My First Blog Contest....Tell Me....

Now that Christmas is over, and everyone has gotten (and opened) all their presents, I would like to know what was the worst gift you received? I tried to do this the week before Christmas, but I only got a couple of responses, so I just kind of let it sit. You can check out that post, my SIL's previous horrible gift to us & the comments here.

I will tell you mine...my SIL wrapped up (bagged up, actually) 2 cans of Rosarita Pinto beans, 3 packages of chicken flavored Top Ramen, 2 bags of Goldfish crackers, 2 boxes of strawberry Jello, two packages of Hunt's pudding cups & gave it to my Husband and I as a Christmas gift. The only saving grace from that "present" is that she included a gift certificate to Stater Bros. Grocery store for $25. That alone would have been a fine "family" gift, but she had to go and get "creative" or mean, depending on how you look at it, and give us "food" that really isn't appropriate for my family.

My Hubs (her baby brother) has high cholesterol and can't have things with high salt & cholesterol content. You would think she would know this, being that she has more medical knowledge than I do, being the receptionist in a medical office and all (I am being fecitious, she has had NO schooling at all, not even as a medical assistant), and I am just a lowly Psych Nurse.

So come on, get to commenting (entering my first ever blog contest) & tell me all about it. And remember, it can be from any Christmas, birthday, anniversary, etc.. I just want to know who got the worst gift. I will post the winner's response on Sunday, January 5, 2009 & reveal the prize that he/she won.

Please note: All entries from the previous attempt at this contest are still eligible for this new incarnation of said contest. So, Abi, your 10 sizes too big knickers from your aunt are still a contender for the winning entry.

Happy New Year!!
