What a wonderful milestone for you both.  I have same and we will enjoy her visit mid-January when airfares are better.  For us, we are happy to see each other in person anytime.  We raised our kids together & more...I'm counting the days😊😊

 

Have a spectacular time together🎅🏻🎄

I hope you enjoy your time together!   My best friend from high school and I still see each other often, we have always remained close through all these years.   It's something we are very lucky to have.   There are a few friends that I am "somewhat" close to still but not like my bestie!!   We're more like sisters in a way.

You two are SO lucky to have such a Life long friendship and shared history.  It's a rare and special thing these days.

I just saw this thread.  Such a nice tradition!

 

I have a friend who I met when our boys were in kindergarten.  They are now both 34.  We have been exchanging gifts since then.  It's been around 28 years. 

 

We were supposed to get together yesterday but her whole family has come down with Covid.  She's feeling better and we will try to do our Christmas thing next week...we go to Peddler's Village to eat and do some shopping then she comes to my house and we exchange gifts and have dessert.
