Today I'm going to put your journal entry on the blog. This is going to be a fun journal, so don't be afraid to share.
Blog Journal #1
What was the WORST Christmas gift you ever received? How did you respond to this gift? Did you later re-gift it?
My response: The worst Christmas gift I ever received was this cutesy country rooster/hen wall plaque with matching kitchen accessories (towel, washcloth, salt and pepper shakers). Anyone who knows me knows that country rooster/hen is NOT my style. I tried to act all happy and grateful, but instead I was thinking, "Yuck!" I have a friend, however, who loves that *junk.* So, on her birthday, she got a cutesy country rooster/hen wall plaque with matching kitchen accessories. She loved it and put it right up. Every time I go to her home, there it is.

I don't think I can think of a "worst" Christmas gift. When I was younger I remember getting things from grandparents that weren't really toys. They were for memories,(ornaments ect.) not for fun. Now, I still have them, and love them, but when I was little all I wanted were toys. So, I have never had a horrible gift, but I have had a few that I didn't appreciate at the time because I was too young to care about something I couldn't play with.

One year my grandma gave me two whole dollars. She has been cheap, but not this cheap. She should not have even hassled herself. It was the thought that counted though, and I still like her. CASEY
ReplyDeleteOne time my great grandma bought me a pair of long johns. I guess it was nice, but I would have rather had something else, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteI've never re-gifted anything. I guess it would be smart, but I don't really think that anyone would want a pair of long johns as a present. But, if anyone does, just let me know.
Well for those of you who do not know my papa is a butcher. He also thinks it is very funny to cut off various parts of the animal and vaccum pack them and give it as a gift. Well one year i was give goat tits. Yes, you read that correct. Goat tits. It was very disturbing. By far the worst gift ever. Oh, and that is something I definetly did not regift!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Myers! Does the person who gave you the rooster know about this?
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what Danielle said. Ever since I was young (maybe 10 years old) I've never really gotten a gift that I think of as bad. I have favorite gifts, but to me there's no such thing as a bad gift, even if I don't like it. The reason behind this (I just realized this myself) is because around that age of 10 years old, some of our friends went to Alaska and when they got back they gave my sister and I some suvineers (probably spelled wrong). I made a huge fuss because I thought my sister's was better than mine. When my parents refused to let our friends give me something else they taught me to be grateful for every gift. A little while latter, I felt like such a jerk that I never complained about a gift, or looked at it as a bad thing, again.
ITS 8:00 PM DANG IT!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, so I was just picking some stuff up in my room and I found "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angles and Demons" in which Daniell's sister let me borrow last summer. I never opened them and I really want to read them. Mrs. Meyers, may I read "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown for my next book review? And don't say "just read two books" because that just isn't going to happen.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a particularly bad gift, though im sure there have been a few that I have gotten, smiled politely, and later set in the back of my closet, but one presant does stand out as a memerable one.
ReplyDeleteWhen my siter was 4, she was really sad that she couldn't buy anyone presants fr christmas because she didn't have enough money. We told her that shedidn't need to buy things, that the best presants don't come from stores.
When Christmas moring came around, i was curious as to what she had given me. I opened my presant (wrapped in newspaper) and found my old tennis shoe (just one). My sister smiledup atme and said "I know you would like it because you already have one just like it, and now you can wear them together!"
She thought she found the most useful gift for me, and she was right. [My mom got her toothbrush, and my dad got his wallet :)]
Nate...Are you ever going to give those back? You can read them if you want, that's fine, but when you are done she will eventually want them back.
ReplyDeleteokay Danielle, I'm just gonna put this out there right now. You post way too much on this thing. It is simply not healthy.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I don't have a Christmas that was better than any other and that goes the same for any gift that i have received. I have enjoyed each Christmas for the fact that I get to see my family and I don't have to go to school for like three weeks.
Shayla; Your post just cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteDavid; Leave Danielle alone. She can post as much as she wants :-)
You tell him Mrs. Myers!
ReplyDeleteYeah David...don't hate me 'cause you ain't (sorry Mrs. Myers) me
I can't really think of a bad gift I was ever given. The worst I can think of is lotion. To me, lotion is a gift you give someone when you don't know what to get them. I would rather get a gift card somewhere...but NEVER lotion!!! I'm very passionate about this topic as you can tell! I'm just saying that if I wanted lotion I would buy it myself! Otherwise all other Christmas' have been a success!
