Ingrates!


My grandmother, whom I love dearly..is the QUEEN of the WTF gift. She loves getting her grandkids gifts and will always say each year how she can't afford to get anything, but always comes up with something anyway. i always love and cherish her gifts, because I know she is doing it out of pure love and because she wants us to be happy. So when I unwrap a package of satin thongs that would probably reach above my bellybutton, and hear her lovingly say "I heard you like that butt floss" I give her a hug and tell her thank you very much. Or when I open up a taped-up obv regifted sweater box..with a very cute nightgown in it...and pull it out to reveal it has one long sleeve and one short sleeve...I again, give her a big hug and say thank you. it makes us both happy.

DEAR ABBY: Five years ago, when my niece was 9, we came up with the idea of making Christmas cards and sending them out to special friends and family members. We both work hard to make sure each is attractive and in good taste, and we handwrite a personal note inside. We also print on the back that the card was "handmade with love." This has become a tradition for the two of us, and the cards are quite beautiful.

Last year, after we sent them out, I received a card from a friend with a small check inside. The card read, "I'm sending you this check so you can afford to buy 'real cards' next year." I was, to say the least, hurt and offended. I wondered if others felt similarly, so I asked around and was shocked to learn they, too, thought I was "cheap." Although it cost more money and time to create each card, no one appreciated them.

We won't be making the cards this year, but how do I tell my niece why? I don't want her feelings hurt, too. -- BLUE AT CHRISTMAS

DEAR BLUE: Tell your niece what you were told -- and by whom -- so she won't waste any more effort on these rude and unappreciative individuals. Better she hear it from you than one of the recipients.

As to the "friend" who sent the check, I hope you returned it and deleted her from your Christmas card list. What she did was uncalled for.

See, that's a slap in the face to both the lady who wrote the letter and her neice. They spend their precious time doing something special for each and every person they send a card to, and the thanks they get is people think they're "cheap"...


That's sick.

The best and my most favorite cards are the ones my kids made for me with crayons and loose-leaf paper. Any idiot can buy a card. It takes no thought whatsoever.



Real cards... PFFFT. That ##### should be slapped. If someone sent me a check so I could buy "real cards" they'd get their check back, with a "real present" smeared up the middle.

I've had Wickles before, but these were sorta the same, but different. Whereas Wickles are based on bread-and-butter pickles, the ones that I am talking about is based on a super spicy dill pickle. And they come packaged in massive amounts of whole garlic cloves and jalapeno and habanero pepper slices. They are damn hot!

I picked them up at a bar-b-que/smoker competition a few months ago. I need more.

That sounds DELICIOUS!

I have finally reached my goal of NOT exchanging Christmas gifts with anyone. After years of trying to buy a gift for everyone who mattered to me, I've finally convinced them all that I would prefer to share time together or for them to donate to charity or cause they care about. I'm not against gift giving and haven't ruled out doing it again, but for now I'm not obligated to do so. I get more joy giving to a disadvantaged child than to any of my relatives who have everything they need. To my mind, the custom of giving gifts stems from the gold, frankincense, and myrrh brought to the Christ child who had nothing. That's the spirit in which I feel gifts should be given.

I like that :yay:

Frankly, after some of the crappy attitudes on here - this thread and the other one - I'm pretty much over any Christmas spirit I may have had and hope everyone rots in hell. But in a few minutes I will make my Fisher House donation, which will make me feel better because I'll know my gift is going to someone who deserves it and appreciates it.

You shouldn't take the forum so seriously. Ignore it. Go back to your cheery Christmas spirit. We don't want to ruin it for you. Fisher House is another great charity to donate to. I hope you have a merry Christmas holiday. :huggy:

When people get nasty, just start singing Christmas carols in your head. I refuse to let anyone rain on my Christmas parade. :dance:

And :yay: for donating to Fisher House. My brother stayed at the Walter Reed location for awhile and it was great.
