Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) 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". Edited December 8, 2016 by Alpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 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.................

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 A frat brother gave me a toilet seat painted in Christmas motif. I passed it along the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
