What are the best gifts you’ve ever received?
Truth is, our most precious gifts are the things we often take for granted. Things like good health, our family, and our friends. These are priceless treasures, far more valuable than we realize — until they’re gone.

You know what I want for Christmas?

Daniel Negreanu is my selection as the 2013 “Poker Person of the Year.” [see footnote below]
