Some years ago, I was in search of the perfect Christmas present for my grandmother, and I found it.  She was the one who started our family vacations in Branson around 1960. 

Over the years, her health failed until her SDC, Baldknobbers, and fishing days were over.  My gift was to bring  a piece of those good times to her. I bought a Baldkobber show VCR tape, but I needed some help pulling off the best part.  Jim Mabe, Droopy Drawers, met me at their Christmas party, stepped out, and recorded a personal message to her at the end of the tape.

When he said "hi, Momminy, " (our name for her), she said "well, hi." before it sunk in that he had recorded his message.

Hands down-my favorite Christmas gift ever!
