The next year my siblings joined me and they were stunned. I guess they thought I'd made it up the year before. After that I didn't really care what she did over the holidays, but it wasn't going to involve me being at her house.
What? Why?

Originally posted by SunburntThe past two years I had friends and relatives over for Christmas Eve, which was nice. This year I'm going to my brother's for Christmas.

Many years passed since then, and my mother hasn't seen him in years. No loss.

Sounds like a youtube video I wouldn't want to see. 😞
A woman was leaving a convenience store with her
morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession
approaching the nearby cemetery.
A long black hearse was followed by a second long
black hearse about 50 feet behind the
first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary
woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance
back, were about 200 women walking single file.
The woman was so curious that she respectfully
approached the woman walking the dog and said,
"I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a
bad time to disturb you, but I have never seen a funeral like this.
Whose
funeral is it?"
"My husband's."
"What happened to him?"
The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."
She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?"
The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was
trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.
"Can I borrow the dog?"
"Get in line."
Originally posted by Scotty70i once gave someone a carrot with lego wheels stuck in it, making it look (to my mind) a bit like an F1 racing car. unfortunately i constructed and wrapped it a week b4 Xmas, so by the time it was opened the carrot was definitely spongy, and even a bit mouldy from memory. and the wheels had fallen off. the recipient burst into tears. hard to believe almost a year has passed since that terrible morning.
What is the worst Christmas gift you have ever given or recieved? I gave someone a top of the line rubberized pair of potholders because I knew they liked to cook.
Please share.

Another year, I got the 'strap' for burning the brother-in-law's towel 😳
