Giving the perfect gift



DUMB but a tradition none the less... We have this really old 70's style Christmas door hanger that the DOG (not even sure which dog now) ate years ago. It is ugly colored and chewed up and can no longer hang on a door. Each year we take this dumb chewed up mess -wrap it in beautiful packaging and watch as the newly elected gift getter unwraps the package- oh and ahhhing the entire time.... and everyone is watching the beautiful gift being unwrapped....carefully laying back the tissue paper and there it is the UGLY gift... (bad scary music plays in the background) when the gift getter lays eyes upon it and starts laughing lots of belly laughing by others occurs at this point along with lots of picture taking. The person feels completely ridiculous.. since all of us but the one who wrapped it (which would have been the one that received it last year) forgot about this DUMB funny tradition... This year my hubby is getting it. He is the one who says don't buy me anything yet, he is the first to want to open a present. I wonder what he will like better - the nose trimmer or the bad ugly chewed door hanger thing! The pictures are from 2006, sorry but they are a little out of order since my mac is being moody... but you get the idea... Merry almost Christmas - Aloha
