Wait... I was unaware that hair grew on the butt. That is so gross! I had to send that picture to my bf- with a note saying if he ever gets that hairy I will shave him in his sleep! Uhhh... I think I'm going to have nightmares of that picture tonight!

My fav gift this Christmas was one that came from a 7 year old little guy from MN whom I call Tiger. Now, Villette knew about this before I did as she was instrumental in making this gift. Okay, give me a second to wipe the happy tears...Tiger's mom contacted Villette to help make pics to put in a frame that would hold several pics. There are pics of me with my parti babies and another taken with my flowers on my 67th birthday. She inserted Tiger's pics in those of me, put Santa hats on and re-sized them so that they could be printed out and cut to fit the mat. The final pic was of my beloved Jesse. That frame with those 5 pics were and are my most treasured posession from all that I got this year..
I am like Tim the Toolman and get tools as Xmas gifts. This year one of my favs is a heavy duty pry bar.. Bright yellow and heavy and I can hardly wait to use it..It will not fit in my toolbox I got 2 years ago but will hang with the 18 volt 5 tool set from last year...Ryobi/Home Depot loves me..

My worst gift- a rice cooker (I don't like rice at all) but it was a "great deal" 75% off.... it was given to me by my ex our first christmas together, the worst part is... he bought if after christmas, he forgot to get me a gift for christmas.

my best- this year it is that my father in law is still with us- the docs didn't think he would be here for christmas.

This is a great thread, lots of laughs.

Each year at my office we have a "White Elephant" gift exchange. People really go all out, finding something strange and obscure from their homes and wrapping it immaculately. Then, we play a game to exchange gifts, and everyone gets really competitive about it-that is until they find out what's actually in their gift box. Here are some of the highlights from over the years:

-This year I got a Pole Dancing "how to" book
-One guy brought in a pillow-from when his wife was SICK in the hospital with a horrible flu
-Toilet paper rolls that had gotten wet when a pipe broke under someone's sink
-An OLD bottle of dried up perfume
-Someone's dad's tighty-whiteys complete with "Skid mark" stains
-A box for a Wells Fargo tacky Christmas ornament-with NO ornament inside
-A realistic looking blue-jay bird figurine that sings "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah"

Those are the most "awesomely bad" gifts I've ever seen!
