My parents didn't give themselves a Christmas that year but I'll tell you what -- it was a life-changing thing for me," Mike Huckabee said. Former Arkansas governor and host of "Huckabee" on Fox is talking about an electric guitar his parents got him for Christmas when the budding musician was 11 years old. "They ordered it from JC Penney, a kit that even came with a little amp. We were poor but my folks did whatever they could to get me that guitar. They knew it would make a difference."
