From an email!

10. There's something half-hearted about the way they say, "Oh wow -- Q- Tips".
9. They spend Christmas morning making up games involving wrapping paper.
8. They hire a Gambino family hit man to break Santa's kneecaps.
7. You see them trying to shove everything back up the chimney.
6. Spelled out in Legos on the front lawn are the words "You're Cheap!!!".
5. Moments after they unwrap gifts, you see them for sale on E-Bay.
4. Your son simply refuses to understand why you couldn't get him two hours alone with Cindy Crawford.
3. They cite your gifts as a major factor in their decision to convert to Islam.
2. You wake up and find the head of Elmo in your bed.
1. They ask, "Where'd you buy this stuff -- Crap `R' Us?"

1. Any children of mine who had that reaction to their gifts

would get uh, let's just say fewer presents the next holiday season.

3. Those were amusing but IRL would be tacky...

it is however hard to hide one's displeasure when one's gifts display some sort of basic non-comprehension of who the gift-recipient is. In my family's case, they don't even try to understand me. Gifting is another venue for criticism of who I am.

2. # 6 hits home but for different reasons.

When my children were little I spelled out the bad words that I would normally say. I know I shouldn't have been even thinking them, but I was and because I didn't want my children repeating the words I spelled them. One day my three year old son was busy playing out in the front yard with his hot wheel track as I watched from the side yard. After a short time we went inside and everything seemed fine. It was only later that I discovered what my three year old had been up to. He had taken the magnetic letters that went with his black board and spelled out all those little nasty words across the yard on his hot wheel track. The mail man, a delivery man and several neighbors had passed by and read his creative work. Needless to say I quit spelling words in front of my son that I did not want him spelling out for others.
