Brings tears to my eyes…
Ahhh… the warmth of the holiday season. It’s a time for families coming together and showing loved ones how much you care. It’s a time of carefully selected gifts.
Like this list of passive-aggressive gift ideas*.
*sniff* My eyes are all watery just reading. Reminds me of the time my mother in law made (JUST FOR ME!) a fridge magnet. It was from plastic canvas in the shape of a flyswatter, complete with plastic fly.
True story. I even have a picture buried somewhere. Also reminds me the time my brother bought my kids a HUGE gift basket full of CANDY.
Thanks Chris. I haven’t laughed that hard in weeks.
Oh, and for some readers the link above has adult language. Wanda, don’t let Andrew see the list. It’ll just encourage him and give him ideas.

Oh, those are funny.
Ah, it reminds me of the time my mother bought me an absolutely horrific outfit – gold lame oversized sweater and stirrup pants; it looked like a cross between Dolly Parton and a hooker. And she said, as I opened it, “As soon as I saw this, it reminded me of you!”
