What was your Christmas gift that got away?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) December 21st, 2010

People always say there is a love or sweetheart that we all let get away. What was your special Christmas gift that got away? Was it something you could have bought yourself? Was it something that by the time you had the bucks to get it, it was no longer available? What was that one thing you really wanted but never got and don’t you dare say a pony?

We live in a country and world where most of us in the states are very comfortable and not lacking too much. I am happy with all I have and don’t need anything more. If I were to pass on tomorrow I would be happy with the life I have had. I guess I could give of myself more to those in need.

An E-Z Bake Oven. For years I asked for one of those things and never go it. My mom always said, “I’ll bake with you,” and then she didn’t have time. Once I got old enough o bake on my own, she would direct me a little, but not too much. I think the trauma of not getting that oven is what ultimately pushed me into a pastry arts diploma. :P

A doll house. Growing up, I knew we couldn’t afford one, so I never asked my parents. Recently my mom got her old one from her mother and gave it to me, but I’m too old to do anything with it. I guess I can just fix it up and hope to give it to a possible future daughter.

@tedibear I wanted an EZ bake, too! I wrote a letter to Santa but never told my mom. Maybe this started my cynicism about men!
