How could I forget to include the annual Christmas party stories? Our group of friends decided to start our own annual Christmas party in which everyone brings a gift and then we draw numbers and play what most people call the Chinese Christmas game. Adam would get so excited as the time would come near because he got so much joy out of coming up with the most creative gift, hence not always the best gift. One year we went to Target together, and for some reason there was all this Nascar Christmas stuff out. A lightning bolt hit...Adam decided to make a Nascar Christmas gift basket. The basket included a Nascar stocking, Nascar mug with hot chocolate, Milwalkee Ice beer, and tobacco. He made me wrap it up really nice so that hopefully one of the girls would grab it which is exactly what happened. There is a tangent to this story. Unfortunately, our friend who had the Christmas party had their house robbed and all the presents under the tree were taken with the exception of the Nascar Christmas basket. Adam thought this was hilarious. The next year Adam wanted to top his gift but in a different way. Adam wanted to bring the best gift so everyone would fight over it. Adam was ordering some Omaha steaks for his dad so he decided to place an extra order for the party. We bought a styrofoam icechest and put the steaks in there. It was interesting trying to wrap it up b/c we were laughing so hard! Adam got what he wanted, this gift was the most popular at the party. Also at the party, Adam was so sweet and would always do whatever he could to get the gifts that I wanted even if it meant trading out something he wanted.
