I actually received my most memorable gift yesterday and it was from my wife. Back in the 50's my parents purchased a large Lionel train set from the 1940's era. For a whole host of reasons, they never set it up. After they passed away in the 80's I ended up with the set, but it needed too much work to get going and I did what my parents did and I boxed it away for many years.

My wife of 33 years new how much this train set meant to me (nostalgic reasons), so she had the trains professionally restored and bought a new transformer and track and when I walked in to the living room yesterday, my children had it set up and running right by the Christmas tree. For a brief moment, on this Christmas morning, I felt like a kid again....
