Once upon a time there was this fella that wanted to buy me some very sexy under clothing for Christmas so that I could wear it for him...the situation with this man would not allow for me to say yes to his request so I very nicely said no. A few days later he had been by my home and left a card for me. In that Christmas card was a gift card from DICK'S for 30.00!!! He then called to find out if indeed I did receive his card and gift. "you bet I did and thank you so much as Dick's is my favorite store!!!!"

Needless to say, this man never knew if he was coming or going with me.

I guess it was a ticket to leave town. I was told to leave and the fellow who gave me the ticket said merry xmas. I was out numbered and I thought about going back and killing him but never did.

Well the strangest would have to be an old smelly tennis shoe. oh and a rock!

Let me explain! My older brother (of six years) used to wrap up things like that for us on christmas. Each box would contain a note letting you know what gift to open next from him, until you would finally open your true gift.

We had alot of laughs and a good time with his little games.

As for real gifts though the strangest was a pair of hot dog skies, as I dont even snow ski.

You are right sweet p, god I remember waking up, we left the window open at night, did not make a big differance. no heat at night. Heat came on about 45 min from the get up time. It was great under the blanket though I gusees it depended on who was there with you. come to think of it there were some great giofts under the blankets now and agian.

A flash of Christmas past...yikes!

When I was married - my husbands mom sent me a gift...I opened it and guess what it was? A set of those pot holders that we make as kids. I was stunned...didn't know if she was for real. Come to find out, she was at a garage sale and picked them up for me. Hmmm...suppose this runs in the family? I think I gave my ex those pot holders.

Gotta find the humor in life...what else is there?

I'm thinking that I may give my friends an empty box all wrapped up nice and pretty. It will be a box of nothing that really is a box of everything! 😉
