And I think you might be on to something about the Chia pets--they're becoming the fruitcake of a whole new generation!<BR/><BR/>Natasha, baby-type presents are okay. But take it from one who's been there: if that is ALL you get, no gifts whatsoever for you as an individual, it kinda pisses you off after a while. Personally I felt like I ceased to exist for my in laws the minute I became pregnant--it was like I was just a vessel to carry the beloved grandson around for 9 months. Annoying as hell.<BR/><BR/>YAY!!! Robyn is back! I was wondering if you might live in that area of the US, and I missed your commenting this week. Thank goodness you're okay!StarvingWriteNowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569580787956358575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31042697.post-4066570882291357742007-12-13T21:57:00.000-05:002007-12-13T21:57:00.000-05:00Sorry I've been away!

Really good entry in Bernita's contest, BTW. I think my worst present, which I received as a 12 year old, from a relative, was a card. That's it. Just a card, no money, no gift certificate, no coupon. And other kids in the room got actual packages.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857307804942257484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31042697.post-55199280695622011642007-12-13T19:40:00.000-05:002007-12-13T19:40:00.000-05:00Oopsy.

Do you ever wonder if they actually made more than 10 that just get passed from one person to the next year after year?<BR/><BR/>I can't think of a worst gift I've ever received, but Mr. Honey and I gave a good one at a white elephant gift exchange a few years ago. <BR/><BR/>It was a 15-year-old pink plaid robe, and the biggest, burliest guy at the party ended up with it. He was a good sport about it, too - he wore it around the bar the rest of the evening.Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363215253102968043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31042697.post-70837125818563256542007-12-13T15:23:00.000-05:002007-12-13T15:23:00.000-05:00And I love Spy's blog.

I'm not sure what my mother was thinking.<BR/><BR/>Loved your list. I came over from Spy Scribbler, since she said she loved your blog.<BR/><BR/>JenJ.K.

And eating. And listening to Christmas music and sleeping in. And eating.<BR/>:-)Chris Eldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794946908789120139noreply@blogger.com
