THE BEST GIFT best sung by Barbra Steisand (No matter your opinion of Barbra, she undeniably sings like no other.)

My daughters and I love this song. We used to sing it along with Barbra every Christmas season when we listened to "The Christmas Album" by Streisand. Olivia received "The Best Gift" and just before Christmas! Listen here. (I don't know these people, but I do know the blessing of twin grandchildren!!!!) The best gift That I ever got Didn't really weigh a lot It didn't have a ribbon 'round And it sometimes made the terrible sound The best of all it seems to me It wasn't neath the Christmas tree And yet, I guess I'd have to say That it made all the other presents twice as gay The best gift that I've ever known I'd always wanted most to own Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice I never thought it could be so nice The best gift that I ever get Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet Was usually pink but oftentimes red As it lay so innocently in its bed The best gift of the year to me The one I hold most dear to me A gift that simply drove me wild Was a tiny new born child... (Please excuse anything theologically incorrect!) ALSO I highly reccomennd "My Favorite Things" sung by Striesand from the same album. The original skippy song is interpreted with melancholy soul. One of My Favorite Things!
