"My Favorite Holiday Gift" with Lisa Konecny

In this season's final installment, here's the one and only Lisa Konency talking about her favorite holiday gift. That's quite some "buddy" she has!

"My Favorite Holiday Gift" with Ricky Sylvia

Ricky Sylvia of The Buzzcatz has been a friend since 1993 (my first year in business!) and so it was fun for me to document this latest installment. Ricky is a hard-core Miami Dolphins fan, and so it's no surprise what his favorite holiday gift turned out to be.

The question is ... will the helmet still fit?? Watch below and find out!

"My Favorite Holiday Gift" with yours truly

It's a cliche' that those of us who spend our time behind the camera are typically uncomfortable being in front of it, and it's definitely true in my case! However, if I have asked my friends to talk about their favorite holiday gift memory, I couldn't pass up the chance to talk about my own.

So, here I am for a rare appearance on the convex side of the lens!

"My Favorite Holiday Gift" with Ginger Midgett

Now this is recycling! My pal Ginger Midgett apparently loved this gift so much that it remains in the family (in her Mom's basement) where her kids still play with it.

Please take a few minutes to enjoy Ginger's photography -- she's far too modest to admit it herself, but I think she's tops!

"My Favorite Holiday Gift" with Susan Southerland

Ladies and gentleman, my friend Susan "Pinball Wizard" Southerland, discussing one of her favorite holiday gifts! Susan, you were such a cute little girl!

"My Favorite Holiday Gift" with Maria Shafer

Oh, Maria Shafer. How long have we been friends now?

Maria enthusiastically raised her hand to volunteer for this video, which will be part of a pre-holiday blog series. I simply asked Maria to tell me about her favorite, or most memorable, holiday gift. Her sad story is something that could only happen to Maria.

If you have a fun or interesting story about your favorite holiday gift and want to tell me about it in this series, let me know and we'll set it up!

Please enjoy the first installment of this mini-series ... and then go shopping!
