Best/worst Christmas present?

Post by katy »

What's everybodys best and/or worst ever Christmas present?

My best was my 36" metal lathe.
My worst was a toilet seat.
Never did figure out the logic behind that one, but I suspect someone was trying to tell me that I was the part that fits the seat.
Talk slow, think fast!

Best present - Seeing my grandson have his first Christmas as I never expected to have a grandson and this Christmas will be my granddaughters first Christmas; so double blessings.
Worst present - I can honestly say that I have never been given a bad Christmas present. What ever I have been given has been gratefully received and dismay at receiving a present that you obviously do not appreciate is like giving the giver a kick in the teeth and as they say 'never look a gift horse in the mouth' - Unless of course you are Trojan!!!!!!!

Haha,it's almost in one piece, just waiting for paint-I just need an afternoon to finish it off, which isn't going to happen anytime soon! Oh, and never use superglue on the small fiddly bits,they really do stick to you like glue..... :lol:

Yes, I agree, although I think that if I received this it might be a bit of a struggle to look grateful :o

Best- my wife saying 'yes' to my proposal on Christmas morning 19 years ago.

Worst - the girlfriend I had at the time (1990, been with her 4 years) got me a mug...that was it...a mug. 5 days later she told me she was seeing someone else. So I suppose the 'mug' ended up being quite ironic. :roll:
