Coffee Maker for Christmas

One year I was looking a good Christmas present for Dad. I looked and looked but couldn’t find anything that I wanted to get him.  Dad was always driving down to the Circle K (at the time) getting coffee, so I decided I would get him a little 4 cup coffee maker.  I knew Mom wouldn’t approve, but he was going down to the store all the time to get a cup of coffee anyway, so did it really matter?  The following summer I was standing in the driveway with Dad talking “things” when all of a sudden he tells me how much he appreciated and enjoyed the coffee maker!!  I think that was one of the best gifts that I’ve every gotten for anybody.  It still means a lot to me when I think about it today.
