Running Some Holiday Gift Ideas Through My Head

As much as I am against it...I suppose the holidays will arrive on time again this year. I always get stumped for good gifts. There's a shocker huh? I figure if I start thinking now, then when I actually go shopping the afternoon of December 24th I'll have some direction.

Let's see, my two youngest daughters. What would a 16 and 15 year old girl want for Christmas? Hmm. I know...storm windows. I know when I was a and somebody gave you a storm window you were damn glad to get it! Oh, speaking of Halloween...I came up with a real clever approach this year. Instead of giving the usual fried egg and spoonful of Bush's Baked Beans, I got clever. Remember my move recently? Moving always involves hoards of boxes and then you have to get rid of those suckers. Heh heh...get a Sharpie and mark a BIG X across the front of each one and tape it shut. When the show up, ask them which they prefer...a fried egg or an X Box. The were so happy and no more boxes! I love giving thoughtful gifts.

Oh yeah, holidays. My oldest , -in-law, and grand ...I know...storm windows. Nah, they'd just end up talking to my other two and somebody would get miffed. I need to get original yet useful here. Got it! An oil filter. No...a case of oil filters! After all, there's 3 of them.

Now for roomie...hmm, can't mess this one up. Wait a minute, I should get her something not as thoughtful as everyone else. She has been neglecting my feelings lately. Give you a prime example. Today I get home and discover she threw out my favorite turnip without asking me about it. Granted that sucker has been on the counter for 2 weeks, but still. Aged turnips might be good. Could have asked I think.

A gift...I'm going to have to mull this one around a bit.

I had a turnip turn up near here. Musta fell off the turnip truck on the turnpike. It had turned though, and was rotten to the core.

Turn on!

You know, there isn't a woman in the world who doesn't appreciate a case of AA batteries as a gift.

Something tells me they're going to be the perfect gift this year.

Brilliant!

I say turnips all around.
Just make sure you get everyone the exact same size turnip.
Holiday squabbling can so easily get out of hand.

No storm windows.
Nothing quells the Holiday Spirit more than a defenestration, accidental or not.

Do what I do T. ie. Beg grovel, cower under ))))Skye the firsts))))))
whithering stare, and then in my best squeaky voice I simply apologize for all of the things that I might do in the next twelve months. It's the gift that keeps on giving, and giving, and giving.

As always

Tall, I figure you have some of those 'Beer-Brellas' left over .... since you never sent out the 'Budweiser-Brella' I ordered several months ago. Give each of your daughters and your roomie several of these. I trust you know their favorite beers?!
