What do would you really rather not see "under the tree" or in your stocking?
Something that I gave the person the year before, LOL, it's never happened but that would be the worst. I really do appreciate the thought when it comes to gifts and when there has been no thought to it, it kind of leaves me cold. Like one year a very close friend gave me something that she had tried to sell me only a few months before (because she wanted to get rid of it) and I said then that I didn't like it. You can imagine how I felt when I opened her gift to find that there...I didn't know what to say.
Extra Credit Question:
The "Ten Lords a Leaping" will be leaping over to you home today, what will you put them to work doing ?
I'll tell them they should have been here a week ago when I was putting together my new office furniture on my own. It was incredibly heavy and took half the day...I can't think of anything I need them to do now. Somehow I think Lords leaping all over the place might be more of a hindrance than a help.

Bonus Question:
I know that it is the "thought that counts" but !! and it's "be honest time"
What do would you really rather not see "under the tree" or in your stocking? Would rather not see a lump of coal in my stocking. Also, I always seem to get clothes that either I would never wear or do not fit. If you want to get me clothes then give me a gift card and let me buy clothes I will wear.

The rest of you best hurry up with whatever you are going to have the "Ten Lords a Leaping" do for you. I called Fred and he is having his buddy the "Beer and Snack Food Buying Fairy" bring over a bunch of beer. The "Ten Lords a Leaping", Fred, the "Beer and Snack Food Buying Fairy" and myself are going to watch football and drink lots of beer tonight.

OK, ladies, it's time to track down Alaskan Mutt and put an end to his constant side tracking our fairies (he can keep Fred). A.M. - you just crossed the line.
