Edit- Poll Option 7 should be 'coloring' pages and Option 10 is the 'squatting' gnome..

WOW, that was a funny list. What gives? Is the gifter 'out of it', a prankster or just doesn't care.

I was going to go for the Sinu- pot but went with 8-track instead because the decade spread is just too funny.

BTW, I would LOVE to see the carved rooster with a pull out tummy pouch if you can post it... the thing sounds divine!

LuvOrlando, for context and enlightening narratives, please click on the thread links in the original post. Jeafl describes her mother-in-law and how she is gift-giving-challenged. She posts about what her family receives from her MIL every year and it is a beloved DIS Holiday tradition. Pictures are rare.

Gosh, they're all so funny it was hard to choose. The cookie monster sweater is SO funny, but I finally had to go with the Bible coloring sheets on a big roll. The visual of a group of teenaged boys rolling out a sheet of Bible scenes to color is just... well...

Not that teen boys can't be interested in the Bible, but I know those rolls of coloring sheets from my girls' preschool days, and they just aren't something teens of either gender would want to sit around and color! LOL!!

Hands down the cookie monster sweater. I know someone here has a copy of the picture of that sweater-they HAVE to post it again.

This cracks me up every time I see it!! The thumbs up just make it perfect! Love it!

 

[HelenePA]

[jen0610]

This cracks me up every time I see it!! The thumbs up just make it perfect! Love it!

That is a picture worth a thousand words. And you just know, if we saw the face, it would be one of those big cheesie smiles that show all your teeth.

 

[Jennasis]

The book "We All Die Alone" given to her DH. I laughed for hours over that.

Also, her DD got some sort of bird lamp for her college dorm room.

 

[LuvOrlando]

I just love characters, they make life so much more fun!

 

[SC Minnie]

The cookie monster sweater hands down. When that was first posted and then the pic followed I laughed saw hard I cried. I could just imagine the DS wearing that thing to high school.

 

[Tuffcookie]

I would have voted for the car hammer but since it didn't make the poll list I voted for the bible pictures on the paper towel dispenser!

OMG, thank you for saving the sweater pic, it still kills me every time I see it!!!

Easy-- Meowy Christmas!

Actually, the face wasn't grinning. The jaw on the kid is a kind of clenched smile and he's making a hilarious face. This kid has to be an adult by now. I hope that pic is hi FB profile pic.

 

[Handbag Lady]

Meow-y Christmas wins for me!

 

[dismom2]

The Cookie Monster jacket, of course!! I cannot look at that without cracking up. I have the picture forever engraved in my mind

I sure hope we get a posting this Christmas... I am really looking forward to it!
