On My 1st Day of Christmas 2013

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Ernest @DisneyBritton
One moment in 2013's 12 Days of Christmas will not be forgotten: the moment I saw a shiny new FIAT in our garage. Christmas morning began as planned, with the exchange of 3-gifts of gold, white, and red; but then Greg said he had one more thing in the car that was too big to carry alone.  I was puzzled, and a little annoyed he wasn't following the 3-gift plan, but when I opened the garage door---wow! There it was, with a giant-sized Christmas bow a top---just like a TV commercial. I laughed so hard that my stomach cramped. Yes, it's really a family gift (for us together, for Kasey, and for our two moms), but the surprise was 100% mine, making it my Partridge in a Pear Tree. [Previous Year]

What about gifts to the rest of the family (by age)?
