Ok, here are a few things I would not want to see in my Christmas stocking.

1. Nude pictures of Helen Thomas, Hitlery, or Janet el Reno.
2. Anything Chia
3. That stupid Hitlery book.
4. Anything written by Al Franken.

Does getting your gallbladder removed two days before Christmas count as a Christmas gift?

I don't know if this beats a used snow shovel, but it did make me cry.

A flannel sack with feet, from my husband.. It looked like someone was making clothes for giant weeblewobbles.

I told him I wanted something warm. I was thinking of fur.

I was about 13 or 14 years old and had been skateboarding and surfing for a few years (read: cool guy) when we went to visit our aunt and uncle we hadn't seen for a few years.

For some reason or other, they didn't believe my brother and I had aged and gave us both Winnie the Pooh printed sheets and pillow cases. We smiled and said, Thank You.

I have a sister in law who has given been some of the worst junk, paper mache wise men (badly made), teapots with parts of other teapots stuck to them. Pure crap that should have been thrown away at the factory instead of sold in the first place. I am embarassed to think she wasted her money on it, even if it cost $.50.But I never sunk to her level, I always gave a nice gift. Finaly this year, she sent a nice floral centerpiece for the table. I don't know what has come over her.
