Holidays Gifts

My Mom raised me the best she could and I love her. Every year I carefully explain that we do not need any Christmas gifts. However my Mom feels compelled to get us something. Last night Chula wanted to open presents so she started with my Mom's. She started laughing and asked "Guess what is in here?" Quickly followed by "Never mind you will never guess." She was right.This year we got:
  1. Pink toothbrush - always useful and standard mom gift and I like pink. However, there was only one for us so I guess we are sharing.
  2. Green cookie decorating gel - I typically never put gel on my cookies but St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner.
  3. Small bottle of GreatValue grape juice - I like grape juice but typically never buy it, nice gift. We each get 5 ounces.
  4. Curious Kittens 2011 Calender - I have a cat. Who does not like a calender with a new kitten every month?
  5. Nov/Dec 2010 Issue of History, The official magazine of the History Channel. - This was clearly swiped from a waiting room. What do I do with stolen property from my Mom?

Now as a proper son I will write a thank you note. It will start with. "Thank you for all the wonderful gifts but you really shouldn't have....."

"Mom, you shouldn't have..... really!"

My initial comment was that I was amazed that you could guess the gift before opening. I couldn't believe that and upon a double check, I was was right (or should I say wrong).

There's your upside. "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get."
