To tell you all this

[jayisforjessica]

I freely admit this is a bit boasting. (A bit?) But I'm so proud and so pleased, just had to share.

DS's Christmas gift to me was two songs that he had recorded himself - him on guitar, him singing, and he'd somehow downloaded some kind of music mixing software, so they were properly recorded. He told me he'd done the guitar first, then recorded the singing over top of it. On the second song he's managed to harmonize with himself!!!

AIBU to have cried?

Sounds beautiful, lucky you. That's a wonderful gift to enjoy forever.

Course your not unreasonable

I think I would have done too

My SIL got me a canvas of me, Dh and the two DC on it. The only photo I have of us as a family. I might have cried a little

Awesome

Aw ! How old is he ?

Not at all boasty, it's lovely.

My DS is a composer and musician and frequently writes songs for me He never really understands why this means so much to me.

It's brilliant he has taken the time to do this for you

Aww OP that's lovely.

5yo DS wrapped me a rubber and put it in my stocking

Aw, what a lovely thoughtful gift

What a lovely boy. X

You must be so proud of him! What a lovely gift

Sniff

That's lovely! I would cry too, as would my mum. My DB painted some things for my mum one year, she loved it.

He's twelve :) And he has a lovely voice. His guitar playing has come along so well too! He's teaching himself - he got the guitar for Christmas last year :)

Bit cringy

California who rattled your cage. That is a lovely gift that he has put a lot of time and effort in to

I think someone has pissed on californias chips this morning it is lovely OP

Yanbu!
Sounds lovely 😊

How lovely!

Not having a good day california. Envy emanating through your brief comment.

OP, that sounds wonderful. What a cracking young man you have there, a lovely thoughtful gift.

That's really made me smile; how lovely.

That is really lovely!

california I'm a music teacher in a secondary school and would be delighted if my students were putting together tracks using their own initiative, like the OP's DS. It would upset me if some parents had your attitude towards music making.

OP your son is great! :)

It is an amazing gift.

That's lovely OP, I doubt you could have had a better present

caifornia aww are you jealous?

How beautiful! Mere Christmas.

That's a fantastic present!
