Best and Worst Christmas Moments?

As for me, its all good. My best Christmas presents were

Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises; Charles Kendleberger and Robert Aliber.

The Limits of Power; Andrew J. Bacevich

A Bakelite bracelet and the knowledge that my daughters can support themselves, if we are ever forced to flee the country, by making and selling either bread or handmade jewelry.

Aside from that, I feel an immense outpouring of gratitude that on this day-which-is-not-our-holiday we were together without any wingnut relatives driving us crazy. If we have any, they were far away and long forgotten.

But if your experiences were different, you can post them here.
