Gift Receipt

Christmas is the time to kindly say gift receipt me please, Just in case the gift you give me don’t fully decorate my trees. When you shop there’ll be no need for you to put in a lot of thought, As long as there’s a gift receipt for whatever it is you’ve bought. Then I’ll be sure that I can get the right color and in my size, There really is no down side except for the lack of any real surprise. But after all we’re not kids and we know that magic is not fact, And a gift receipt can save hurt feelings with a modicum of tact. Then bake some Christmas cookies and mark them with my name, And I will also make a batch and with yours do the same. This way we are assured of getting all the ones that we love, I would like to thank you right now for going over and above. Today I saw a Christmas card at one of the local stores, I took a picture of it with my phone and sent it to you and yours. Share the spirit of Christmas with family, friends and everyone in between, And be sure to shop the after Christmas sales ‘cause it’s almost Halloween.

And why stop there? just give gift cards now. My in-laws had the audacity to tell me, "why do you want to waste all that postage on mailing boxes of presents. You can just send us gift cards." yeah. I always thought Xmas was supposed to come from the heart. Hmmm, had to take back the rat poison. hahaha (but I'm saving a ton of money on postage this year)

It's illegal to pass them up at this time of year. My wife and her sister will make 12 different kinds of Chraistmas cookies and 2000 in total.

Yikes you sure have a great way of fixing that awkward moment when you don't like the gift someone bought you.. It is just a pity people are not always open to the idea.. Btw that one was never about me lol, I have no magnetism.. Not like the sun does anyway ;) Thank you for the laughter you always provide :) Wilma

With me either nothing is an awkward moment or everything is. Depends on what kind of a person I'm with.
