Re: Your WORST present

It would have to be the year I got....NOTHING.

I flew into my Dads on December 23rd and went straight to my Great Grandfather's farm (middle of no where). On Christmas Eve night I learned that the (ex)step witch had sent my presents to Iowa. As bad luck would have it my other family didn't know I was spending that Christmas in Texas. Needless to say I got my presents on New Years Eve but it just wasn't the same.

Daniel, I simply dont like fruitcake...Jesus knows and he accepts me as I am anyway.

...I'd like to hear the giver say: "to h3ll with you".

I would never wish that for anyone!

Are there any christains posted here? Does your reaction fit your beliefs?

I feel after reading your response I should ask you the same thing!

I never said I did not appreciate what people went through to give me a gift. Monetary value is not an issue...it is and has always been the thought that counts.

Does not mean that I have to like Fruitcake.

If Jesus himself gave me Fruitcake...I'd re-gift it....and he would understand. He probably has me down in the books as a "Fruitcake Re-Distributer". wink.gif

Re: Your WORST present

LOL! I'm not one to complain and have never really received anything I couldn't use or didn't like. Andy's relatives will give us all shirts and the same thing year after year, that they get from a thrift store and we wouldn't even wear them they are so horrible, or putpourri which reeks. This year mom is like I'm just sending a card, they don't put thought into their gifts at all. Besides the real meaning of the season is Christ's birth, not what you get for gifts, besides you can't take them with you when you die. But it is fun:)

Re: Your WORST present

When my ex-wife was around 10 years old, she got a notepad from one of her grandmas - only it was a bunch of part sheets of paper with a staple through it. When she was 8 she had received a coloring book from that same grandma ... that had already been colored on about 2/3 of the pages. That grandma was quite miserly (cheap), so the gifts were not unexpected.

My ex wifes aunt who I don't think liked either of us gave us a square copper wire box thing with little trinkets hanging all over it never did find out what we were suppossed to do with it? It looked like some kind of weird art work. We ended up giving it as a gag gift to someone else.

Re: Your WORST present

Don't have anything that really sticks out that I absolutely hated. Don't really like the cheap stuff my sister in law gets from the "mission" but I know it is all that she can afford so I smile and say "thank you" anyway. (the mission is like a second hand shop) I focus more nowadays on watching our 3 girls open their gifts and just lighting up. Don't care that I get much. I have my family and God and that makes every Christmas a good one.

Hope all of you have a safe and Merry Christmas!!
