One year we gave my father-in-law a recliner that we paid over a grand for ...

What did I get in return ...

Smoke Detectors ... 2 of them ...




Those smoke detectors worked for about 2 minutes in the rather large leaf fire I burned them in ...

Men are from Mars, Boy-Bands are from Venus.

I got a copy of Cliffhanger...on VHS...LAST Christmas!

And my friend knew I've been buying DVD's for 2 years!

It was bad enough when I realized it was a VHS tape, but then to see it was a movie that was 7 years old...

One year from my step-grandparents I got a pinecone moquito.
I think it also had a thermomiter(SP) on it.
I think it broke the sound barrier going into the trash.

\"No, thats big o\' me!\"

Magic armour is good but it tends to lose its magic without warning. Many an ancient lords last words had been \" You can\'t kill me because I\'ve got magic AARRGG!\"

Oops I forgot to add that I love getting books for Christmas - just as long as they are ones I want.

Worst Christmas gift ever: Cheap Telescope that I swore had the lenses made of plastic. Best gift ever: those I spend with family

There are many of you out there who will jump on my declaration of this as the worst gift I ever got. Maybe many, many or you.

One year I was visiting my Canadian cousins, who didn't know me well (but meant well). They gave me a quarter ounce of grass, pot, mary-jee-wana.

This to a guy who was:
a. One of the squarest guys you'll ever met (I still am).
b. In the US Navy, which in the early 80s, locked people up for that sort of thing (not just a ticket).
c. Stationed on a Navy base that routinely brought drug dogs out to scope out vehicles coming on board.
d. Had to cross the border to get home after the holidays.

My cousins were delighted when I gave it back to them for a New Year's present. Hmmm, maybe they did know me well enough. They gave me something that they wanted, perhaps knowing that it would be returned to them?

In my stocking one year... I received one of those Biore nose pads that clean off your nose. Nothing huge, but hey... I'm no girl!!

My sister gave me a huge box, I opened it and there was another inside, I opened that one and there was another inside....you get the idea until I opened the last box.
A box of coal.
