Zathras Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Yeah, I am more into giving gifts than getting them anyway, and if I want something I am a grown man and can go out and buy it. So, it's not like I was disappointed or anything. I love the person who gave them to me dearly but I just thought it was hysterical I got long johns for Christman when I live in Phoenix.

Destiny Skywalker Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Do you know what has actually been the best gift so far? My dad has been here almost a week and not a single comment about The Gays or The Transgendered. It's a Christmas Miracle and I am so glad for it. ... I'm wondering if he said shit in the wrong place back home and got told off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Spam Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I have a hickory walking stick I bought at a gas station that I love. The ability to securely know I can wack someone with it makes it like a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 I didn't give or receive gifts this year but a friend bought me some Christmas ornaments that I don't like at all. I don't know what to do with them because she comes over and helped me decorate this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Get rid of them and if she asks, you must've misplaced them, God knows what box they might be in. But if you'll find them, you'll put them up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I am curious, how ugly are these ornaments, Tami? I have some my sister chose I hate but they go up because Tina picked them but I don't do the whole set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you loved them so much you were using them as a sex toy and they broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The thing with getting a gift is once it’s been given to you, it’s yours to do with as you please. It’s not up to the giver. If they have a problem with what you do with it, it’s their problem. I know in reality it can be more complicated than that, but it doesn’t have to be.

They'll only be up for the Christmas season, anyway, then you can put them in a box and forget about them. I'm thinking if you "lost" them, she'd only give you more as replacements.

monkeygirl Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 She would. She works at Lowe's, where she bought them. Unfortunately, they're rather big and there are 43 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're big and most are just plain ornaments...there are some large mittens involved. They just clash with everything else I have and my ornaments have been carefully selected over my life-even my 'filler' ornaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I know that set! I thought about it for a tree I was doing in my complex because they're plastic but it was MEH. I took down Christmas last weekend and cleaned house GOOD. The cats miss the tree. Especially Pot as I took his tree away he sleeps under but I feel less cluttered already. It was starting to take over everything with gift boxes, ribbon and paper everywhere and now I'm thinking about cleaning out the fridge when I get home of left over pie and food I haven't touched in a week.

Destiny Skywalker Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I miss Christmas lights and trees. Not that I have room for that damn tree year round. Really I just like lights lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Big same! I'm happy there's a handful of houses around me that still have their lights up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 My father in law and I started taking nightly walks soon after Christmas. It was so nice walking around and seeing all the lights up. It has gotten so much darker I’m the neighborhood now that most of the lights are being shutoff (even if they are still up). Some of my neighbors put up the permanent lights this year. Some still have them on in some capacity, which is great, but others have them fully off, which seems like it really misses the point. Meanwhile, we got some LED bulbs to replace our old outdoor lights that allow us to change their colors (and even allow them to alternate colors). This is the ideal option to me since they are cheap, we’re easy to put in, and allow us to decorate the house for all sorts of holidays and events. A few of our neighbors have them, too.

Destiny Skywalker Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We have something like that as well. I need to figure out new color theme for January. Blue? Purple? Maybe both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen123 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Ours are purple right now. One of our neighbors has his set to blue. I haven’t figured out anything better yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
