worst well-intentioned X-mas gift..

[chopchop 0]

so.. we all have grammas and friends that don't know us all that well.. and we all have gotten some gifts where we had to thank the person and try to be sincere for the new holiday sweater with little thingees hanging on it.. or the hand-crocheted scarf that is way bigger at one end than the other.. To avoid making the same mistakes to others, can you tell plaything and I what you don't like gtting for X-mas?

I, for one, am sick of getting WI cheese from back home.. I live in CA for Chrissakes.. what do I want that crappy WI cheese for?

gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking..

My dad goes to craft fairs a lot. One year he got me a 3 ft windsock designed like a carrot. Orange with green stuff on the big end. Yep, I didn't have one of those.

My mom got me a stein for Christmas because she figured she was gonna get me some piece of crap I didn't need or want, so she might as well get something cool.

Anybody want a stein? Pointed lid, Dutch farmland or boating scene in relief.

Oh, and can anybody explain to me why a cup for holding beer needs a hat? WTF?!

P.S.: I love my ma.

For me it's wine openers. You'd think people would figure out that after 12 years of being in the wine business I might already have a freakin corkscrew.

Because of the bubonic plague and several invasions of flies throughout Europe shortly thereafter.

Germany established several laws in the early 16th century requiring that all food and beverage containers be covered to protect their contents.

By combining a lid, hinge, and thumblift, these 'German' containers could easily be opened and closed with one hand.

The origins of steins date back to the 14th century.



I hate getting socks for x-mas

Yeah, I'll have to go with the Christmas themed sweaters and whatnot. Who wears Christmas themed sweaters after the holidays? Also Christmas music because by the time Christmas is done, I've heard enough Christmas music to last me until the next year.

Penguins......I went to sea world in high school and mentioned to my mom how cool I thought penguins were and how it looked like they were flying under water.

For the next several years, I got penguin everything. I finally said, "Look, I don't like stuffed penguins. I don't like penguin statues. I don't like penguin mugs, glasses, sheets, tshirts. If you want to get me a real penguin, fine, otherwise, it's enough."

When I was first married (now divorced .. whew!) … a BLINDING HOT BRIGHT PINK pillow with our names in embroidery from my well meaning mother in law. She also covered every surface in my house with hand made doilies during her stay. Every day I would come home and find I had lost even more territory to white lace and crochet. Every table got covered, every cookie tin and canister got a little cover, I got a toilet paper hat for the spare roll of toilet paper ….

Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

One by one the penguins steal my sanity.

Roy, I have to admit to giving a really bad gift.

When I was a new-penny cop I thought that guns were really cool. Such a dork, I bought my wife a nice Colt .380 for Christmas for her self-protection.

Ugh. How stupid.

It's not what you would like, but what THEY would like.

Lesson learned.

Last year, I bought my wife a laptop from DELL. And she got PISSED! I dont know why with herr going back to school and all, so now i take it on the road with me.

Stickers in general kinda suck (except those USPA stickers, those are cool, they're allowed)

someone did buy me a shirt, however, that says /(bb|[^b]{2})/ and I do wear it...

So maybe my mom was trying to make a statement about the cleanliness of my house...
