My dad builds those incredibly complex wooden ship models.
Last year I bought him a Chinese Junk model online from an Italian high-end model company. I told him he was to build it and give it back to me this Christmas.
In April he was diagnosed with colon cancer and was not expected to live past May.
Luckily the radiation therapy worked miracles and he was up and running around within a month. We even took a Tahoe vacation in October.
Anyway - Christmas Eve he presented me with the finished Chinese Junk.

Best Christmas present ever.
