Word of the Week: Christmas card chicken — When you want to decrease the number of Christmas cards you send out every year, so you decide to send cards only to people who send you one first. However, this can backfire if someone on your potential list is using the same tactics. This results in a standoff and ultimately no card exchange between the two of you. This does help solve the original problem, though.
Yeah…and all that useless junk…people give it to my kids…and it comes to live at my house…
The green pie piece is for my mom and what she buys for my husband and brother in law. They have gotten some pretty interesting things mostly in their stocking.
If you don’t use it or like it you regift it the next year, ha ha. thats why the adults in my family have the grab bag gift exchange, you can always wrap it up reallly pretty, everyone fights to get it and then its so funny when they open it…oh the joy of Christmas!

this year i am giving mostly gifts from the red catagory!!LOLOLOl just kidding! but i know my kids will get some!! whats Christmas without useless gifting??? It helps the goodwill/salvation army stores!
Hey, if you can’t buy useless junk for your friends & loved ones at Xmastime, then when the heck can you?
And Barb’s right—there’s always regifting. You just have to be careful not to accidentally regift back to the original giver of the gift.
P.S. I’ve posted a pattern for a knitted cell phone holder at Must Love Yarn today…& am giving an already-made one away, for those who don’t want to bother trying to knit their own.
If you haven’t already checked it out, please bop over & toss your name in the yarn bag for your chance to win.

Guess who I just discovered lives in the same state as our Heidi? Oh yeah, it’s my boyfriend and he is definitely a gift I would re-gift to myself every day and he’s not useless junk.
and just WHICH boyfriend would this one be???hmm?? you seem to have sooooo freakin many of them!!
And let’s hope he doesn’t HAVE useless junk…
Okay, I’m writing a love scene today and my mind if in da gutter.
Hollie–that would be my #1 boyfriend Bradley. The others are just accessories.
Okay, WHERE IS HE????? Does he *actively* live here or was he just born/raised here?
I shall find him. I shall begin a state-wide manhunt. I shall track him down, wrap him up, & put him under my tree for Xmas. You heard me…MY TREE. Laura, you can have him after; I just want him for a wee bit over the holidays.
Born in Philly, birthday coming up, Irish-Italian, very, very intelligent and MINE!!!!
Although I guess if you “borrow” him until after the holidays I’ll just have to make due with John (who I’m crushing on right now after seeing a pic of him from the season premiere of Psych). *insert smiley emoticon here of a smiley with a tongue rolling out of his mouth*
I don’t think either of my boyfriends have useless junk Maisey.
I have a strict no junk in the bunk policy for my boyfriends.
Those are words to live by, Laura. Makes me feel like such a boring, monogamous type to hear about all your boyfriends, but I seem to keep busy…
Husband keeps trying to get my boyfriends to take me away. I keep trying to get his girlfriends to take him away. Neither of us have been successful. Guess I’ll have to keep him.
Well, I’ve only bought what people have asked for so I guess I’m in the blue area?
Ah yes, I love celebrity “boyfriends”.
C’mon Dee fess up…who’s yours?
Nathan Fillion, Chris Pine, Fabio Cannavaro [very hot but unfortunately married soccer player on the Italian national team....sigh], Brendan Shanahan [now retired hockey player who has a most interesting how I met my wife story], Shea Weber [hockey player]…
that’s all I got for now
LOL. Laura, you just have to put a bag over his head…Not a plastic one!!!
