The worst Christmas gift!

That is really sad, hollybubbles - was there a limit on how many could attend?

Mine this year from MIL, was wait for it................ a box of hand sanitising wipes, I THINK I managed to thank her properly, can't wait for my birthday as I usually get what I gave her from previous years!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's jingl?wonder if her daughter has seen this thread!

My DH and I received a soft, beautifully wrapped parcel from a dear old friend, addressed to us both. Couldn't guess what it might be - it turned out to be a pashmina! Great fun was had all Christmas when my DS kept asking his dad when he would be wearing it! (It's gone in my present recycle box ready for the next bring and buy sale!)

That's a good point, Grannylin. Where is jingl? We haven't heard much of her of late.

As my birthday is on Boxing Day I sometimes just get one present to cover both birthday and Christmas - it's not fair! Most people get a present for Christmas and another one on their birthday.

For our first Christmas as a married couple, my ex-H gave me a rather scruffy, allegedly antique silver (plated) propelling pencil that didn't work. Still doesn't, though it is now much more antique than it was then. Maybe Ebay...
