Weird Christmas gifts...

[Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967]

So tomorrow some ladies in the office are hosting an annual "rummage sale" holiday fundraiser.

 

Well... I was peeking at some of their "wares," and Lo, there it was ~ the moose in a rocking chair. When you pinch it, the danged thing rocks and sings "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" as it's nostrils light up.

 

Oh my!

 

And of course, this brings to mind some bizarre gifts I've received in the past... like the Billy Bass (former mother-in-law), and the talking duck (NO idea who gave that thing to me), and more...

 

Anyone care to share tales of odd Holiday gifts of Christmas past...?

 

And O Lordy, I pray I don't get a singing moose!

I got a sleeping Santa in a rocking chair. As he snores, the chair rocks harder until he ALMOST goes over backwards, his breath catches, he snorts, the chair goes forward and he starts the snoring/rocking cycle again.

 

 

 

Got a sleeping Santa in a bed, and as he snored the blanket fluttered from his exhales.

 

 

 

Got one one year and the other the next, and don't recall which was first. I assume it was a case of "GOT TO get him a Christmas present".

The strangest thing I can think of is the Christmas after Uno and I got married we were given a rather large coconut tiki doll. We were told it had been left as a wedding present but we somehow overlooked it. {It was so big and ugly I don't know how we could have....} When I turned it upside down, I noticed it had a cork in the bottom. When I removed said cork, a sum of cash came out. Someone even threw in their pocket change.

 

Uno will have to tell you the story behind the Richard Nixon shower head.................

A frat brother gave me a toilet seat painted in Christmas motif.

 

I passed it along the following year.

OK you guys. Here's a picture of one. Uno will have to tell you why his family passed it around for several years as it happened way before "our" time.
