    Sort of a gag gift from Hubs - I've been talking to him lately about trying to update our bathroom a little and wanted a new toilet paper holder. So he got me a pretty pedestal one with a brushed nickel finish! LOL!

    I got a full size cardboard cutout of **** Yuengling, owner of Yuengling brewery. I don't drink Yuengling. I don't even drink beer. :huh:

    Whoever got you that must have stolen it from a bar. I mean, you can't buy that stuff, can you?

    Those that know me KNOW that I have a very loud voice. In the Army it was called a "command voice." Let's just say that my voice carries, WELL! Someone gave me a bullhorn. A BULLHORN! Granted it was a gag gift, and I do laugh every time I think about it! :laugh:

    Yep, when we go to her place probably. And it's even more weird because I never carry a purse. I just put my license and debit card in my pocket. Now I'll need to find a bunch of stuff to put in it and carry it around.

    Last year my dad and his current wife (#6) gave hubby and I all gifts they had "won" at the casino :grumble: and we promptly sold it all on craigslist. He DID give us gift cards to Menards and kohls last year, so it wasn't too bad. this year, well, they did it AGAIN!!!! Got a cheap hose reel, a chip and dip serving thing, rice cooker, 3 slot lasagna pan ( that fits the noodles perfectly according to the box) plus much more.......... It's almost comical this year, as soon as we got in the car we discussed what needs to go on Craigslist. But the icing on the cake this year was this: he text us a pic of a nice 17 cubic ft upright deep freeze from Lowes. It's nice!!! Or so we thought. THEN he informs us that he went to take a picture because the one he BOUGHT us was at his rental an hour away. And what he got us was GENTLY used from the Habitat for Humanity resale shop! He had to PAINT IT and put on a new handle :noway: :huh:

    Well...my absolutely adorable 7 year old son (who actually usually picks out decent jewelry) got me a necklace and earring set. Rather large hearts that are leopard print. I am going to have to be very strong to push myself to wear them to make him happy. Very strong.

    hmmmmm....was it 3 hearts strung together?...Betsey Johnson?!!!!
    I bought it for my SIL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    Soooo random, I know =)

    On topic...fish shaped house slippers :bigsmile:
    I love 'em!

    Not this year - but last year...

    My aunt (who has given me an ornament every year since I was born) began giving my son an ornament every year. I was thrilled that she would transfer this tradition.... Except, when we opened it there was a little african american baby riding on a swan that said "Baby's First Christmas". Um, well, ok. LOL My son is definitely caucasian, but we don't hate! She said she loved the ornament so much, but "all the little white babies were gone!"

    Seriously, I love it. It was just super strange :ohwell:

    Hahaha! I literally just laughed out loud.

    We have this tradition...and I've never thought of it, but now, I'm pretty sure next year I'm going to get a whacky ornament and just go on about how much I love it.

    Oh wow...that sounds so much like my former in-laws! They always bought my ex and I very random gifts, either from HSN, Cracker Barrel, or Walmart. It was a tradition on Dec. 26 to go and return whatever wasn't purchased from TV to get decent stuff.
