The best present I have ever received was a picture book. This is a Christmas present I got when I was five. My parents (also called Santa Claus) gave it to me.

The reasons why this is special is because the heroine of this picture book is me and there were letters from the other characters and my parents in this book. The content of this picture book is shown as below.

I’m Santa in this book. I deliver presents to children in a town with a teddy bear on Christmas eve. The heroine, me and the teddy bear feel so happy when they look at smiles of children who get some presents they wanted. Then she learns that it is fun to delight people. Finally, the teddy bear goes home to Finland with a promise that they’ll meet next Christmas eve, and never forget each other.

This present is important because of its memories rather than itself as an object. I can feel that I am loved by my parents when I see this present. I have my mind set on loving my family every time when I see it. That is why I choose it to the best present for a special day.
