She once made several outfits for myself and my cousins mainly out of curtain fabrics. She carefully measured each of us in all the appropriate places before deciding how long she thought we should have our skirts and tops and jackets etc. Unfortunately she decided mini skirts were the fashion and made the three of us matching outfits in skirts that barely covered our backsides and were too tight as she had forgotten to add seam allowances in her measurements and the shirts she made were supposed to be a wrapped style but she hadn't allowed for the opening that would create over our chests. Needless to say none of us were able to wear our own clothing and i was the lucky one of the three being the oldest our items were handed down the line, the smallest sizes were donated under a wishing tree and i was given cash to spend on something of my choice. <br />Leimayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18042186263254321638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-81392535024134788292012-10-18T00:28:36.668+11:002012-10-18T00:28:36.668+11:00On gosh...

We have an aunt renowned for - well, let's just say "story-worthy" gifts - who sent him a card in the mail to say his present was on the way. He was excited a few days later when he received an express post satchel containing - another card? That's all he got, but I got the best laugh I'd had in a while!sayanythinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140634953951608862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-75038091841475242042012-10-17T18:43:38.241+11:002012-10-17T18:43:38.241+11:00OMG!!!

The coal was neatly packaged with care and included a hand written original poem lamenting how naughty he had been and so all he deserved for Christmas was coal. We spent many months guessing who had placed the coal on our porch. My husband did not find out until his birthday in May that is was one of our good friends playing a trick on him. We still laugh anytime someone says he should get coal in his stocking and the politely tell them that yes we know been there done that LOL.Breanna S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04550787536612465947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-14330678437916418622012-10-15T23:59:27.512+11:002012-10-15T23:59:27.512+11:00For the first secret santa my family ever did, we ...For the first secret santa my family ever did, we agreed that we would buy each other a luxury item, something that you wouldn't normally buy for yourself.

We were not well off so he used to go out and catch rabbits for meat, unfortunately he did not know how to skin it properly and he just cooked it over the coal fire, it always stunk, The Birthday gift part was a foot. He turned it into a key ring and told me it would give me good luck, This is a case of the thought was much nicer than the gift.Sue Nivenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241725404968592566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-29333175252075502602012-10-15T14:26:56.815+11:002012-10-15T14:26:56.815+11:00And that fabric is sooo cute!And that fabric is sooo cute!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961950617942632781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-43623095931150949802012-10-15T14:15:08.078+11:002012-10-15T14:15:08.078+11:00And that fabric is sooo cute!And that fabric is sooo cute!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961950617942632781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-63118649903432998842012-10-15T14:11:31.438+11:002012-10-15T14:11:31.438+11:00My husband comes from a country that doesn't d...My husband comes from a country that doesn't do Christmas and a family that doesn't do gifts so for many years I didn't get anything and that was okay. But one December I spotted a very nice silver shovel in the hardware shop window. Ha! Practical yet pretty and just what I wanted, and only 25.00. So that year I requested a present. It was so easy, the shop was on his way to and from work. <br /><br />But what did I get? A green garden fork! And he paid 75.00 for it! Later while we watched TV an ad came on for garden forks selling for 7.95. We laughed pretty hard. And then it was stolen from the garden anyway :)<br /><br />These days we just buy something we want together at Christmas time.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961950617942632781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-34404845960014692662012-10-14T17:25:53.356+11:002012-10-14T17:25:53.356+11:00Creo que el peor regalo fue de mi madre,me regalo ...Creo que el peor regalo fue de mi madre,me regalo unos elásticos para enganchar las sabanas al colchón.Te sigo por correo electrónico.Cariños.Susanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10776752559534891800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-783913538658237062012-10-13T11:25:04.426+11:002012-10-13T11:25:04.426+11:00I follow through google reader.

To say the least, it has hung in my closet for almost 3 years, unused.Carla Belyeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516022677038477814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-36133182683272668582012-10-12T15:03:30.446+11:002012-10-12T15:03:30.446+11:00I'm a GFC follower :)

When I unwrapped this gift, I had NO idea what to say. I said thank you but there was no false excitement from me as I could not even consider faking how much I just looooooooooooooved this gift. NOPE. Not even a tidbit of that. What was this gift? It was a feather duster. Not a really nice one but one of those crappy, cheap ones with a white plastic handle and turquoise fake feathers. It was horrible. WHAT was I supposed to do with that? WHO uses one of those anyway? You wave it in the air and feather bits and pieces flew off of it.

First, my grandmother, trying to give me a sexy gift, accidentally bought me a rather large pair of control top panties. Then, my mother in law decided to give me an entire bathroom set. Not the one I registered for.. In response to the beautiful lavender and chocolate themed set I registered for she said, "women tend to make the bathroom too feminine. I prefer to use the registry as a guideline and get what I think you really need." She had given me the most masculine, chunky, and ugly brown and black set I'd ever seen! The best part? When I tried to return the set, the store clerk said each piece only rang up at 1 penny each, and they hadn't carried it in three years!

They always got those pens, pencils, cups, etc. that had the kids' names on them. The other kids in our family all have normal names (Ben, Matt, Heidi, Dennis, Bridget) but my name is spelled Meighen. So every time they would get those for the other kids, they thought they had to get them for me too so I wouldn't feel left out, but never once was my name spelled correctly. I always got 'Megan' pens, pencils, cups, etc. To this day, only two people on that side of the family ACTUALLY know how to spell my name.

One year, one of my brothers thought that he would be very creative in shop class. Christmas morning came and when we all were handed identical square packages, including mom, we all exchanged looks, wondering who would open first. As we opened, we were surprised to find we each had received a block of wood with different patterns of holes cut into it. My brother said they could be a door stop, a paper weight, a book end...whatever we wanted it to be and that was what was so great about them. Mom got a smiley face on her block. Mine resembled a slice of swiss cheese. One of my brothers got one with a hole right in the middle. I still have that block of wood and still think about it from time to time because it was the year we all got original blocks of wood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-59103506400150640022012-10-12T00:26:54.652+11:002012-10-12T00:26:54.652+11:00Worst Christmas gift?
