The best gift I ever gave over the holidays was that I cleaned the dishes.  Just for my mom.  After she finally noticed I told that I did it all myself.  She was so happy and proud with a big smile on her face. It made me feel good that I did something nice for her.  I did it because she works so hard trying to go to school, work and take care of our family. I wanted to make her happy.  That was the best gift I ever gave my mom.
