Did anyone get a bad/hilarious or creepy gift?
My soon to be ex MIL who is well aware that I used to be Catholic and am now pretty much nothing, but definitely not a flat-earther Fundie like she is got me a Jesus Fish Bath Accessory set. A loofah, bath mit and other assorted bath supplies crammed into a fish shaped wicker basket and actually labeled "Jesus Fish Bath Accessory Set"!

I was thinking it would have been more fun if it was labeled "Scrub the Sin Away"

:rofl:

6. OK...Turkish Delight.
If you're not familiar with it, it's a candy.
I guess.
It IS sweet.
And very bland.
It's just...sweet.
Other than that, it's hard to describe.
'Yucky' comes to mind.

My son-in-law's uncle shows up EVERY Christmas with TWO boxes of this 'delicacy'.
Uncle Bob thinks these are a real treat.
Uncle Bob is full of crap.

7. Wash your sins away in the tide
Forget your troubles
Come on get happy
You better chase all you cares away
Shout halleuja
Come on get happy
Get ready for the judgement day

The sun is shining
Come on get happy
The lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout halleuja
Come on get happy
We're going to the promised land

We're heading across the river
Wash your sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful on the other side

Forget your troubles
Come on get happy
You better chase all you cares away
Shout halleuja
Come on get happy
Get ready for the judgement day

Forget your troubles
Come on get happy
You better chase all you cares away
Halleuja
Come on get happy
For the judgement day

The sun is shining
Come on get happy
The lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout halleuja
Come on get happy
We're going to the promised land

We're heading across the river
Wash your sins away in the tide
It's quiet and peaceful on the other side

Forget your troubles
Get happy
Your cares fly away
Shout halleuja
Get happy
Get ready your judgement day

Come on get happy
Chase your cares away
Shout halleuja
Come on get happy
Get ready for the judgement day

The sun is shining
Come on get happy
The lord is waiting to take your hand
Halleuja
Come on get happy
We're going to the promised land

You better chase all your cares away
Shout halleuja
Come on get happy

8. you can't wash away sin that easily
;-)

What a hilarious gift. Reminds me of the old website CheesyJesus.com truly God-awful stuff.

I'm a little envious of the cheese value of this gift :-) Maybe you could draw little feet on the fish to make them Darwin Fish.

I'm waiting for my bag of crap. I will get it tonight. It's actually become my favorite holiday tradition. There's always one item that no one knows what it is. There's at least one item that will insult me (men's cologne or elderly skin care cream, men's razors) and just a bunch of random stuff. I once got a bag of feminine products. I must look like a bleeder or something. It's so much fun, my co-workers gather around my desk after New Years to witness the bounty of the bag 'o crap. The goal is to be open to different needs throughout the year and trust that each item in the bag 'o crap has a purpose during the year. If by October there are still items left we put them in a crap'o latern and dare people to find a use for the items.

I'm all excited. Can't wait for my Crap Store Outlet bag!!! It never disappoints and always makes me laugh.

This year everyone is bringing in their holiday stuff to work on January 6th. We are calling it Crappy Holidays! We will have the opportunity to trade for other people's crap. Now that's the holiday spirit.

Glad you are laughing, joyous and full of good cheer.
Sounds like things are in place for a happy new year.

laundry room cabinet.

I hope the actual Barbados smells better.
