Best/worst Christmas present?

Post by n5wd »

Both my son and daughter-in-law are paramedics (runs in the family, I guess) and are both working shifts on Christmas morning ( been there and done that sooo many times!) so we had Christmas morning on Christmas Eve. Best present? I nominate the Kimberly Pepperblaster II given to my D-I-L (by yours truly) ;-). The best-worst present? The 365-day "People of WalMart" desk calendar I got from them! Hmmmmmm. :evil2:

Merry Christmas y'all!

Worst? A donation in my name to UNICEF when I was a kid.

Best? The absolutely beautiful 1943 vintage Inland Carbine my son gave me for Christmas last year.

Worst... dunno. I've had disappointments but I don't think I've gotten anything truly bad.

Best one this year was a tub of homemade Christmas cookies from my mom.. sometimes it's the little things :cheers2:

Man, I thought underwear was bad... "rlol"

I hate it when people use Christmas as "lesson time".
