Carol Perkins: The Christmas with the best present ever What was in the box? She could never have guessed. Many women would not think it a romantic gift at all. But for Carol Perkins, it was. And it was priceless. Last week's column: Carol Perkins: Major changes in Christmases past and present By Carol Perkins The box sat under the tree for two weeks before Christmas.

It wasn't a pair of shoes; he would never know the size or the style. It wasn't jewelry and it wasn't perfume. He is also not into trick boxes, so I knew whatever was in that box was what was in that box.
