Remember in High Scool you had Senior Superlatives-- Best Dressed, Most Likely to Succeed and so on?
What Superlatives would you use to describe your Christmas/Holiday Gifts this year?

I have some categories you can use:

Wackiest Gift
Most Thoughtful
Most Practical
Most Delicious
Most WTH Were They Thinking???

This is My Most Wackiest/Laughter Provoking

I know you are wondering, WTH is it? In the real world, it is a pair of ostrich feet knee socks. In Faery's world, it is a call back to a Pictionary game we played as a family a few months ago. The backstory was that the word I was drawing was "werewolf" and I was (unsuccessfully) attempting to draw the scene in Harry Potter when Professor Lupin changes into the werewolf. My kids always said how creepy his werewolf feet were, so I was trying to draw the feet but they ended up looking like huge chicken feet. The four of us were literally crying with laughter over my drawing-- and I cannot believe that no one took a picture of it before I erased it.
It has become family canon of the time Mom tried to draw a werewolf that looked like a chicken. Hence the hysterical socks that will make my LMBO every time I wear them.

I have some more Superlatives to share, but I want to take some pics of them first. But now it is your turn!

Wackiest
Most Thoughtful-a $200 spa card for my hubby and I from one of his male employees at work.
Most Practical-a Artic brand tailgating cooler for going to Saints games.
Most Delicious-Homemade Italian cookies and bringing ingredients and helping me make chocolate biscotti for the nurses at the home my dad is in.
Most WTH Were They Thinking??? -a secret Santa gift I picked out- a "squatty potty" (https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/st...ElRwBZyg272HD-p20yhoCK3AQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
) along with toilet tissue and a crossword puzzle book.

Kay and Felis- you probably read about the story when it happened in the Ooos- it *still* cracks my family up. :D
Felis- sometimes practical gifts are the best!
Sharon-whoa! You did great, a spa day! Such a special treat to make the cookies with your BIL too. And OMG-- I had no idea what a Squatty Potty was! :rofl:

Two more superlatives:
Most thoughtful:

Yup a bottle of wine. :nod: But that isn't what was thoughtful (although it helps!). The company that sells it, One Hope, uses proceeds to donate to charity. This bottle helps find pets their forever homes. My son got this for me, he knows how much I love dogs and rescues.



Most Unique:

Anyone recognize what this is?
It is a wav file! My husband recorded his voice saying "I Love you More" and then used the laser engraver to burn it into a piece of wood. How awesome is that?! He is wrong, BTW- I love him more. But for the sake of a gift, I will let him have it. Besides, how do you argue with a wav file?

BTW-- I asked for one very practical gift and I am crushed that I didn't get it. I need a new microwaveable heat pack. I go through them like water. I didn't get one and I have to get it for myself now. :Cry:
