We are doing one over at the Kitchen Table

Marie, you're so funny!!!! "HIDIOUS cream colored sweater from husband that is WAYYYY to small and looks like something Grandma wore! " TeeHee!! I'm laughing because that's what I WANTED for Christmas!! A Mr Rogers Sweater!!! LOL I love my sweaters, wear 'em all the time! Get teased constantly by my kiddos..."mom, geeze...you dress like you're from the 30's!!" Well, gosh son...it's comfortable!! LOL :O) I asked hubby if he was embarassed to be seen with me in public..and he says.."not if you don't mind me wearing my sweats (they're YEARS old & a size 3x..on a size M guy!!!) and baha!!!! " UGH! He got me!! :O) Okay, and the bug sucker is hilarious, too!! *giggling madly* Wow, Can you IMAGINE what thoughts must have prompted THAT gift?? LOL What woman WOULDN'T want a bug sucker vacuum?? :O) I'm sure his heart was in the right place.....maybe....! LOL Hmmm....well, I didn't get anything for Christmas this year (I was bad, I guess!), so I don't have anything funny to add. But I'm really boring, and all I really was hinting & hoping for is a new cookware set. Maybe next year?? :O) Well, you girls have fun!!! I will lurk around the posts and see what everyone got for Xmas!! (and spit my coffee on my keyboard from laughing so hard!) :O) Melissa

Thank you all so much. Re the "packaged" picture frame. I got the idea from an office decorating contest we had at work. The contest was not so much the quality of the decorating, but which one looked the most "Christmasy". The winners had decorated every single item in their office, including stuff on the walls. They covered the art work with gift wrap and bow, and that was my inspiration. (mine is actually a picture of some lilies). luvs, re the opened package, LOL! The gift was from a friend who wanted to see me open it!

oh my bestyears, I can't believe how calm your (very attractive) children look next to the maniacal looking cat. I'm afraid of being scratched just looking at that picture. Thank you to everyone for sharing your cards, there are so many wonderful photos of kids & animals. I probably mentioned this before but my sister received a photo card from her friends, just the adults and not the kids or pets. They wrote something clever about how everybody has cute kids and pets but how are the adults holding up? It was funny and pretty bold, since after a certain age many of us aren't willing to share photos of greying, aging selves with old high school friends.
