We had a fabulous Christmas at the Martineau house and I hope you did too. Two of my favourite parts of Christmas are watching my girl’s reaction to their gifts and then seeing them play with them.
Lauren and I knew what the perfect gift for our youngest daughter would be this year. Mallory has been wanting a camera for a long time. She wanted one so badly that she started saving her money to buy one. So we started looking for the perfect camera for her and we found one.
She was over the top excited when she opened her present and she started using her camera immediately. She has spent the last couple of days taking pictures and videos.
One of her videos caught my attention.
It is hilarious!
In the video Mallory is tormenting our two dogs with the elf hats that we had got them for Christmas (I know … we are terrible pet owners:). The best part is her monologue as she is doing it.
Check it out!
What has been the best gift you have ever received for Christmas?









This video is too cute. Reminds me so much of something my daughter would do.
I think the best gift I ever got for Christmas really had nothing to do with the gift. It was the memories of time shared with family.
That is a great gift to treasure Gerald!
What a sweet video Kevin and your dog is so cute. I’ve never been a “stuff” person, so I’d have to agree that my best Christmas gifts have always been memories and times spent with loved ones.
Thanks Marty!
That is so cute, Kevin! And no, the dog did not look too happy about it.
Thanks for sharing.
She definitely was not happy!
Thanks for sharing Jason!

Thanks for sharing Fatima.
Wow really I think your when she grow up there a lot of boys that really addicted to her she’s really pretty..
What a treat … for all of you. That always makes it even better.
For me, a gift from the Lord, spending Christmas in Uganda 3 times. Not a lot of personal gifts available, sometimes too hot there… WAY too hot… and a non-floral time, but, as poor as I was in prior years, to be in Africa, traveling and “being” was all that could possibly count.
That’s sounds like an awesome gift Joanne!
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for sharing very nice video of your daughter.
My best gift that I have received for Christmas was a small doll. It was my first doll so I remember it till today. Thanks.
It is amazing how gifts from our childhood are still remembered much later.
Thanks for sharing!
Too cute! I actually don’t remember a specific gift, but I can tell you that Christmas is the best part of the year for me because as a kid we (my mom, dad, brothers and I) used to go to my grandma’s and meet with ALL my cousins and extended family. The gifts… I really don’t remember… it’s the awesome feeling of union, family and love that stuck with me throughout the years.
Spending time with family is definitely an incredible gift!
Thanks for sharing Cynthia!
