving is priceless. Not taking this life for granted is priceless. Just seeing another day and GOD helping me to help others is priceless.

My most priceless holiday was 2yrs ago when I didn’t have anything to give to my kids for christmas I went to our local valueland thrift store to purchase a few holiday lights to make it feel like christmas. I was talking to one of the ladies about how hard it’s been for me and how I wouldn’t be able to buy my kids anything for christmas the lady went to the back room and stopped me as I was leaving and said your kids will get a christmas we still have things in boxes just get all you can carry and get some more holiday things to hang in your house. I went on a shopping spree even if it was valueland thrift store I was grateful that people do care. I send them a card every year to thank them. This was a priceless memory I will never forget.

The most priceless holiday i had ever experienced and wont forget was when my brother came home after being incarcerated for 11 years and was released on exactly thanksgiving (November 26, 2003) remember it like it was yesterday. He served this time due to drug connections and able to overcome a daunting ten year incarceration he made it out..I spent those ten years writing to him every single day of the week..our relationship was a very deep one which is why i admire weezys n babys one so much..nothing cud tear them apart, no rumor bloggers etc…they stick together and having my brother home man and seeing all the scars to which he suffered in there was breath taking..That year was absolutely priceless…

man my priceless holiday memory is one year we was dirt poor anit have no money 4 a tree or anything man any other christmas we was good but this one no sir but me my sis and my aunt went on a mission and got a tree so we had a van waited and that night and went and got us a tree it was so funny my sis put the tree in my aunt drove and i was laughin the whole time man that i will always remember priceless

My most priceless Christmas happened last year. I had just had my second son and we were living in a shelter the people who ran the shelter opened a room to me and my boys and let us pick as many toys as we wanted and wrapped them up and put them in under a christmas tree so when my 4 year woke up he was so happy and excited and the look on his face was absolutely priceless because he deserved everything he got and more and it was priceless to me because i couldnt afford to give him that and god looked out for us that christmas….

My most priceless holiday memory has to be the chritmas season of 2005. I was extreamly pregnant. I was due on on dec 31 but I started having contractions on dec 24th meanwhile the family was doing the holiday thing singing carols and catching up with each other.I could only just sit there in pain!!He wasnt born till dec 26th but i still belive to this day he was my most precious gift I have ever recived in my life!!I will always remember that christmas season for ever!!!!

My priceless moment wil have to be just about 2 years prior….it was december 19 2007 and i lost my brother.. just a week before christmas…i had gotten my brother everything he wanted….timberlands, clothes, money, and and some earrings…..when i got the news the next day, it really crushed me because that was the first christmas i was able to do and get everything he wanted me to get for him….i love and miss my baby brother so much it kills me…this may not be a story u want but its priceless to me because for one i cant get him back and two the things i got for him i gave to someone else who had nothing and made them feel loved and wanted…rip to my baby brother(4/12/90-12/19/07)…i gave someone a christmas that they can never forget and may never had or have again.

The priceless holiday was a week before Christmas of 2007…My daughter was diagnosed with cancer (Wilms Tumor) when she was 6 weeks in 2006…And was on chemotherapy and in and out of Arnold Palmer Hospital every week and it got to me bad…I lost my job that i had of 2 yrs and had a man that abused me…But i had to keep sain becuase of her she is my world my everything…But on around Christmas we got a call and told she was cancer free and is in remission now…She is going to be 3 on Dec 19th and she is still cancer free till this day and all i can do is thank God..That is the most priceless thing that can ever have…

MY MOST PRICELESS HOLIDAY IS EVERY CHRISTMAS SINCE 2005 ..MY FAMILY AND I GET TOGETHER AND COOK ON CHRISTMAS DAY FOR THE HOMELESS..WE GO TO A LOCAL CHURCH AND GIVE THESE FAMILYS A GREAT MEAL AND A GREAT CHRISTMAS…ITS NOT ABOUT THE BLING …MONEY…GIFTS…TO ME AND MY FAMILY ITS ABOUT LOVE ..HAPPYNESS ..AND BEING GREATFUL..FOR WHAT YOU CAN HAVE IN LIFE..AND THAT IS PRICELESS…IF I CAN DO IT EVERYDAY I WOULD..JUST TO SEE THE SMILES ON THIER FACES..BECAUSE HAPPYNESS AND LOVE IS MORE PRICELESS THEN MATERIALISTIC THINGS…

I remember when I was about 9 years old living in Newyork my mother decide that this was the year she was gonna do something with her self and get off welfare and better her five children,which she did. She probly didnt relize this but we new our year was gonna be worst then most because she had to find a job and finish school to get her GED. So when chirstmas came around my 2 brothers and I new we was gonna get either nothing or less then what we got the last year, my sister and one of my other brothers was to old to get anything so they didnt care. In our house then we couldnt afford to get things through out the year so chirstmas was the time to get what we needed not what we wanted. I dont think we even got up for presents we was so pround of our mom we got up give her the cards we made the night before and was ready to eat my mom can throw down and work with what she had!!!!! so around 3 maybe that day my brother and sister came in with mad presents like more then we ever got, see my mom was working and so was my sister and brother we didnt no that we was all crying and laughing that was the best ever I dont think I would ever forget that, thats a story to tell my two boys lol!!!

My priceless moment would be back when i was about 10 or 11 years old, i was living with my mom, she worked on wall street and still couldn’t afford to get us a christmas tree,so we thought about what we could do and all we had were some nails, and a couple of strings of christmas lights, so we drew a tree on the wall, put the nails in place and hung the lights in a tree pattern. It was my priceless christmas because she’s been gone for about 10 years and i’ll never forget how hard she worked,and the sacrifices made to make me happy. you can’t put a price on that!

My favorite holiday memory is when I was about 7 years old and I remember my step dad waking my brother and I up really early to midnight train to Georgia by Gladys Knight, and I remember thinking where’s the Christmas music. Mom was in the kitchen making breakfast and I was thinking that they were gonna have us wait to open our gifts but to my surprise they had all our gifts in our own little piles and I can remember tearing into my gifts and cheesing from ear to ear because I had gotten the easy bake oven I wanted as well as a load of barbies and the accessories. I remember getting impatient with the speed at which my older brother was opening his gifts as if he was Mr.Cool and telling him to hurry up so I can see what he got. That morning was great, we took pictures, we ate and it was a really happy time in my life. Twenty one years later Christmas just isn’t the same, it’s just my brother and I and my Christmas is usually spent in my home or at a friends home. I wish I was able to go back to when times were simpler and I had my mom with us, I know I would enjoy Christmas so much more if she were here. I hope to one day have a family of my own and for Christmas to give me that feeling I once had when I was a kid.

Im sure a five star G like Baby could appreciate this story, but after being locked up for two years, I missed 2 thanksgivings, 2 christmas’s and 2 birthdays which are the most significant holidays in my opinion. So you can imagine the joy that I had when i was released in October 2007! It was the first time I had got to eat my Grandma’s cooking in two years! Im from the south and anybody who is from the south knows how important the “Grandmother” is as the Matriarch of the family. More importantly her cooking is the BEST I EVER HAD ya digg! I was just so excited to see all my family and I am the oldest boy in the family so all my lil cousins look up to me and I just missed them so much. My sisters, my mother and my grandfather and grandmother were the happiest that I had ever seen them! My grandmother had prepared all my favorites, dressing, mashed potatoes, greens, chitlins, sweet potatoe pie, and the list goes on…I didnt even chill with no females or nothing that night, I just sat round with my family told stories and showed them how much I appreciated them. The last words I remember my grandmother saying that night was boy stay your butt out of that place(meaning jail)!!!!! Thank God I have not been back since! I just want to make sure that my people stay out of trouble and dont make the same mistakes that I did because when you are incarcerated you are not only hurting yourself, but you are hurting the ones that love you because they cant see you and be around you. My lesson is tell the ones that you care about how much you love them because you never know if you are gonna get a chance to spend next Christmas with them or not! God Bless!

My most memorable Christmas happen when I just came here from the Country of Haiti! My dad was basically broke because he spend all his money in paying the lawyers, buying airplane tickets and renting a new place for me and my siblings. Even thought in Haiti my mom always make sure we had gifts, that Christmas we knew it was going to be different. It was snowing outside and it was midnight. So, we decided to tell each other Christmas stories. The four of us sit on our beds to tell each other Christmas stories and the most memorable thing that happen to us in Haiti. I was 8, and my little sister Marevena was 6, my older sister Benita was 14 and my older brother Harry was 16. We did not sleep that night. We were so thankful to be in the U.S, at the same time a little scared of the new beginning. But we had fun laughing at each stories and gift dd not matter. That’s my most priceless Christmas moment, and it’s true.

My most priceless moment happened in 2003 when my son was born…he was only 1 month old when a ice storm shut all the power out in my city. It was around 5 degrees which was the coldest it ever gotten here and I felt as if it was a metaphor for my life that even in the coldest conditions I knew I could make it out of the storm alive and stronger than ever.

my most memorable xmas moment was when i was 17 yrs old and i had my first job at burger king and i got my first check and my mom had just seperated from her boyfriend of 17yrs because of cheating. we was 5,000 back n rent ,my moms hours got cut nad we was on the virge of eviction and my mom was depressed about not being able to get my sisters and brother x-mas gifts so i sacraficed my very first check and ten some to make sure my siblings had a x=mas. cause i love them so much and i dint want them to not have a x=mas. i rather give then recive and i fel sincce ive done that my blessings have come back 10 fold. im n school studying to become a pharmacy technician so i couldnt be more blessed. good things come to those who wait.

EVERY X MAS EVE EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE SLEEPS DOWN STAIRS,ITS KIND OF A TRADITION…BUT LAST YEAR MOM decided THAT EVERYONE SHOULD SLEEP IN THERE OWN ROOM SINCE WE HAD FAMILY IN TOWN AND ALL OF US DID NOT FIT DOWN STAIRS.tHAT NIGHT AROUND 2AM ALL I HEARD WAS BULLET SHOTS (and not just one or two) WHERE I LIVE IM VERY USE TO THAT…i WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING TO BULLET HOLES THROUGH ALMOST EVERY WALL IN MY HOUSE,THE X MAS TREE ON THE GROUND,GIFT DESTROYED…(no we didnt have anything to do with the shooting.stuff just happens).bUT NOT ONE PERSON IN THE HOUSE WAS HURT.not a scatch a cut nothin….so i think That such a blessing by its self so that would be my “Priceless” x mas

My most priceless holiday memory was 5 years ago on Christmas day. I spent the holidays at my grandmothers house in New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina. All of my family was there including aunts, uncles, cousins, my brothers, mom, dad and grandparents. It was the first time in a long time that we all got toghether and had fun without any arguring or miscommunications. I had a chance to spend one last Christmas with my family before one of my cousins got killed and before my grandmother lost her house in the hurricane. The fact that I was born and raised in New Orleans made it difficult for me to deal with. I will cherish the memories and moments of that day for the rest of my life. The reason why I chose this specific holiday memory is because to me family is important. The fact that I had the opportunity to bind with my family was the best thing in the world. That is why those moments is considered pricleess!!!

My most priceless memory of Christmas is when I was about six year old. It was me and my two other siblings. My mother was a single parent with no help from my father at all. We did not have much at all but was very lucky to have a house to live in. We never go a chance to really get present being that we never got present we was okay with whatever happen on Christmas morning. One Christmas my mother woke us up and had hot chocolate waiting for us. We was so happy to be able to have hot chocolate we really did not care what was under the tree or if we even had a tree. We was just happy that we had each other and I mother. Every Christmas we was looking forward to having that hot cup of chocolate and discussing among each other about what we was going to get when we got a job, or when my mother got some extra money. We even talked about how we was going to give our mother money so she do not have to worry about anything. The reason why I remember this is because now me being a single mother with three kids and in college without a job. I have to think of something special to do for my three kids. I know that me being in college in the first step in becoming a better parent for my kids. Between school work and helping my kids with there homework and preparing for my clinical for school. I do not even have time to search for a job or even get a job. I want to do something so special to let them know that it’s okay not to have because it about use being together and sharing that family love, even if its just us sitting down having a nice cup of hot chocolate together. Love and family is a Christmas Priceless Holiday for me. My kids might not get anything for Christmas but they are going to remember the love that me as a single parent had for them and the little things that I done to make the holidays special for them! I have to give Thanks to my mother for helping me see that its more to Christmas then whats under the tree!! I have to hold my head up high because I’m getting to where I need to be for me and them ,so weather I win or not its okay with me. Since I have my kids and they have me our Christmas is already complete. I just enjoyed sharing a favorite Christmas memory. Oh I’m so proud of myself coming from a single parent home I’m the first one in my family that is graduating from college with a A.S.Degree. in Medical and being on the deans list. Got to get that education to make our life complete! Next year I’m going to be walking down the stage and looking at my kids to let them see how much mommy love them… Thank so much for allowing me to share my favorite Christmas memory and also giving me the chance to see other people Christmas memories that they have shared.

My most memorable christmas was when I was about six years old. My twin sister and I just couldn’t wait for christmas to open our presents. I was 2 days before and my aunt came by to drop over our gifts. We begged our mom to open up just one present and she was persistant on NO! So my twin sister couldn’t stomach the fact she couldn’t open a present so snatches a gift from under the tree and runs up the stairs and hides in the room and my Aunt is yelling saying ” little legs got the gift” and then she proceeded to saying the cops are gonna come to and arrest everyone who has the gifts. So I put my hands in the air and said I dont have the gifts.It was soo funny from what I remember and I will never forget!

All the money he got and its just $1,000 sh*t add another zero to it and i’ll enter the contest…$1,000 these days has the value of $100…come on with it na BIG MONEY!!!!! i know he can do better than this lil change! SMH!

My most priceless holiday moment was in 07 my grandfather has just passed away from a hospital accident and my at the time 5 and 6 year old cousins came up with the idea to let ballons go in the air to send to my grandpa in heaven since christmas was his birthday i let mines go watched it drift away and ran in the house crying i was sad but then i became happy because i have a strong family and to think that idea came out of the mouth of babes i was given a new look in life when i thought it was over

My most priceless holiday was in Dec. 2004. The two years before that were really bad for me. I lost my little sister on Nov. 19, 2003. Her boyfriend shot and killed her after an arguement. I’ll never forget how I felt about that because I was only 25 years old and she was 23. The following year in September I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was scared not only for me but for my 3 children. My son had already lost one parent due to a car accident before he was one and I was afraid that if I lost my battle with cancer he would have lost 2. I did my treatments of chemo and radiation, had a double mastectomy, and began my reconstructive surgery in 2004. I remember that holiday so much because it was a new beginning for me. My life being cancer free and I have been that way ever since.

MY PRICELESS HOLIDAY MOMENT IS EVER YEAR I THINK, NOTHING’S MORE PRICELESS THAN FAMILY BEING TOGETHER LAUGHING , PLAYING GAMES , ENJOYING THE GREAT FOOD WE COOK EVER YEAR. AND CATCHING UP ON OLD TIMES. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO AND IT’S HARD I DONT WANT NOBODY TO FEEL SORRY FOR ME. BUT EVEN ME NOT HAVEING MUCH I STILL GIVE. MY SISTER BOUGHT MY TWO BOYS SOME TOYS AT A WALMART AND AS WE WERE LEAVING OUT IT WAS A TOY’S FOR TOT’T BOX THAT WAS FOR THE KIDS WHO’S PARENT’S COULDN’T AFFORD MUCH WE PUT THE TOYS IN THE BOX AND DIDN’T THINK TWICE ABOUT IT AT ALL. AND ALSO KNOWING THAT GOD WOKE ME UP TO SPEND ANOTHER DAY WITH MY FAMILY. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS TO TELL MY FAMILY I LOVE THEM AND I WOULD NOT CHANGE THE WAY I AM NOW BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE NOWHERE TO GO NO FAMILY NOT EVEN A HOT MEAL. I WANTED TO SAY ALSO I AM VERY GREATFULL AND THANKFULL FOR THIS OPPORUNITY. I JUST HOPE THAT BIRDMAN WILL PICK THAT RIGHT PERSON TO GIVE THE MONEY TO CAUSE IT’S NOT JUST AN RANDOM THING THAT’S A BLESSING.(THANKS FOR READING)

my pricless holiday is evryday and its the life that god has made and given to me and my family. and there nothing more pricless then waking up knowing that there is a god and he loves u enough to give u the breath in his body so that we may live to see another day i’m thankful for him and my family

OK my most priceless Christmas was in 1996. On Dec 10, 1996 I lost my father. It was so hard to believe the man I held as superman was gone. My father was a pastor, a husband and a father. He worked hard and he was gone. My fathers family is all in New York, we were living in Florida at the time of my father’s death so we did the funeral up there. My mom decided to stay for the holidays with his family. We are tradiational Puerto Rican family so on Christmas Eve we all went to one of his cousin-brother house. My dad used to sing he evened recorded a lot of christians songs. He was the first one in holidays to bring out the guitar and start singing some christmas songs, that year everyone became silent as one of my cousins brought out a guitar, my mom started to cry, but I decided to sing that christmas song even though deep in my throat I wanted to cry so so bad, but I knew that I was doing what he would have done if he was still here. I will never forget that Christmas its funny cause before I got online and read about the give away I was recalling that christmas to my mother, she said that she don’t remember but I think that its too painful for her to remember. Though it was some time ago, I know that I will never ever forget and one day I will tell this story to my daughter when she is older. Thanks, I hope I am chosen. God Bless and Merry Christmass to all.

MY PRICELESS CHRISTMAS OR NEW YEAR WOULD BE TO THROW THE BIGGEST PARTY TO CELEBRATE WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS GET WASTED LIKE ROCKSTARS

my most priceless holiday would be if i got that 1000 band,

Everybody wants the 100 grand bounty?? Ok,Next week wen its birdman hating time,U see the same faces lol,Aint suprising what 100 grand can do:/ Oh weel,I can use a 100 grand too but I’ma leave this for the haters.

Living another day is priceless to me but I have to admit

There is nothing more beautiful than giving from one’s heart and soul

spending time with family and friends during the holidays enjoying

The music, decorations, smell of fresh christmas trees, foods being prepared(greens, ham, turkey, yams)

but there is nothing more priceless than remembering what christmas is truly about Jesus Birth and the celebration of a selfish less man.

So helping others out there who can use your donations, assistance, shelter, warm meals, comfort, smile, kind words, or
a nice gesture

If I could ask for anything in the world it is that we treat each other with kindness, respect, dignity, forgiveness, and love each other throughout each and every year now that to me is priceless :)

Peace and Everyone goodluck

My most priceless holiday memory was in 2002. It was the last Christmas that I celebrated with my father before he succombed to liver damage caused by the spread of his cancer. He was always upbeat, playful, and joyful. He made the best out of that Christmas holiday. We didn’t think that he was going to leave us a few months later but I believe he had a feeling that his time was short. The chemotherapy got the best of him in April of 2003 and looking back, I’m glad that I got to experience my last Christmas with my wonderful father.

Well, the most priceless holiday for me is giving foster care kids a chance at a loving family and support. I’ll be donating my time to giving away toys for children.

My most priceless holiday to me is just being with your family and growing as a family but one of most memorable Christmas was in 2004 when it snowed and we don’t get much of that in Houma, Louisiana and that was the last Christmas that I spent with my cousin before he was shot and killed the following year.I think that people can sometimes forget what christmas is really all about. The reason for the season is jesus but hey everyone has their own different beliefs of the reason for the season. Family is the most important thing you just never know what can happen next. You have to cherish every moment that you spend with your families . Sometimes I feel like the holidays just aren’t the same without your grandparents ,but that’s why you have to keep the tradition moving and keep your family together but im just always thankful to be able to spend time with my family for the holidays.

Most priceless moment finger banging my ex-girl friends mom! She was f**king hot “MILF” like a mofo! Yeah so she was cooking up some din din for the fam my girl was at work and her step dad was a truck driver so dude was on the road! I was posted In the Kitchen chopping it up with moms and she was in these skin tight spandex pants booty looking righteous! We had sexual chemistry or attraction what ever you wanna call it cuz we constantly be eye f**king the s**t out of each other! She wanted me to try her for that p***y and I could feel it! So while she was turned around a nigga just slipped up behind her! I played it off like I was bout to get some out the cabinet but soon as I got up on her she push her ass into my dick! I knew it was on like donkey kong! We was both nervous as f**k my heart racing her heart racing! I started sucking on that neck I grabbed her left titty then she put her tongue in my mouth and at this point all I can think about sucking on that fat p***y! So I pulled her pants down and OMMFG! ass was just the nicest p***y was looking so delicious I just couldn’t help myself! So i drop to my knees kiss her ass lol! cuz it’s so lovely then proceed to her inner thigh and finally work my way up to the p***y and I swear she came off that first lick! P***y was super wet I was eating that p***y str8 savage she grinding it into my face man and I f**king love it! So after she bust like twice she turned around Pants still down p***y throbbing!

Then we started kissing again we practically making love to each others faces! At this point I’m all I can think about is sliding my dick up inside that wet p***y finally we stop kissing and we just hugged up im fingering her p***y and she’s loving it!

Yeah i’m a dog but the momma was 10x hotter than the daughter so it wasn’t all my fault!! That first kiss when I walked up on her from behind! PRICELESS! That adrenaline rush was like str8 bliss!

The most priceless Christmas to me was the Christmas of 94. It was several special things about this Christmas. First off it was my baby sisters first Christmas she was only 2 and a half months old. Secondly this was one of the last Christmases where the whole family gathered even from out of state. Also liek it was every year it was my great great grandmothers birthday. Last but not least, one of the most priceless things about this Christmas, was that I was able to witness 5 generations of my family in one room. My great grat grandmother, my great grandmother n great grandfather, my grandmother, my mom and her siblings, and me my little sister and my cousins. No matter what this is a day I will always remember. I remember the feeling of love from everybody that day. I remember the stories and jokes being told from the kitchen. I remember the sweet smell of pies and cakes and dinner mixed with the aroma of my great grandfathers pipe. I remember holding my little sister as we opened her first Christmas present. I could go on and on about the things I remember that Christmas, but mostly I just remember that it was nothing else like it, and that’s priceless to me.

LOL JAYEKUSH…MUCH LOVE BRO YOU SHOULD WIN THE 1000 BAND…YOUR HOLIDAY WAS PRICELESS…IMAGINE IF IT WAS MOMMA AND DAUGHTER TOGETHER…HOPE YOU WIN FAM…LOL

You now what, I would have to say that it was December 24, 2007, and my grandmother was on her death bed at her home in Alabama, and I didnt want to see her that way any longer and also I was in anticipation for my acceptance letter to Ohio State and even though she suffered from Alzheimer’s, she understood that I wanted to get into this college. So she sent for me to come down and I did and she asked was I accepted and I told her, I doubt if I am. She kissed my hand and went to sleep. I went on the computer to check my application process and I was accepted! I screamed and ran to tell my granny, she was awake and she knew exactly why I was yelling. I hugged her, then exactly 1 hour later, she passed….this moment was priceless because my grandmother witnessed her only grandchild going to college. I MISS YOU SO MUCH GRANNY because of you, I am in my junior year still going strong!

I am the youngest of 10 kids and my moms a single parent, our dad was nothing to us, having to raise all of us on her own while holding a job and trying to go to school was hard work. but our most priceless moment was christmas of 97′, my mom had to break it to us that we wouldn’t be having much of a christmas due to expenses. we were so disappointed. but for the most part we understood. my grandma heard about the struggles we were having and sent down some money so that my mom could surprise us. and just when something good happened someone stole the money…all of it!! so christmas morning came along there was no presents but it turns out that the best present i could ever ask for was right there the whole time, MY FAMILY! and even though it didn’t come with a big bow we still recognized it as a gift, and no matter what that gift will remain pricless.

My most priceless holiday moment was standing on the corner not knowing it was Thanksgiving by my Damn Self “for real”.

My Most Priceless Holiday Moment?…

i am the only boy of 14 kids and im the second oldest..me and my sisters were in foster care for 13 years…when i was 6 yrs old..i was in this foster home with about 9 kids…two of them were my sisters (Kenyatta[9] and Kashelia[4]) and there were 3 others(Punkin[7], Mya[5], and Trey[11]) who were related and another set of three (Nu-Nu[12], Greg[6] And CiCi[4] who were related…i had been to many foster homes b4 and had grown on some of my foster parents…but my sisters and the other sets of kids had only been to his one foster home that were were in now In Mobile, AL.

The foster parents there were very evil by many standards…they always hit on us every chance they had with anything that had…from iron to extension cords…to pipes and poles…they really didnt care aythgin for us..

So..on christmas eve they told us that we shouldnt b expectin anything for christmas because we had all been really bad throughout the year…
Although i was 6 i had long since given up the idea of santa being real so that didnt phase me…i knew i had at least one prior foster parent who would send me somethin…but everybody else in the house was mad and sad and crying and throwin tantrums.

Christmas day came..and this woman (foster mother) woke everybody in the house up with and ass-whoopin, talkin about..”this here is ya present for being so damn bad all year…”

So we all woke up for Christmas with sorely injured bodies…after that…the whole day went by and i was expecting somethin to come for me from someone but it never did…and i was really disappointed…

The next say..i woke up and my foster mother called mt to the livin rom and was like..”somebody sent yo devilish ass somethin..u dont deserve s**t..bad ass kid..”

i look in the dining room and theres like 10 differetn boxes and a bike…
So i run in and call my sisters and show them my presents ans they’re all like “wow!”…and smiling and then my younger sister…with her four year old self…ran into the back room where everybody was sleep and was braggin to everyone that her brother had gotten presents from santa..

So now everyone is rushhing into the dining room to look at my presents and u can see the look of resentment and jealousy on some faces…but im all smiles and then greg goes over to my bike and sits on it..and asks me..”can i have this”…now im lookin at the 6 yrs old nigga like..”if u dont get the f**k off my bike…” but i realize i was the only one who had presents…so i told him he chouldnt have my bike cuz thas really all i had wanted for christmas…but he could chose on of my presents to have…so he chose and then i told everyone else to pick up on present to have bcuz we all should have at least one present….and that made everyone smile and happy and we basically played the week out…incidentally..my bike was stolen on new yrs day by a crackhead…lol..but yea…thas my most pricelesss holiday moment

my most priceless holiday was back in dec 2000. Middle of that year I became legal guardian of three of my little cousins who mother was not able to take care of them at the time. This christmas was to first time I went shopping through the eyes of little babies. This was particular christmas was the when the oldest girl Brianna now age 11 called me, “mommy”. Hearing this for the first time was overwhelming and can never be replace or duplicated. I was able do for others and put my needs aside. They are still with me today at ages 11 and 10. God has been good even with this recession and not able to do like I want but at the end of the day all I can do is say thank you.

My most priceless memory was just last year…You could kinda say it was a doubly pleasing holiday. It was early November, and I was crying and praying every day. I was a single parent, having to sacrifice alot for my son. I had not worked at all in 2008, it was not that I was not seeking, there were just NO jobs at that time.I had NO idea where my sons christmas was gonna come from.Don’t get me wrong, I have family and friends that I could have went to for help for that situation.But no one made me become a single parent but myself, so I HAD to be responsible for this situation MYSELF.Then a week before Thanksgiving, I had put my son on the bus, still walking around feeling like the world was caving in I went about my daily ritual of cleaning house(didn’t have a job,no excuse for house not to be clean!)and crying a little bit more throughout the day.Then the doorbell rang, it was the mailman, with ALOT of mail.She said the reason she came to the door was because there was a check for me and there had been a couple of mailbox thefts in the weeks prior so she at least wanted to make sure that it made it to the right person.IT WAS A CHECK FOR ME!!I didn’t tell anyone, just got dressed and called a ride(small sacrifice, MY CAR). I went to the bank to cash the check so that I could begin to work on my son’s Christmas list.Matter of fact, I left the house with 3 things, the check, my id, and my phone..nothing else! Well, while waiting in line in the bank to cash the check, I received a phone call. It was a local employment agency, telling me that I had got a job that I interviewed for MONTHS prior that I assumed I had not gotten! And that they needed me to start the following Monday!I accepted the job and prooceeded about my day,that check was EXACTLY enough to get ALL my sons Christmas list and give my friend gas money for taking me!I realize that the holidays are about SO MUCH MORE than the presents, but only I am allowed NOT to get something for Christmas, NOT MY SON!So,I was GREATLY BLESSED on November 13, 2008(yes, I remember the date!). So I had a BLESSED and BEAUTIFUL Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years!If I won this money, I would use for a new car (not brand new, slightly used, but new to me) as I don’t have one.And I still have this GREAT JOB that i need one for! And there are things that I am now a little financially able to do for my child, but it is a struggle day to day to ask someone to use their car!But to whomever wins.. May your path continue to be blessed with PEACE, MERCY and LOVE!

The most memorable moment for me was when i lost my job in rehabing homes 3 months b4 christmas 2007, and i didnt have much to purchase my children of 3 christmas gifts my now newly and beutiful wife purchased $400.00 dollars worth of toys and clothing for them, because she knew how much it hurted me for not being able to provide for my children, Me and my wife don’t have any children togather but for her to help me and see my pain she gave me and the children her love and heart and told me GOD aint goin to give me no more than i can handle, Me and the kids are very greatful to my wife the kids where very happy on that most beutiful day and she made sure they didnt have to see their dad at a very pivetal moment in my life,i wish i can upload thepics of that beutiful day for you can see the smiles on their faces and i was the happiest father on that day

My most precious holiday memory was is the year before my mom passed away. My husband had been out of work for a year because of his heart and my kids were young. My mother was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and was on oxygen but she managed to spend christmas with her babies. My children were 4,7, and 12 they didn’t know my mother(ma ma) was sick and might die, they just knew that daddy and ma-ma made christmas the best its ever been. That was in December 2000. It is now December 2009 and my husband has passed away and gone to be with my mother in heaven, he passed away from heart failure in August 2007. They were the people that made life special in this house, now the kids are older and understand more but we still miss both of them. GOD has kept us and GOD will keep us together. It has made us all realize that life is precious and enjoy as much as we can. Christmas is for family and our family is minus 2 very important people.

This will be the first Christmas I will not have money to buy my daughters any presents, due to being laid off recent. But nevertheless, we decided to still have our traditional Christmas dinner and instead of buying gifts for each other, we will write a paper using the title “What Matters Most” and read it to the family on Christmas day.

my priceless hoilday was last christmas when i had all my family memebers there living. Me and my sibling never really got along and after a long hard year of being broke. My father and cousin owned a moving company when my cousin became mentally ill he kept stealing the trucks in which they used to move the people. When there were no more trucks and no money to fix the only one left the company went down. That brought us between a rock and hard place because the we went broke. it hard to see tommorrow not knowing how we would pay the bills. Well on that christmas day all that went away even though we didnt have much we had a good christmas. Everyone was getting along and because now we were older and not getting a bunch of gifts from our parents we all brought each other gifts. We stayed together all day and didnt think about friends or going out and i was able to give my family gifts that were thoughtfull and not gifts that were meaningless. I have though been though so much ups and downs with my boyfriend at the time and before that christmas i wanted to spend my hoildays with him away from my family not realizing what was really important which was my family that has always been there for me. I had plans to be with him christmas and when he let me down and wasnt there christmas day i was left to spend the day with my family so now i can say im glad it happened it woke me up to see family first. Id say that was my most priceless hoilday cause truelly it was about family and love and being together.

My priceless holiday memory comes every year when my family comes together at a relatives house. We just sit around talking about old memories, laughing and catching up with whats going on in each others lives.

My priceless holiday memory is every year I watch my 3 yr old son open his gifts on Christmas. Because of him I always tell people I don’t want any gifts for Christmas because he was my gift. My Father’s Day Birthday and Christmas gift so to watch him open his gifts on Christmas is my main happiness, especially when I can get him gifts he loves! So every year my son is my greatest and most priceless holiday memory. God Bless everyone and I wish you all a safe & Merry Christmas and Happy Kwanza!

MY PRICELESS CHRISTMAS MEMORY IS ONE THAT BIRDMAN KNOWS TOO THE FIRST CHRISTMAS AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA GOING HOME FROM CHICAGO AND SEEING FIRST MY PRICELESS LOVED ONES THAT SURVIVRD KATRINA ONLY BIRDMAN KNOWS THE FEELING OF THAT JOY TO SEE ALL MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS THAT HAD BEEN SCATTTRED ALL OVER TEXAS GEORGIA AND OUT WEST NO MONEY NO NUTHIN CAN BE MORE PRICELEES THAT..

WAS’NT A LOT BUT WE THOUGHT WE WAS IN NORTHPOLE KIDS OUTSIDE EVERWHERE MAKIN SNOWBALLS COME’ON YALL ANYTHING MORE PRICLESS THAN THAT? LOVE AND PEACE CASH MONEY FAMILY YA’LL BOY CURTIS PIERRE NUAWLINSKID@YAHOO.COM

My most priceless Christmas was putting up the same old Christmas tree I’v owned for 10 years. The tree would have the decorations I’d been using since the beginning of time; one screw missing for the old tree stand and red paint worn off most of the lights. It had got to the point where I would tear the price tags off gifts, because the gifts were so priceless. Everything had become priceless with time. Each year a family member will take upon themselves to have Christmas dinner at their house. When it was my turn to have Christmas dinner at my house, it always come down to me asking family members to bring a dish. It was just a priceless spirit of the season for me. If I win $1,000 of Birdman’s money, I would spend it on Christmas dinner, drinks and better gifts for my family.

The most pricesless memory I will always cherish is my daughter’s first time understanding what Christmas is all about. Like every single parent out there you try to make sure that your kid has everything that is hot, popular and the most expensive thing we see. So every year I try to make sure she has eveything that I can afford to buy, but this year my daughter has decided that all she wants this year is to spend more time with mommy. It may not sound like much but to me is the best gift from any person that I will recieve this year or any year afterwards.

The most priceless was spending my birthday and Christmas in Iraq back when I served in the Marine Corps, I received letters from home of course months later saying Merry Christmas and things like that and it just motivated me to stay positive to know that I had family supporting me and although I wasn’t able to be around family I was able to feel, and see the love through their cards. So right then and there I knew it wasnt about the presents and santa and crazy stuff like that, but the Love that one can give to another on that special day that represents Christ…I hope this Christmas people don’t get carried away with spending and just be happy to be with family/friend and to not forget Christ.

once again its the end of the year and right at the peak of christmas and once again it’s no easier getting prepared for the holidays for my children and i.thats okay though soon and vey soon it has got to be better.thank you lord anyhow..

My priceless Christmas memory is wen my whole family got together on Christmas ,people i never met and my father after 13 years came to see me i think that was a priceless memory for me

My priceless Christmas was two years ago when my great great grandmama was still living.Wow she was a gift in her on way, because she just brouhgt joy to my eyes we meaning all her grandkids and greatgrand at the time would gather at her house and just have a big celabration. Eveyone was getting along and just havin a good time, not knowing that it would be our last time with her. We shared somw good times and bad but know that Christmas is not about gifts at all it’s about being with the ones you love and getting together not worring about your problems.

MY PRICELESS CHRISTMAS:

NOW A DAYS, IT SEEMS LIKE THATS THE ONLY TIME FAMILY GETS TOGETHER… MY FAMILY PRICLESS EXPERIENCE, WAS WHEN I WAS ABOUT 12 OR 13 YEARS OLD ALL MY COUSINS AND AUNTS WAS IN ST LOUIS FROM TEXAS AND WE ACTUALLY SPENT CHRISTMAS TOGETHER BUT WHAT MADE IT SPECIAL MY MOM GAVE ME A GIFT THAT SAID FROM: DADDY, BUT I KNOW IT WAS FROM HER IT HAD HER HANDWRITING ON IT..I LOOK AT THAT TODAY AND THANK HER FOR BEING SANTA MAMA AND DADDY ON CHRISTMAS 3 IN 1.

AS IF MY POPS WANTED TO BE THERE BUT HE COULDNT..MY MOTHER GAVE ME A PRICLESS MEMORY A SINGLE MOTHER WHO TRIED TO MAKE THINGS WHOLE FOR THE HOLIDAY.

Well my most priceless moment for the holidays would have had to been last year during New Years!!! My Christmas wasn’t the best, because my brother had just passed and everybody’s spirits where low about it, and the energy for Christmas had went right out the window. So for New Years I had told myself I was going to go all out, do it big, and start the year off right. And that I did! I can remember it like it was last night. I had been shopping for the right outfit for like 3 days before, came up with this hot to def one piece bebe jumpsuit with some rockin gold stilettos. Yes, oh yes I was ready for my night. New Years eve came around and I was ready to hit the streets, didn’t know where I was going but I was going to end up some where. Every body was talking about going downtown on Beale Street here in Memphis so I took a jump for it. Me and my best friend Brittney got in my car and just went. The 1st stop was the club “level 2” and yes oh yes it was poppin. Went straight thru the VIP doors no questions and no waitin in lines. Felt like a movie star at my opening movie. LOL. Got to the VIP area and drinks where waitin like they just knew what I wanted before even asking. Spent about 2 hours in the club and was ready to make my next stop. Beale Street here we come. Got to Beale street and the blocks where packed from light to light. But it was all good me and my girl just parked our car at the gas station and started walking over to Beale. People where every where; guys where looking and asking for names. And for once females where giving compliments instead of hating (maybe a few where hating but you know how that is, lol). Made it to Beale and was on my Diva scroll. Every where I went I didn’t pay a dime, cause there was always someone offering me and my girl something. Made my way inside club 152 on Beale and was ready for the count down. Me and my girl was the life of the party on the 3rd floor. The DJ was giving us shout outs, and we where lifted. 5, 4, 3,2…1111111 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Priceless!!!

EVERYDAY!!!!

My most priceless memory was the Christmas of 2005. It was a little over a year after my brother had passed. It was also my son’s first Christmas. My immediate family got together and we celebrated what we had lost and gained. My son and my sister’s kids were so excited to open their presents and before we sat down to eat, we said a prayer for my brother and the new life that my son represented.It was priceless because even though we all were still reeling from the loss, we came together to celebrate family, new beginnings and hope.

I have a lot of priceless memories for the whole entire year that stands out but the most memorable one is this past Thanksgiving. Every year we go to my cousins house in the valley and she would let us say what we are thankful for. About a year ago my cousin and her 2 daughters got into the worst accident the first day they went back to school in September.I or i should say no one in the family never thought that the girls thought about it. But my lil cousin was in ICU for 2 weeks and she made it through.So we each had to write down 5 things we are thankful for and the third thing on my 10 year old cousins list was ,”she was thankful for making it through the accident,
‘ we cried we never thought she even remembered the accident much less thought about it. We took video’s of the whole thing. We watched it over and it was so sad too know that she thinks of how different her life would have been if it was worst. Thank.

i never had a priceless christmas. mmine was always a struggle since i was 14

I would have to say my priceless holiday would be the last Christmas I got to spend with my mother before she passed away. She was in the hospital and we took her dinner and we opened presents there too! We knew this may be the last holiday we get to spend with her and my brother and I wanted to make it special because my mother always went out her way to make our Christmas special when we were younger. She was so excited to see her grandchildren! The smile on my mothers face was priceless it self. I will never forget her smile! She was really a beautiful woman!!!

WELLL MY MOST PRICELESS HOLIDAY WAS WAS JUST A REGULAR DAY IN 2007. IT WAS MAY 4… IT WOULD BE A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET.. I SPENT ALL DAY IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM WITH MY MOTHER ON HER DEATH BED.. BUT IT WAS A JOYUS OCCASION BECAUSE I KNEW THAT SHE DIDNT HAVE TO SUFFER ANYMORE.. MY MOTHER AND I NEVER HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE SHE WAS USING DRUGS.. SO I KIND OF RESENTED HER FOR LEAVING ME AND MY 7 BROTHERS AND MY SISTER TO BASICALLY FEND FOR OURSELVES,BUT ONCE I SEEN THAT SHE WAS IN NEED AND HOW MUCH I LOVED HER WHAT SHE DID IN THE PAST DIDNT MATTER. SO I TOLD HER HOW MUCH WE ALL LOVED HER AND TRIED TO CATCH HER UP ON EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON AND THE THINGS THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY WE GOT ALMOST EVERTHING I WANTED TO KNOW IN THAT DAY THAN WE DID IN ALL THE YEARS I WAS ALIVE.AND SHE KNEW THAT I LOVED HER. THAT WAS MY SPECIAL HOLIDAY.THE NEXT DAY SHE PASSED AWAY.. R.I.P JACKIE

a priceless holiday memory for me was getting together with my friend ms. Philipa Wong around Christmas time who cooks then brings food to the women and men shelters in our neighborhood i really enjoyed going out with her and seeing the smiles on people faces when they come out to pick up there bags of food talk about priceless.

Well my most priceless moment for the holidays would have had to been last year during New Years!!! My Christmas wasn’t the best, because my brother had just passed and everybody’s spirits where low about it, and the energy for Christmas had went right out the window.

listen ppl blackplanet got a thing going called one minute to shine its on my page and if you could vote for me it would mean alot ppl thanx

my priceless moment is when i grew up i wasn’t the kid who had the most but i did have love all around me .but this is the real reason why my story is priceless i met my very 1 best friend that i could ever have in person in my life. i can’t explain how many times that she help me with how to stand stronge in life.but why is so priceless is because i didn’t know what that meant.and why i say that is because i took something that it didn’t belong to me and that being said our friendship didn’t cost us anything. that’s priceless.

Looking back at it now my most priceless Christmas was when my grandmother was raising 11 of us in a 3 bedroom project. My aunt would come and get her 5 and the rest of us din’t get a gift because she couldn’t afford to buy us anything. We were told we better not cry because we weren’t going to go hungry and we had love. It’s priceless because even though we didn’t get the gifts we ate lovely and all the people in the project wanted to eat some of our food regardless of what they had at home and all of the gifts they had. Now that I’m grown I look back on the gifts I made sure my children got because of what I didn’t get as a child and now the kids are grown I make sure my graddaughter gets but, I laugh because no matter what I’ve bought them as gifts never make up for the picture of them eating all that food I cook. The real priceless part is no matter what you might get material wise never makes up for the love of family and the love we can nourish ourselves with food. I will always remember my grandmother with love and food.

My most memorable and priceless holiday moment happened early Christmas morning in 2003. Around 3am I knew that it was time to make my move and time was of the essence beacuse I wouldn’t have much of it to make it to my destination.
I didn’t own a car and neither did my then boyfriend, and I didn’t have anyone else to wake at that time of morning so I called the paramedics. They arrived and took my vitals, loaded me into the ambulance and then told me they were taking me to the Grant Hospital, which was the closest. I disagreed and informed them that I wanted to go to the hospital where I’d received my prenatal care, and where my doctor was.

Well they contested and said that we would pass at least five hospitals on the way there. I stood my ground while remaining calm because at this point my contractions are growing closer and closer together.
To my amazement, these two nitwits told me that they needed to call a supervisor to receive authorization to transport me half way across town to where I wanted to be taken. So we waited outside until a supervisor showed up.

At this point I’m feeling like Mary ans there’s no room at the inn. He arrived and started talking even more stupid than the first two. He tells me, “Well ma’am this is not really considered to be an emergency, women give birth at home all of the time.” Without trying to curse him out I responded, “Well, I didn’t plan on a home delivery and I suggest that if you didn’t come here to deliver a baby, you give us the okay to leave.” ” I have insurance, if you’re worried about not being paid for the transport.” I snapped, because at this point my contractions are five minutes apart on a continuous basis.

We left and make it to the hospital before any thing major happens, like my water breaking. We get to the maternity floor and one nurse is getting my information from the paramedics, while another is checking me out. To their astonishment I was already 9cm.

Before I found out the gender of my unborn child, I had chosen the name Gabrielle which means “God’s messenger” in Hebrew, and at 5:16 am Christmas morning I delivered a 6 lb. 7 oz. baby girl. She is truly the most priceless and most memorable Christmas gift.
And since I am not currently mobile, I will be pruchasing a car after I win the prize money so that my daughter and I can avoid another winter of standing out at the bus stop.

It’s sad to say, but i never had a priceless Christmas. Even as a child my mother struggled as a single parent, trying to keep the lights on, better yet buy gifts. When i got older and had my own family, I vowed that i would, no matter what, make thangs happen for my kids. Up until September, we were doing pretty good. I got laid off as a (Independent Contractor. I am a Certified Nurses Assistant and i have’nt been able to find a job, and i don’t qualify for unemployment. I’t looks like my kids will not have a Christmas this year again, because as it is today, I am a single mother trying to stay off welfare. It’s hard when my kids look to me to provide and i can’t. I go out everyday looking for Any kind of jobs. I try not to let my fears, depression and worrying show, but faking ain’t always easy. That $1000 would be like a million dollar to us. It would definitely lighten the load, and allow my kids to have faith in me again. God Bless you Birdman and Family.

Priceless for me is wend my son was born dec 25 1995 he was to come on feb 14 but got put in the on that day I was feeling good on dec 23 my brithday with my family friend’s I start to think of mom and good time’s we had that day I would be sitting in the living room were the tree sat opening gift’s that she got from working all year long she got sick one in septmber 1995 5 she pass away that hurt me so bad that I want to die with her but give me life the same day he said that I would have on that day dec 25 1995 now I know why give and take life becuses we all belong to him so priceless for me being thankful for were god has me today that priceless for thank you mrb pryor

Christmas has always been priceless because I get to spend it with really good friends. Family is more than the group of people that share your same last name or blood line. It is those that stick by you through the thick and thin, support you in all you do, and will keep it completely honest, real, and 100 no matter what the situation is. I have a set of female friends that have been holding me down for the past 13 yrs. We have grown from girls to teenagers, and now to adults together. Every Christmas we have the tradition of opening gifts then going to the movies. It has been those times spent with them that have been priceless. We laugh, cry, agrue, fight, and resolve it all together. How many women can honestly say that they have a group of female friends like that, that have been holding them down for yrs? Not to many and because of that I feel blessed to have them in my life.

Christmas is priceless because ur always doing something u enjoy doing,seeing family,friends,and people u might not wanta see.Im a single mother of three kids i work my tail off for them i have two worthless baby daddy’s who could careless.Im not on welfare or nothing like that.I know that times are hard for everyone right now.And if you know me i will give the shirt off my back cause things like that are material they come and go everyday.Doing the Lords work is very rewarding.I work two jobs and trying to go back to school i love my children uncondtionally and they return the love they know i will make a way if it kills me ive done it for 14,13,6, years and not asking for help but when you see a person who is down it doesnt take much to pick them up god bless and take care…And that real does recognize real….

I will have to say my most priceless christmas was in dec 2005. This christmas was the last christmas I spent with my father before he passed. He was ill at the time but I was just so thankful that I could spend christmas with my whole family. We were talking about how I couldnt wait to start school and how he was so proud of me and my one wish for christmas was for him to get better. I’d say it was the best christmas i’d had in a long time it was the last christmas I was happy.

My most priceless holiday memory is the first time i saw my father cry after he went blind because that christmas broke his heart knowing that he will never see the smile on our faces again when we opened our presents. I was just turning six when my father went blind and now that im 18, he is missing alot. I mean the saddest part is him not remembering what we look like and that is not good. But my dadlives his days to the fullest but him not being able to see during christmas with tears rolling down his face is th most priceless memory to me.

the priceless time of the years for me is new years when i was on the phone with my sister and she was killed by her brother-law on new years day and i was on the phone with her when he shot her several times i just remember hearing this sound not knowing what it was and my sister never came back to the phone thats priceless to me that i will never see her again and that she didn’t deserve to dit like that i could go on with the store i hard for me to even think about because new year is not far away where i will be sad again instead of enjoying the new year.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

My most priceless holiday was in the year 2000. It was in December when we found out that my Grandmother had breast cancer. The news was devastating but we kept are spirits high and left it up to God to take control. Christmas had arrived and I spent the day in the hospital sitting next to her. I remember her telling my cousin to give her a piece of paper and a pen, she wrote her name down and under it she wrote heaven. Two days later her battle with cancer had came to a end.She fought hard to spend one last holiday with us and out of all the gifts I received that Christmas day the best one was being able to spend it with her. You cant put a price on that….

I am in tears as I write this because my heart is heavy for all of the people who have posted their touching stories on here. I don’t know if mine is as interesting since it is one that so common and is also a sign of the times. I am currently away from my husband and four daughters for the first time ever. They are in the Midwest while I am on the West Coast w/o them at a relatives house, only because I could not afford to bring them with me. I came here to find a job and had to leave my family behind. My husband is a blessing because he is doing everything that he can to keep my four baby girls happy, fed and with a roof over their heads. I have become discouraged because I cannot find a job here either and everytime I call home my youngest who is 6yr old cries and says, “I want you to come home.” I tell her how muuch I love her and to keep praying. She told me, “mommy all I want is for you to come home and a give me a hug and kiss.” I was outdone because of my baby I finally realize what Christmas truly means and in my opinion that is priceless. I swear I will never leave them again. I told her,” okay as soon as I can come home I will and also that I love her.” I cried all night though after I got off of the phone. I can not even eat because my kids are at home with so little to eat for dinner. I know that they are blessed to have even that but still I can not bear to put a fork to my mouth (and I have Diabetes) knowing that they have hardly anything to eat, no gifts and will not even be with me for Christmas. I don’t even want the whole $1000 not even $500, I only just want enough money for a plane ticket to go home to my kids. The rest can be donated to Charity. Priceless.

God please cover my family in the blood of Jesus and all other children who are going without at this time. Lord I trust that you will give us what we need as I trust in your promise. Amen!! God is good no matter what and he will provide this I know!!

Getting up in the morning at age 8 with everything you wanted for xmas all smiles, electric transformers toothbrush, mock racing car with gear shifting, clothes…All Smiles!

Finding out later in the day that everything you got for Xmas went to the trash with the wrapping paper = Priceless

That pattern the way I give gifts now. I want everyone to have the gifts they want. So when I give gifts they are always personalized to the personality of the individual receiving the gift. I don’t want anyone to experience the disappointment I felt.

First of all I would like to thank both Birdman and TheUrbanDaily for giving away such a wonderful gift and reminding us what really does count during the Holidays! My most priceless (and I mean that in the literal sense)holiday memory is this Winter actually. I recently quit my job to pursue another job only to find out that it was shady, so I then was unemployed. I currently live with my sister and Mother and things have been tighter than ever since my income isn’t helping out with various bills. Of course I then began to think negatively and even got a little depressed, not realizing the many blessings around me. My Mother (a very strong-willed Haitian) tirelessly and effortlessly told me that she would do anything she can to help me get another job and reminded me that this Christmas would be a very special one. She then asked for referrals at her job for me as I continued to apply for jobs online. When it comes to her baby, she is a BEAST! Well,after a couple of weeks, her hard work paid off; for I have interviews to go to starting tomorrow and next week! God is good all the time and so is my Mom! She helped me regain hope and faith and I couldn’t have made it through my rough patch without her strength. In two weeks my Birthday is coming up in the same week of Christmas. And indeed my Birthday and Christmas will be oh so special, memorable, and most importantly PRICELESS!

What is truly a priceless holiday experience to me is getting all of my family together since our “Big Mamma” is dead & gone we have to step-up and make it happen like if she was still here with us. Picking the house we will be having Christmas at make a list of who all we need to buy for so everybody will have something like our Big Mamma use to do for us only if it was a bath towel a pair of socks a dish towel something you had something to open & we all sit around eat talk sing and enjoy all the new babies that are in our family. Talk about a family members dish that she bring every year that no one never eat because you are afraid that you will get sick. Sit around and watch everybody open their gifts as a family shoud do during the Holidays!!! Thats whats priceless to me FAMLY!!! a family that prays together stays together…

I think a few Christmas’s ago was what I would call priceless to me. A few years back money was real tight, I was about 16 or so and my dad had got the news of no bonus that year. Which of course meant a bit of a rainy Christmas, and maybe even not being able to see him because he might not have had enough money to make it down for Christmas. When Christmas came around there wasn’t much under the tree but at that point it didn’t matter. We were sitting back enjoying family time. My sister had come home from college, my brother his wife and kids were there as well as her grandmother. My mom and dad, divorced, even shared in the good times and to see them not be at each others necks is a one in a million thing. We had laughs that year, no drama. When family can come together, and not fuss and fight over little things we can have a good time and create a moment that truly is, “Priceless”.

What I call priceless to me is last year was the first Christmas in our new house and even though we didn’t have any living room furniture we still had a good time.We went to church came back home and I cooked dinner there weren’t any presents but we had a tree and the house was still decorated and my children understood why mommy couldn’t afford any presents and I never let them believe that santa brought presents.But the best thing about it was that they really understood and it made Christmas a whole lot easier.

Before my grandparents pasted away how the family use to get together now u could not even pay them to it’s sad but life goes on love you birdman keep doing yo thing i love it’ peace & love godbless you and your crew give all the kids hugs for me and happy holidays and if i win i would even buy you something out of the money PEACE LOVE Danine Harvell!!!!!!!

Well my most priceless moment for the holidays would have had to been last year during New Years!!! My Christmas wasn’t the best, because my brother had just passed and everybody’s spirits where low about it, and the energy for Christmas had went right out the window. So for New Years I had told myself I was going to go all out, do it big, and start the year off right. And that I did! I can remember it like it was last night. I had been shopping for the right outfit for like 3 days before, came up with this hot to def one piece bebe jumpsuit with some rockin gold stilettos. Yes, oh yes I was ready for my night. New Years eve came around and I was ready to hit the streets, didn’t know where I was going but I was going to end up some where. Every body was talking about going downtown on Beale Street here in Memphis so I took a jump for it. Me and my best friend Brittney got in my car and just went. The 1st stop was the club “level 2” and yes oh yes it was poppin. Went straight thru the VIP doors no questions and no waitin in lines. Felt like a movie star at my opening movie. LOL. Got to the VIP area and drinks where waitin like they just knew what I wanted before even asking. Spent about 2 hours in the club and was ready to make my next stop. Beale Street here we come. Got to Beale street and the blocks where packed from light to light. But it was all good me and my girl just parked our car at the gas station and started walking over to Beale. People where every where; guys where looking and asking for names. And for once females where giving compliments instead of hating (maybe a few where hating but you know how that is, lol). Made it to Beale and was on my Diva scroll. Every where I went I didn’t pay a dime, cause there was always someone offering me and my girl something. Made my way inside club 152 on Beale and was ready for the count down. Me and my girl was the life of the party on the 3rd floor. The DJ was giving us shout outs, and we where lifted. 5, 4, 3,2…1111111 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Priceless!!!!!!!!

My most memorable and priceless holiday moment happened early Christmas morning in 2003. Around 3am I knew that it was time to make my move and time was of the essence beacuse I wouldn’t have much of it to make it to my destination.
I didn’t own a car and neither did my then boyfriend, and I didn’t have anyone else to wake at that time of morning so I called the paramedics. They arrived and took my vitals, loaded me into the ambulance and then told me they were taking me to the Grant Hospital, which was the closest. I disagreed and informed them that I wanted to go to the hospital where I’d received my prenatal care, and where my doctor was.
Well they contested and said that we would pass at least five hospitals on the way there. I stood my ground while remaining calm because at this point my contractions are growing closer and closer together.
To my amazement, these two nitwits told me that they needed to call a supervisor to receive authorization to transport me half way across town to where I wanted to be taken. So we waited outside until a supervisor showed up.
At this point I’m feeling like Mary ans there’s no room at the inn. He arrived and started talking even more stupid than the first two. He tells me, “Well ma’am this is not really considered to be an emergency, women give birth at home all of the time.” Without trying to curse him out I responded, “Well, I didn’t plan on a home delivery and I suggest that if you didn’t come here to deliver a baby, you give us the okay to leave.” ” I have insurance, if you’re worried about not being paid for the transport.” I snapped, because at this point my contractions are five minutes apart on a continuous basis.
We left and make it to the hospital before any thing major happens, like my water breaking. We get to the maternity floor and one nurse is getting my information from the paramedics, while another is checking me out. To their astonishment I was already 9cm.
Before I found out the gender of my unborn child, I had chosen the name Gabrielle which means “God’s messenger” in Hebrew, and at 5:16 am Christmas morning I delivered a 6 lb. 7 oz. baby girl. She is truly the most priceless and most memorable Christmas gift.
And since I am not currently mobile, I will be pruchasing a car after I win the prize money so that my daughter and I can avoid another winter of standing out at the bus stop.

On one Christmas day, my cousin and his girlfriend were involved in an atuo accident. The accident left her a double amputee and irreverable internal damage. As a result, they were advised that they would never be able to have any children. A year later, she discovered she was pregnant. They have gone on to have 3 beautiful girls and minister their own church. It was then that I truly believed in miracles and that when the doctor says “no”, that Jesus can still say “yes.” Luv ya Jerome and Keisha!

This years is my “Priceless” Xmas. About four months ago, my daughter friend found out she was five months pregnant and her parents was making her give him away in adoption. I immediately offered to help her. I was going to adopt her child but it was too costly because I was in another state and it was considered an Interstate Adoption. I was a Foster Parent for the State of Nc but now I’m living in Georgia. I knew this young sixteen year old girl for over 3 years. I’m a mother of three myself. I didn’t want this young girl to live with a decision that could affect her for life. I talked to her mom via phone and we came to an agreement that I would raise her child for about two to four years so she could finish high school and get her life together. I’m doing this from the kindness of my heart. I didn’t ask for any money from them and her mom the never bothered offering. I just recently quit my job in November due to being a Whistle Blower and being retaliated against but I believed in the safety of everyone especially elderly and children. I have a job offer at the Army Hospital but waiting on my starting date. On November 16th, I droved to NC to pick him up from the hospital. I didn’t have enough funds to cover this trip but the Lord made a way for me to save this innoncent child. I stayed for about three days. The mother said her last goodbyes to her child. It was a very emotional time for me and the mother as well. As I drove off I literally cried. I don’t know how a baby snatcher feels but I felt like one that day. On my way home traveling four hours, I called my sister and explained what I was feeling. She referred to me as a BABY SAVER. I have him now, Jayden is three weeks old. Everyday I ask myself, How could a parent give up your first grandchild? A childs life you should cherish forever. I mean I’m not really financially able but I’m managing. I have a supporting family as well as friends. Jayden is “Priceless” and he has been the best Xmas present anyone has ever given me. Enough about me, I heard couples of your song by limewire of course and they’re really nice. When I lived in New Orleans for five years 1999-2004, Back then you were part of the 504 Boyz. I also was employed by a Security Company in the Subdivision in which you lived E…Turn. I worked the West Gate and patrolled your area every Saturday night. I really think you guys in New Orleans are really giving back to your community and thats a great thing…Take care Birdman and Merry Xmas to you and your Family…Jazz1972…mssassy504@hotmail.com

I HOPE MY STORY HELPED AND TAUGHT PEOPLE A LESSON NOW YOU NKOW THATS WHY 09 CHRSTMAS WAS SO PRICELESS FOR ME !!!

THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY STORY….

I have to honestly say that this year will be my most priceless holiday. I was abandoned by my childrens father, so therefore I was left to cary the load. I have a 4 year old little girl and a 2year old little boy. Because of this rough economy, I could only find a part-time job which only allow me to work 4 hours a day. I don’t make very much money but yet God still makes a way for me and my children to get by. The reason why I say that this year is going to be my most priceless holiday, is because God loved and favored my children and I so much, that he allowed us to see another Christmas. I cant affored the things that my children would like, but they understand. Even though my daughter is only 4, she always tell me,” Mommy don’t worry because God will make a way for us somehow!” Im just so blessed and thankful that I get to spend my most piceless holiday with my two most priceless gifts. Good luck to the other members, and may God bless the person that will recieve this prize. I pray the blessings of the Lord rest upon all you and your families! God Bless :-)

MY MOST PRICELESS HOLIDAY MEMORY HAPPENED ON NEW YEARS EVE 2008. WELL, FOR STARTERS; MY BIOLOGICAL FATHER PASSED AWAY APRIL 1991 WHEN I WAS JUST 9 MONTHS OLD, THEREFORE, I WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET TO KNOW MY FATHER. ANYWAYS, I GUESS AFTER HE PASSED AWAY, HIS FAMILY AND MY MOTHER GREW APART AND ACCORDING TO MY MOTHER, SHE HADN’T SPOKEN TO THEM SINCE JUNE 1991. DUE TO THIS SEPARATION, I GREW UP NEVER HAVING MET MY FATHER’S SIDE OF MY FAMILY. WELL, WHEN I GOT TO BE ABOUT 13 YEARS OLD, I STARTED THINKING ABOUT THEM ALOT, YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT HOW THEY ARE, WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT. I ASKED MY MOTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR IDENTITY: FIRST AND LAST NAMES, WHERE THEY LIVED, THINGS LIKE THAT. SHE GAVE ME ALL THE INFORMATION AND AFTER I GAVE BIRTH TO MY SON AT AGE 15, I DECIDED TO LOOK FOR MY “LONG LOST” FAMILY. MY MOTHER TOOK ME TO THE HOMES THAT MY UNCLE AND ONE OF MY COUSINS USED TO LIVE IN, BUT THEY NO LONGER STAYED THERE, AND THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE AT THAT TIME OF COURSE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE PRIOR TENANTS. I DID AN ANTWONE FISHER MOVE AND LOOKED IN PHONE BOOKS FOR NUMBERS AND SUCH, BUT DIDN’T FIND ANYTHING. I CHECKED ON MYSPACE AND OF COURSE DIDN’T FIND ANYTHING SO I FINALLY DECIDED TO LEAVE IT ALONE. I TOLD MYSELF THAT THEY PROBABLY WOULDN’T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME ANYWAYS. IF THEY WANTED TO GET TO KNOW ME, THEN THEY WOULD’VE CONTACTED ME. WE STILL STAYED IN THE SAME HOUSE THAT MY MOTHER HAD LIVED IN SINCE SHE WAS 12 YEARS OLD. STILL HAD THE SAME HOUSE NUMBER, AND MY MOTHER STILL HAD THE SAME CELL PHONE NUMBER THAT SHE HAD SINCE 1989. MY MOTHERS NAME WAS STILL THE SAME AS WELL. SO I FIGURED IF THEY WANTED TO FIND ME THEN IT WOULDN’T BE HARD. THIS WAS IN EARLY 2006. WELL TWO YEARS PASSED AND I HAD ACTUALLY HAD FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION. NEW YEARS EVE OF 2008, I GOT A MESSAGE IN MY INBOX ON FACEBOOK IN THE MORNING FROM A GUY WITH THE SAME NAME AS MY FATHER’S FIRST SON. I READ THE MESSAGE AND IT WAS JUST ASKING ME ABOUT MY FATHER: WHAT WAS MY FATHERS NAME…DID HE PASS ON APRILS FOOLS DAY 1991…DO I HAVE AN OLDER BROTHER THAT MY MOTHER ALSO HAD BY MY FATHER…THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED BACK TO HIM ANSWERING ALL OF HIS QUESTIONS AND ASKING HIM HOW DOES HE KNOW ALL OF THAT AND IS HE MY BROTHER. HE SAYS YES…HE BEGINS TO TELL ME ALOT OF THINGS TO VERIFY THAT HE IS WHO IS SAYS HE IS, SO I ASK MY MOTHER TO READ EVERYTHING AND SHE VERIFIES THAT EVERYTHING THAT HE IS SAYING TO ME IS TRUE, AND SHE LOOKED AT THE PICTURE AND TELLS ME THAT HE IS MY BROTHER (HE IS ALOT OLDER THAN ME-ALMOST THE SAME AGE AS MY MOTHER—-MY FATHER IS 27 YEARS OLDER THAN MY MOTHER). SO HE GIVES ME HIS CELL NUMBER AND I CALL HIM AND HE INFORMS ME THAT HE IS IN TOWN FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND WOULD LIKE TO MEET UP WITH ME AND MY BROTHER (FULL BROTHER) IF MY BROTHER IS INTERESTED. SO THE NEXT DAY (NEW YEARS DAY 2009) HE COMES TO OUR HOUSE AND JUST GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER A LITTLE BETTER. HE INVITED US TO COME TO THEIR FAMILY HOLIDAY DINNER WHICH WAS AT HIS SON’S HOUSE (WHO LIVES HERE IN CLEVELAND, OHIO JUST A FEW MINUTES AWAY FROM ME). MY BROTHER DIDN’T WANT TO GO (HE DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THE WHOLE THING), BUT MY MOTHER INSISTED THAT I GO (I WAS HESITANT ABOUT MEETING BASICALLY MY WHOLE OTHER FAMILY). SO MY MOTHER WENT WITH ME, AND I HAD THE MOST MAGICAL TIME OF MY LIFE. I WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OTHER THAN WHEN MY SON WAS BORN THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I KNOW THIS SEEMS LIKE IT COMES STRAIGHT OUT OF ANTWONE FISHER’S LIFE, BUT IT WAS WONDERFUL. WE TALKED AND LAUGHED AND SHARED STORIES (AFTER THE INITIAL NERVOUSNESS WORE OFF). IT WAS A BLAST. SO THAT IS MY MOST PRICELESS HOLIDAY MEMORY.
BTW…OVER THIS PAST YEAR, I HAVE GROWN EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THEM, AND IT ALMOST SEEMS AS THOUGH WE HAD NEVER BEEN SEPARATED.

IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST OF 2005 MY FAMILY AND I LOST EVERYTHING. AT THE TIME MY OLDEST DAUGHTER WAS PREGNANT. SINCE LEAVING OUR HOME IN LOUISIANA IT HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE, LOSING MY MOM AND THE CORE OF OUR FAMILY A YEAR LATER AND MOVING TO MISSISSIPPI, ALL WE HAD GROWN TO LOVE AND HOLD DEAR WAS GONE, BUT GOD KELP OUR HEADS ABOVE WATER. THIS WILL BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS THAT MY KIDS AND I WILL HAVE. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH THREE WELL DESERVING KIDS, WHO DON’T ASK FOR MUCH BUT DESERVE A LOT. THROUGH IT ALL MY KIDS HAVE GROWN TO LOVE AND RESPECT EACH OTHER, OTHER PEOPLE AND THE LIFE THAT GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH. NOW WITH A NEW JOB AND GRACE FROM GOD ALMIGHTY I WILL BE ABLE GIVE THEM A XMAS THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE SINCE WE LEFT HOME(LOUISIANA)….BUT BESIDES THE MATERIAL THINGS WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR EACH OTHER AND THAT AFTER FOUR YEARS WE STILL ARE SURVIVING………….ALWAYS KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT LIFE THROWS YOUR WAY GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY OVER YOUR LIFE…………..BE BLESSED AND MERRY XMAS EVERYONE

My name is Paulette I am from Cleveland Ohio my most Priceless Holiday Memory was when I was 7 yrs old i come from a family of 5 and Both my parents are Deaf. We move to Cleveland from Memphis Tennesse when i was 2yrs old and we struggle the whole time we were here. We went many many days with out water lights and gas summer time and winter time and i just couldn’t understand why. For the first time on Xmas day we had nothing cut off. My parents brought us toys from the good will but they were the best toys we ever had. Just being in a warm house was a true Xmas fro us. We take so much for granted. Material things come and goes but i learn to look outside the box and see what other people are going thru. I am now 44 yrs old my son is 27 yrs old and my daughter is 19 yrs old. My son has 8 kids 6 girls and 2 boys. My grandkids ask me granny can i get this for xmas and that i told i have a greater gift my LOVE. I learn its not about material things but to help others. I took them to a shelter place and let them see what other people go thru. I love helping others . My grandkids are my crew waking up to them is a true Xmas and blessing for me. All these stories truly touch me and ever brought tears to me. I would love to help each and everyone of you and remember God has the last words. Please keep your head above the water. Good Luck to all of you.

Lots of Love
Paulette

My most memorable holiday is every holiday as long as God blesses me to wake up and enjoy each moment and day. People go thru struggles, its part of life. No one reaches 90yrs old on their death bed and say ” i had a very easy life !” That’s not realistic..So as long as we are alive to breath each breath, then its memorable. Going thru the hustle and baracades in this journey we call life has made most of us forget that alot of people are Gone. So i just want to end this with the advise that although people on here are writing sad stories only for the money, each day gives us hope to make better decisions and always thank God (for ppl who don’t believe in God, well, your higher power) for each MOMENT we get to enjoy with our loved ones..Thank you, happy holidays!!

My most memorable hoilday is when i had to go through thanksgiving and christmas with out my mother she passed away 6months after i had my little girl and she was my queen and alwys will be in my heart i miss her so much…But i know that she is smiling down on me letting me know that she is never that far away….And my wish is this year is to see my father and let him know that he have grandchildern that he need to meet and give them a christmas that they never had and have thanks to GOD cause without him i can’t make it..And by the way i got the new album “Priceless”and i love it thank you and Happy Hoildays to you and your family……Thank You

My most memorsble holiday will have to been last christmas because thatwas the last i saw my grandmother and great uncle who passed away this past sept and I truly know the holidays won’t be the same without them here.I know my mother just has been inspiration through losing her mother because through it all she has been staying focus on giviing back to others becasue that’s how my grandmother raised my mother.My wish this year would to be surrounded by loved one for the holidays and to continuie to give back this holidays to the less fortunate. I think we are blessed to just see another day and get in to the Chrsitmas mood and remember the holiday is about giving back to others it’s not aboutyour gifts you may get.I feel if i dont get another christmas gift i m just glad to wake another day and help brighter up another persons life. So forget about yourself this holiday and thin What can I do to help be a blessing to someonelse?”Your album is hot and keep making good music no matte what.

my most priceless holiday would have to be about

my most memorable holiday would have to be about 6 years ago. And it was when i had my grandmother and grandpa. we would all get together on the holidays and listen to music and look at old pictures. There is nothing like having your family around to share the good times. But after loosing my my grandparent the holidays have not been the same and they never will be. When they passed away apart of me died too so the holidays are not cheerful anymore. But the time i would have to pick is new years eve. My family would have a big party and all the family would come down and have a good time. MY grandmother was not like any other grandmother she was my best friend. I can still see her dancing in the middle of the floor. But i the reason why this sticks out o me is because when the ball was about to drop i ran to my grandmother and we watched the ball drop together and said I LOVE YOU to each other. SO new years eve would have to be the one i pick!

Well my most priceless moment for the holidays would have had to been last year during New Years!!! My Christmas wasn’t the best, because my brother had just passed and everybody’s spirits where low about it, and the energy for Christmas had went right out the window. So for New Years I had told myself I was going to go all out, do it big, and start the year off right. And that I did! I can remember it like it was last night. I had been shopping for the right outfit for like 3 days before, came up with this hot to def one piece bebe jumpsuit with some rockin gold stilettos. Yes, oh yes I was ready for my night. New Years eve came around and I was ready to hit the streets, didn’t know where I was going but I was going to end up some where. Every body was talking about going downtown on Beale Street here in Memphis so I took a jump for it. Me and my best friend Brittney got in my car and just went. The 1st stop was the club “level 2” and yes oh yes it was poppin. Went straight thru the VIP doors no questions and no waitin in lines. Felt like a movie star at my opening movie. LOL. Got to the VIP area and drinks where waitin like they just knew what I wanted before even asking. Spent about 2 hours in the club and was ready to make my next stop. Beale Street here we come. Got to Beale street and the blocks where packed from light to light. But it was all good me and my girl just parked our car at the gas station and started walking over to Beale. People where every where; guys where looking and asking for names. And for once females where giving compliments instead of hating (maybe a few where hating but you know how that is, lol). Made it to Beale and was on my Diva scroll. Every where I went I didn’t pay a dime, cause there was always someone offering me and my girl something. Made my way inside club 152 on Beale and was ready for the count down. Me and my girl was the life of the party on the 3rd floor. The DJ was giving us shout outs, and we where lifted. 5, 4, 3,2…1111111 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Priceless!!!!!

this past thanksgiving was a priceless holiday. Since moving to the city I missed a lot of moma’s home cooking but sickness and death in the family brought me home to her. My mother suffered a stroke last November and I had to rush home for that. She bounced back but in May she suffered kidney failure and that has put a lot of worries on me especially to see her with all these tubes in her at 56. I have prayed everyday almost and I thank God that i was able to spend time with her during Thanksgiving and be there for her in the unexpected death of my uncle Nate”carolina bulldog” Johnson. Moma can still cook too. She is one tough woman with skills. I would suprise her big time if i win this g.

After the passing of my mother 5 yrs ago on the 29 of November. Every 29th of November brings me more closer to understanding what an incredible force of nature she was and still is in my life. I’m from the boot you know, Lafayette, Louisiana to be exact. Birdman you know the depth of relationships between Louisiana men and their mothers. Nothing like it on the planet…..

My most priceless Christmas moment was in 2000. On October 2, 2000, I gave birth to a 1 pound baby girl. I didn’t know I was pregnant with her, The same day I found I was pregnant was the same day I had to have her because I had seizers and the doctor almost lost me 3 times. And what was a blessing to me is because even though she was only 1 pound, she was breathing on her own. I had to spend her 1st Thanksgiving with her in the hospital NICU. She’s was able to come home on Dec 6, 2000. So I got to spend time with my baby at home for her 1st Christmas. But on Jan 1,2001 she was only 3 months olds I had to take her back to the hospital so she could have surgery on her hernia. So I spent the New Years with her in the hospital.By the grace of God she made from being 1 pounds, from having surgery, to now being 9 years old and very healthy. So year 2000 was a good and should I say a very Priceless year for me….

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THIS LAST YEAR WAS MY MOST PRICELESS MOMENT, BECAUSE WITH IN THE MATTER OF MONTHS MY CHILD AND I LOST EVERYTHING… I HAD A GREAT JOB AS BEING A DIALYSIS TECH, I LOVE MY JOB,BUT WAS LAID OFF THEN MY BILLS STARTED TO GET BEHIND AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE PERSON I THOUGHT THAT WAS MY BESTFRIEND TOTALED MY CAR OUT AND DID WANT NO PART INTO HELPING ME TO GET MY CAR FIX AT ALL, THEN I COME HOME FROM THAT TO FIND OUT THAT MY CHILD AND I WAS ROBBED I MEAN THEY TOOK EVERYTHING FROM US IM TALKING FLAT SCREEN TV’S TO BED SET I MEAN THE PEOPLE THAT DID THIS WAS NO JOKE THEY REALLY TOOK EVERYTHING.. MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS LEFT WITH WITH JUST OUR CLOSE AND TO MAKE MATTERS EVERN WORSE NO ONE IN THE NEBORHOOD KNOW WHO TOOK OUR THINGS OUR EVEN SEEN IT LEAVE SO THEY SAY.. AND ALL I COULD DO WAS LOOK AT MY CHILD AND TELL HER IM SORRY AND AT THAT VERY MOMENT I BROKE DOWN CRYING BECAUSE ALL IWANTED TO DO IS GIVE MY CHILD THE LIFE I NEVER HAD AS ANY PARENT WOULD WANT TO DO AND LIVE FREE AND NOT WANT FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I WORKED SO HARD FOR WAS JUST GONE JUST LIKE THAT.. I MEAN I CRYED AND PRAYED TO GOD SO HARD ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPED TO ME BUT I REALIZE THAT THESE THINGS WERE MATERIAL THINGS AND WHAT I NEEDED WAS RITE IN FRONT OF ME.. MY CHILD.. SHE AND GOD HAS BEEN BYE MYSIDE THOUGH IT ALL AND IM STILL GOING STRONG AS A SINGLE PARENT TRYEN TO MAKE IT DAY BYE DAY… AND WITH THEM TWO WITH ME I OWULD HAVE TO SAY THATS PRICELESS!!!!! I WAKE UP EVERYDAY WITH HOPE THAT SOME DAY LIFE WOULD BE BETTER FOR MY CHILD AND I AND I TRUELY BELIVE THAT ONE DAY IT WILL… GOD BLESS

MY MOST PRICELESS MOMENT HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEAR AGO. MY GREAT GRAND MA WAS 102 YEARS OLD AND MY MOM BOUGHT HER A JUMBO SIZE BAG OF M&M’S WITH THE PEANUTS AS A PRESENT FOR CHRISTMAS.( GG MA NEVER KNEW THEY CAME IN A BAG THAT BIG) SHE WAS SHOCKED AND SHE STARTED CRYING. MY LITTLE CUZIN WHO WAS 1 1/2 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME SAW THE CANDY AND WENT AFTER GG MA. IT WAS A SIGHT TO SEE.. GG MA AND A BABY FIGHTING AND ARGUING OVER SOME M&M’S. EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM FELL TO THE FLOOR LAUGHING. FOUR GENERATION IN ONE HOUSE SHARING A MOMENT LIKE THAT IS PRICELESS. WE SHOULD HAVE GOT IT ON CAMERA..
