Ok, the holidays are NOT about the gifts, it's the thought that counts . . . yada yada. But you gotta admit, sometimes you unwrap that one gift and think what the heck was this person thinking to give this to you? This year, I'd have to say my worst gift was a bathrobe/slipper set from my mother in law. What's so bad about that? It's a one size fits all, so the robe and the slippers are way too big for a petite person like me. Plus, she already gave the same gift to me 5 years ago! Oy! I don't even use bathrobes!!! I know I sound like an ingrate.

So what was your worst gift this year?

I say regift it to your mother in law for Mother's Day - ha ha! Oh brother - you would think she would know by now, after 10 years . . . ugh, sounds like something my mother in law would do! Some people just don't "get it". My mother in law is horrible at shopping for gifts, though she likes to shop. I'd rather her NOT buy any of us gifts - really, her stuff just goes in a pile of useless things we have in this place. I think sometimes we have to be upfront and tell them like it is . . . some hints just aren't big enough. I just know sooner or later my mother in law is going to ask me when my birthday is AGAIN (she only asks me several times a year) . . . after 20 some years of knowing her, she still never remembers . . . and never remembers ON my birthday!

I didn't receive many gifts this year as we all decided to pare down our Christmas to save money. That said, I think that the worst gift that I received was from my sister-in-law. She gave me a basket filled with mostly things for the kitchen, but also some random things mixed in as well. There were two bread pans, some stainless steel cooking utensils, a movie that I've never heard of and a chocolate bar. All of this in a basket that a college student would use to tote their things to and from the community bathroom. I appreciate the things that I know I would use but I am still trying to figure out the movies and the college dormitory basket. I live in my own home and don't need a basket to tote things to my own bathroom and as far as the movie goes, I outgrew teenage comedy when I outgrew my teenage years.

Oy! I remember you said you got the bread pans, which is what you've been wanting . . . yah, but what's up with the other stuff. To me, the cool thing is she even got you something! I've known my sister in law for well over 20 years now and I can only remember ONE time that she's ever given me a Christmas gift - even though I've gotten her a gift each and every year. And it was an obvious regifted gift at that!! It was some sensual, massage "kit" for couples -- weird gift to give to a sister in law. It looked like it was supposed to be shrink wrapped (which was off) - and opened. Aren't in law gifts sometimes "priceless"? doh
