For this special holiday edition of Forum, we asked you to leave the news of the day behind and share some memories of the best – or worst – gifts you'd ever received. To our delight (and perhaps the relief of some of your loved ones), you only provided the good stuff, so we've rounded up a few of the sweetest memories you shared and none of the bad gift smack-talking.

Read a collection of your responses below, or send in your own to us at forum@usatoday.com. Happy holidays, and thank you for lending us your voices and your precious time........
