And the family tree is up! And as tradition goes, I'm the first one to put some presents underneath..
Go ahead, make my day - by visiting my blog: http://jacobthehobnob.wordpress.com/

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

Talking of accepting anything as a Xmas present - apart from the socks the men always get :p - what has been your worst Xmas present or the one that you feel someone put the least thought into and wish they just hadn't b*ght you anything at all. :X

My sister-in-law once b*ght me Avon perfume although she knew I was an Avon rep!! :roll:

Several years later she b*ght me and my two daughters nightdresses - I had my own shop selling nightwear and lingerie!!! :confused:

Not exactly xmas, but birthday, my worst ever present, given to me by my dad.
Taking in mind that I was 18, sort of a big one.

Screwdriver shaped like a laser gun.

My mother's really good at offering presents that we don't expect. Or don't understand.

She offered me a small, pink, fake crocodile handbag, which I am sure, would have been perfect for an 8 year old girl.
Also farm stickers, and the obvious book 'what happened in the world on our birth day?' (only tragedies, apparently)

She offered me that for my 23rd birthday... :/

If ur talking presents. Me and my two sister are deadly.
One year my middle sister got Jlo low perfume from her friend as a present. She knew she didn't like it so sai to me I could use it. I gave it to our cousin on her birthday ( it still had plastic wrapper on). And when my other sister had her birthday she got the same perfume. Which she gave to another collegue for Christmas.
Me and my sisters have been laughing about it for a few years. If only the others Knew.
Hehe.

My mother-in-law has 4 children and 3 step children.....one year she b*ght all 7 families identical toasters, the next year we all got the same set of saucepans!

.....and on the subject of recycling presents, I do it quite regularly if there is something I don't like I will pass it on to someone else, but I do have a set of make-up bags in the cupboard and I can't remember who gave them to me so I daren't give them to anyone.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!
