Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone is hanging in tonight...See we had some newcomers join the board. Hope you all hang around....this is a great place to be. And also someone has returned, Carrie, I don't think we ever met....Hi I'm Tina, nice to meet you....I thought maybe since Danny keeps us all in jokes maybe we can give him a good laugh. It might also help someone else who we don't know that needs a good laugh or just a change of pace......
So shall we play: Ok what was you most funniest, sickest, weirdest or worst christmas gift......no using fuitcakes....
I'll be back to post mine....
Have fun,
Tina
I will say hi to you Tina, and say thank you for the welcome back. It is nice to meet you. My worst Christmas gift had to have been the banana. You see since I was little, I ate too many bananas and got sick off them. My Dad did the same as a child I guess. We both hate banana's. YUCK.
So one Christmas, as a joke, I gave him a banana. All wrapped up pretty and everything. So, he decided to put it in the freezer after he got it from me, and low and behold it was one of my presents last year from him. He kept that banana on ice for six years.
Of course by the time I opened it, it was black and OH so nasty. So, I put it in a ziplock bag, and it is going to be wrapped on Friday afternoon, so it has time to thaw, and will be apart of his treats back.
Who would have thought this banana would turn into such a fun little gift, and nasty too. HEHE

my mother gave me a rootabager its a round like cabbagr little purple thats about it this is graet misteyes thank you ooooooooooo my dog is trying to push a toy to throw on me the little cutie poopie
OK- I once gave my Grandmas a "Clapper". Remember those? Where you clap your hands and the lights go off? Ya, I gave her one. She looked at me like I was insane. Hey, I was young.
Ok, While I have a second I will post mine.....this was my present last year.
The story goes: About a week before Christmas the hubby comes home with a bunch of bags. As usual he gets everything in boxes, tapes them tight and gives them to me to wrap. One box, doesn't need to be wrapped. It is so pretty, pink with bows all over it and its from Victoria Secrets. Ok, so I am wondering what could it be....So it sits under the tree and drives me crazy for a week. I could peek but I don't and I am proud for not ruining the surprise. Christmas comes and I can't wait to open it.....I save it for last, thinking it will be the best present in the bunch. When I finally got to open it imagine my surprise when I find flannel pj's! Not going to tell you what I said to him......
He called me yesterday while in the mall and asked if I wanted anything from there....my answer, you better not buy any flannel pj's!

Flannel Jammies from Victoria Secrets? LMAO........Howling....... Did you tell him that store is as much for HIM as it is for YOU? That is just so funny! He sounds like a very sweet and practical guy. He wanted you to be warm I guess!
That my dear is true love!

lol funny thread just what we need. Anyway in my teenage years a b/f brought me a large box of dark chocoletes for christmas (which i hate by the way lol) so as not to upset him i slowly ate one or two every time he came around. A few months on and we were all (as you do) chatting about christmases past when my b/f (soon to be ex lol) looked up and said how he got abox of plain chocletes on the cheap and how much he loved dark chocoletes and was hoping that i would share them with him due to the fact he knew i never liked them. cheek or what to think i endured the things to be nice lol jackie xxxxxx
Hi, everyone
We exchange names with my brother, sister and spouses. One year, my husband asked for a sexy nighty for me as one of his gifts. Well, I didn't know this, but my brother-in-law, who had my husband's name, of course wanted to fulfill his wishes. Everyone was watching as I opened the box - all my neices, nephews, and children. Inside was bright red shear baby doll pajamas. The only thing that was solid was 2 red satin pockets, strategically placed. My face matched them perfectly! Then to top it off, everyone kept asking me for weeks later if I tried them yet. How embarrassing but fun. The next year we ladies got back at the men without even knowing each of us was doing it. We bought them sexy undies.
Merry Christmas!

Every year my grandmother makes up 4 big cardboard boxes in it there is tolet paper,fixodent and alot of useful stuff and every year we each get a can of lenti soup because my grandmother read that if you eat that on New Years Eve you will have a year filled with money.Well I'm waiting still ffor about 16yrs worth of money The ONLY thing any of us have gotten was enough gas to start our own gas station.PUUUUUWWWWW STINKY.I guess its the thought right?????mj
we still laugh about my first Christmas with my current wife. We werent married then, she had just kinda moved in with me a few months before. I had been divorced for a couple years, & until she came along my Christmases were spent pretty much like this: My little girls would stay over the night before, Christmas morning theyd get their gifts from me, I didnt wrap them, just put a big towel or sheet over them, they were about 6 & 4. I'd always make a point of buying them each at least (besides the other gifts) 1 special irritating gift to take home with them to their mother. (they took em all home but even if they wanted to leave some at my house, these went). I'd get them stuff like drum sets, etc. Once they left, I'd find whatever bar was open or whatever & that was pretty much my Christmas.
Well now my new pre wife is living with me, and my kids & her baby are there. She had always, always been used to actually celebrating Christmass, like a tree & a turkey & all that stuff. Somehow she must have thought that thats what all normal people did at the time, & we were just in the early honey moon stages & she had probably been afraid to bring anything up prior to Christmas. She was like 23& i was like 37.
So here we are on Christmas day , with all the kids & finally she asks me what are we doing for Christmas dinner or whatever. I hadnt even thought about it. So i said what do u mean, & she said, well people have turkey & stuff & i said ok , well i'll go get a turkey. by now it was probably about 1 or 2 o'clock & she said, well i dont think stores are open & even if they were, u have to cook the turkey (i had thought they take maybe an hour or so to cook, but found from her that wasnt the case). So I, who knew all, said, dont worry, the stores are open & ill buy a cooked turkey. Well back in those days in buffalo, there were no stores open except those little corner ones, so my next plan was to order a pizza, but there were no pizza places open, so finally i went to those overpriced corner stores & spent about 30 bucks on frozen pizzas & that was a first Christmas together. Since then, she's taken over the coordination of the holiday. I can't understand why.

When I was a little kid, I hated pea's. Could NOT stand em. And one Chritmas (I was maybe 6) I came downstairs and all my presents were..peas'. My family had hid my real presents but everthing I opened were canned pea's, Frozen pea's, Fresh pea's. It was like Pea's city.
Browndog that was so funny about the frozen pizza's for the in laws. I wish I could see the look on their faces. LOL.
I don't know what was the worst present I ever got, I like everything. Because if I get something I don't want I save it and give it away the next Christmas. LOL. I just hope I don't give it back to the person who gave it to me.
Love,
Liz

Cha-cha-cha-chia
Browndog.......love that story, glad your wife is now doing all Christmas preparations..... I am sure you have more funny stories about the holidays!What up guys with food as strange presents...........PEAS Danny.....lol The lentile thing I heard of........but no I don't know of anyone who came onto money eating them on New Years! Liz.....like your idea about what to do with the presents........John what kind of chia did you get?
that's an easy one. My dad gets nice gifts for all my siblings and i get a 20 dollar bill in a meaningless card. They say it's not the gift, it's the thought. So every year I get a reminder that i'm not worth the thought....thanks dad. I would rather have nothing it would hurt less. god bless my mother if it werent' for her I would not even have a xmas. Maybe i can make some friends on here????and things will get better??? wonder if anyone lives near me................
Hopefully, John got the Chia head....
Ok, another BAD Christmas gift story. I'm what you would call an artist. I do a lot of portraits, landscapes and stuff. And my brother "fancies" himself as an artist. He stuff is really bad. I mean, REALLY bad. IMHO, my is really good. People have a hard time believing I actually did it. However he is much more active in it than I am. When someone wants a picture of their kid or house or dog or whatever, I just simple do it and it comes out nice. But anyway, my Mom finds all these drawings in her house one day. Like 20. Since my brother is so active in it, my Mom assumes he did them. He could never draw or paint that well. But she wraps them up as some "sentimental" gift, puts them in a portfolio and gives him to them for Christmas. They were my paintings and drawings from college. He went NUTS. He was so pissed. I had to run from the room laughing. He went crazy! I felt bad for him.

I used to get my dad "Old Spice" and a tie, every year....
My husband and I are starting a new tradition that I thought I'd share... Since the majority of our money for presents now goes to the little one, we were trying to think of creative ways to get each other gifts w/o spending a lot of money. I had two ideas:
1) Have a theme Christmas - each year we pick a theme, like a country (ex: Italy) or a movie theme or tv show or something like that and then find one original gift that has something to do w/that theme (say, if we pick France, we can pick up French perfume or chocolates and if we pick the tv show "Sopranos" then we can buy wine or make a pasta basket or give a book on the mob)
2) Pick a movie title every year and then pick a dirty gift that coordinates with that movie title... If you pick "Titanic" or "A Few Good Men", then you have to pick up a naughty little gift that somehow coordinates with the title of that particular movie. It's great because after 8 yrs, we're always trying to get creative.... For something like "Steel Magnolias," you can get something from Victoria's Secret that has flowers on them... things like that
