Dear Reader,

I still ask Santa for new pjs every Christmas. This is one of my favorite holiday columns. Be sure to take a look at the photo.

When I was a kid, my friends thought getting pajamas for Christmas was boring, but not me. New pjs were the highlight of my Christmas bounty. It was the first package I'd look for under the tree. Actually, it was pretty easy to find...it was "shake-less". The quietest package under the tree, but the one that always delighted me the most.

I could always count on Grandma for pjs. They were never boring, but always a little too big in case they "shrunk" or I grew.

When my assistant asked me the other day, "Suzanne, what's the best Christmas present you ever got?" There was no doubt in my mind--no runner up: My red and white jammies with the matching cap to keep me warm. To take a trip with me down memory lane and see me in my favorite pjs, go to: http://www.emailbookclub.com/pajamas.html

Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

(I hope you get pj's this year.)

Warmest Holiday Wishes,

Mine was the Ragedy Anne and Andy Am/Fm Radio. I asked for a transister radio for Christmas I was 10, and it's all I wanted. I loved that radio for whole five minutes, until my brother Joseph took it apart to see how it works. 30 yeaers later I still have yet to forgive him, even though just recently he gave me a portable CD player for my car. mjw
