I received a package today from my dad's sister Mick. Upon opening this Christmas/birthday gift (she did not include a card) I discovered that I was given a collection of objects from around her house. I curiously opened each newspaper-wrapped item and laid them all out on my table: a pink vinyl coin purse, a ball point pen, a calculator, and a sculpture made out of sea shells. I had a flashback to the scene in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Aunt Bethany wraps up her cat and gives it away as a Christmas gift.
Given that I have yet to buy a single Christmas gift, I'm torn-- do I stoop so low as to regift or should I take the high road and wrap up one of my cats?
Anyone want a sea shell sculpture?

That's weird. The holidays are weird.
Is the pen nice looking or one of those Bics that come 25 to a pack? That'd be pretty funny.
If you aren't sure who the person in your family who is "a little off" is, does that mean it's you who is the one who is a little off?
I'll take Dora!
I'm giving everyone in my family chapstick.
