Monday's MeMe - The worst Christmas gifts ever!

Every Monday I like to do a MeMe. The purpose is to just have lots of fun with it and learn some interesting things about me and others.

This weeks MeMe is the Top 5 Worst Christmas presents...

I must say though, it isn't often that I have a bad Christmas present. I am pretty easy to please. And, as always, it is the thought that counts.

5. undies. I really like to buy my own underwear... though, I have been known to give my kids undies for Christmas from me. (That just makes Santa look that much better!)

4. a birthday gift wrapped in Christmas paper. This doesn't happen to me... as my birthday is in January. But, I see this with my daughter who has a birthday on Christmas eve. I feel so bad for her (& everyone) that has a birthday around Christmas and her birthday gets bypassed b/c its Christmas!

3. homework. We had teachers that *kindly* gave us our upcoming projects early so we could get started over the holiday break! GEEEE.. Thanks!

2. work. Who wants to work over the holidays? Ok. I know this isn't a really a gift... but my kids love it when I am off for the holidays! Many times nurses don't get to have holidays off and it is like having a real present when I am off for Christmas!

1. when I get NOTHING from my hubby!. Yep... that is right! One year, my hubby didn't buy me one thing! It was Christmas of 2006, the twins were 10days away from arrival. Jason hadn't been working as much extra (and he had even gotten called away from work that I was in labor a couple of times). We had talked about not getting each other anything for Christmas. I had agreed to this, but thought he would at least surprise me with some little token for me to unwrap! NOPE! I was so disappointed! Nothing like NO PRESENT, to really be the WORST PRESENT!!

I will say, I didn't get mad, just disappointed. Needless to say, he has now learned that even if I say "I don't want anything... he will still get me something!"


Ok, as you can see... I had lots of fun with this and even though not many were actual presents... they are all things that do impact my Christmas!
I hope that all of you will play along and list what your WORST Christmas presents are!

I would have killed Charlie if there were no gifts from him! I'm sure Jason learned a very important lesson!
I'm playing along this week.

My hubby is known to do the same thing. He just doesn't know what to buy. So I have to tell him or he will either get something I don't like or nothing at all.

I am joining in with yall.
