My favorite gift was a wii!
I gave my daughter the Wii Draw tablet and game she asked for back in spring which I told her was too much money. She was so shocked when she opened it her mouth had dropped open and she said to her Stepfather “Do you know how much this costs ?”
It was such a great moment as she loves doing computer artwork and I saved the money to get her that.
I got a trip to see my parents in Florida.
my favorite gift was my coach cross body purse from my husband!
My best present was a LeCreuset dutch oven in cassis.
I received a programmable crock pot! I have been using a 20 year old crock pot that has low and high and food never really turns out. I can’t wait to use it!
I got a knew cast iron frying pan!
My favorite vegetable is a potatoe. I like new clothes and potatoes tast better when they are all dressed up!
My favorite gift was the epic pull-up bar that I got. I can’t help but do a set every time I walk in/out of the room.
my best present was a new wallet and bag!!
My favorite gift was a new Iphone. Never guessed I’d get one!
fav gift was the whole series of Harry Potter Movies. The kids LOVE it so much.
My favorite present would have been my hubby home from Korea but since that didn’t happen my favorite present was the excitement on our kids faces as they opened their gifts. Christmas is not the same w/out their Dad but the joy on their faces and skype actually working so he could watch them open gifts was the greatest present I could ask for =)
Woooo, I got an iPod Touch…not too shabby
My husband got me a Canon EOS T3! I only have a point and shoot so have lots of learning to do!!
My best present was from my sister: a hardcover book that she had printed with each page being photos of funny faces of everyone in my little family, including myself and my little niece who is five, through the years. It laughed so hard I cried upon first looking at it! Very creative and personal especially since I live across the country. It will make me smile every time I look at it and I’ll treasure it forever.
The older I’ve become, the more and more I don’t feel the need for expensive gifts. Out of my presents, my 3 new books are definitely my favorite. Besides that, cooking with my Dad and just eating a bunch of treats and turkey has been the best gift, as always.
I hope you and your family had a great Christmas, Zesty.
I got a Ninja pulse, a Kindle, a Garmin Forerunner 305, and a fluid trainer to train with my bike inside!! I can’t pick my favorite!
My daughter gave us a picture frame with family pictures in the picture ‘slots’. It is a special treasure for this grandmother.
I received an iPad this year, and it’s awesome!
My favorite present received was Pfaltzgraff dishes. The favorite gift I gave was the last book in the Inheritance series. However, my Sister-in-Law was the most appreciative of a gift which was a flirty apron.
I’ve been having an awesome time dancing with my 3 daughters to their new just dance 3 on kinect…80′s songs are my fav!
The best gift I had was having a wonderful turkey dinner with my husband – and turkey sandwiches the next day!
I definitely ‘like’ Zesty Cook on FaceBook. Happy Holidays to all.
Happy Holidays Zesty! My favorite gift was one that Santa gave our 3 1/2 year old daughter. She loves “fixing” things and doing “carpentry” work with her Dad, so Sanata gave her a Black and Decker kiddie drill & tool set. It is hilarious to watch her use it.
My favorite gift was a Leapad for our daughters.
Well..for me…I got the best gift of all. I got two new sons-in-law this year. And I knew that one of them was going to be with us for Christmas. But I was surprised by the other one on Christmas Eve. It was so amazing to have both my daughters and their new hubbies here. (and yes…I cried)
I got each one of my kids the video games they wanted. I got a BN gift card and was able to buy Hunger Games!
I “Liked” Zesty on facebook
My favorite holiday tradition is opening gifts with our kids on Christmas Eve, nibbling on appies and drinking hot chocolate
My favorite holiday dish is creamy mashed potatoes with real butter, cream, cream and cheese
Rich, but oh so good.
The first thing I would make is a huge batch of chocolate chip cookies!
My favorite holiday movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life”
I tweeted your contest
My favorite is a gift that our family will all be able to enjoy later. With 3 of our children going to different colleges in different states and doing internships, a family vacation is virtually impossible. My husband, our 4 children and son in law are all going to go to Disney World for 4 days!!!!! It will be wonderful, all being able to enjoy a vacation together:)
My favorite chocolate is a toss up between Ferrero Rochet, and Turtles
My favorite vegetable is candied carrots
I would like to see Zesty do an article on how to cook and be clean at the same time with kitchen prep. My kitchen always looks like a disaster when I`m finished. :s
My favorite Zesty dessert post is `Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes` Seriously. YUMM.
my favorite gift was just being able to be around family…i just moved across the country so it was nice to be able to spend time with them!
I have to say that the best gift of the year for me was a travel backpack. My husband and I hope to go to Thailand next year and it was just what we needed!
My best gift was the look of wonder in my daughter’s eyes when she saw a little bed that she truly believed was made by the North Pole elves for her favorite stuffies.
I made my sister a cranberry-tangerine infused vodka. It looked fabulous and tasted just as good. She was thrilled.
The best present I got this year was a really lovely Sterling Silver Chain, thicker than those most pendants come with (I tend to break the cheap ones, I have a toddler and a 7mo old… )

My favorite Christmas Movie is the Polar Express
My favorite gift was new clothes.
We are so lucky to spend time with family and friends but the best gift is spending the night with my son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. Seeing the excitement on their faces on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning was the best gift ever but
we did receive an Ipad 2 from the kids. Just have to learn how to use it.

The best gift was my husband being home for Christmas,and the Gordon Ramsay pots (royal dalton) he got me!!!!
I think my favorite gift was the restaurant gift cards my parents gave us – we don’t get out much, so it’s a good excuse to use them.

My favorite gift I gave was a rain barrel to my Mom.
My favorite holiday tradition was to go to my Aunt’s house on Christmas Eve, we would have dinner, open gifts amongst the family there and then we would all get into cars and drive around looking at Christmas lights and decorations . . .
A waffle maker! Used it this morning and love it!
My favorite Holiday dish is Cranberry Sauce, Salad, or Chutney. I try to make a new and different cranberry dish every year. I’ve made it with jalapenos to the rich spicy without the heat. Yum Yum
I don’t know what the first thing I would make with the mixer as I plan on giving it to my daughter. She is a stay at home wife, mom, chief executive of the household, chef that home schools my three grandchildren and currently is going to school online at Western Governor’s University working towards her bachelor’s degree.
My new favorite movie is Silver Bells from the book written by Luanne Rice. Great movie with a great story line.

I have a few favourite gifts: my annual calendar that my sister makes and my oldest nephew bought me a Jack the Pumpkin King blanket. Followed closely by getting the box set of Harry Potter movies.
70 comments already for the 12th day of Christmas! My favorite present this year came from my son and my daughter (and her hubby & kids). It’s a new camera. Yay, now I can take better photos than ever for both my blogs. Especially pleased that I’ll be able to get close up even when I’m far away.
I make a lot of homemade goodies to give as Christmas gifts. It’s the appreciation from others when they open up and enjoy (and hide from others!) their favourite homemade treats.
My favorite present that I gave this year was a digital photo frame that I filled with family photos and gave to my parents. They were delighted!
My favorite present to receive was an iPad2. Awesome!

A favorote holiday movie would be Polar Express.
The chocolate caramel brownie recipe looks amazing and something my family would like.
One of my favorite vegetables is fresh green beans they can be made so many different ways I love them!
I added Zesty to my Google reader.
Topics for the new year – how about recipes using coconut butter and coconut oil. I am learning how to incorporate them into my diet and would love some new recipes using them.
My favorite gift this year was the beautiful necklace my husband gave me….or maybe it was the wonderful winter coat…..and definitely the best gift I gave was my husbands hand crafted bookshelf/nightstand or maybe it was my sons brand new renovated bedroom surprise:):) it was just a great Christmas this year:)
I got a MacBook Air for Christmas!! I was so excited I think my reaction scared my family
I got an iPad 2. I’m so spoiled! But my best gift was having all of my family together for Christmas and my grandchildren’s excitement! This is the first year in many we’ve had a child in the house that was so excited for Santa and Christmas. It was wonderful!!!
The first thing I would make in the mixer would be a holiday cheese ball…. I am craving my Grandmother’s cheeseball recipe!
My two little girls are obsessed with unicorns lately. My favorite thing to get them were their unicorn themed gifts. Also, they got a karaoke machine. It has been so funny seeing them dancing around seeing it. We really only bought for the kids this year, and I think it has been one of the best Christmases ever. =)
My favorite gift this year was the entry my husband gave me for the Carlsbad 5k. We are running it as a family which is really awesome.
We haven’t opened gifts yet! But I got my sister a game (which I forget the name of at the moment) that I’m excited to play with her. And we got my mom gift certificates for massages.
Fave dessert post? Triple Chocolate Brownies. Duh.
