In my family, we have a contest to see who can buy the ugliest, most useless, awful Christmas present. For many years, my dad has won. I have received:

1. 100-pound florescent patio pot with a painted lizard coming out of it,
2. A remote control mammoth,
3. A gallon of perfume (smells terrible) from a display,
4. A garden gnome that looks like a dog with a goiter.

This year I gave my dad a wire-framed bald eagle on a stand. Each wire is beaded with holographic beads.

The DH decided to get in on the fun this year...but it got out of hand.

ALL I got from him was chicken statues! I really needed socks.

Just so we're clear: I only collect chickens that make me breakfast.

The best (worst?) one is here:

Edit to remove adult content

The statue itself is pretty, it just connotes a funny response from people.

**sniff** its beautiful...

Anyone else have something to share? Good or bad?

If you hold up a donut,and look in the center of it...see where they took that piece out? Ok, dead center of that is what I got for Christmas. Most horrible gift ever....

We have a contest like that. We call it the cheesy gift exchange, and no one is allowed to spend more than $3. Whoever gets the most votes at the end wins a huge block of some nice cheese. I'll email the picture takers of the family to see if they have any photos I could post . . . we've had some doozies over the years.

You should see my 9-foot 70's wicker orange couch with red and brown piping. I got it at a garage sale for $75 and put it in the entryway.

Men HATE it. Women OOOhhh and AAAAHHH over its uglines.

Tacky is gooood.

No wicker, but definitely 1970's orange!!!!! UGLY ugly! Plus the legs fell off of it, so it's a lowrider now, and it's almost threadbare too, but dang it's COMFY and the price was right!!

Funnee.

Many years we buy white elephants in gift exchange. There is a dollar limit and sometimes the gifts are just outrageous.

Recently my nephew came with a nicely packaged gifit.

INSIDE: A jock strap, and wrapped inside the cup, chocolate covered nuts!

Oh I wonder if I dare do this for my inlaws christmas gag gift....mmmmmm. I dunno. Crazy.....


ANyway,,,,,I love the statue!!!!!

I want chicken and rooster decor......but I just cannot find it around here. I only shop second hand stores and seems like all the ceramic makers are gone around here...... Before I had chickens, I saw it all the time,,,,,now only Pig statues and ceramics do I find!

So anyone that doesn't want their stuff, just send it my way..... Oh and after the last feed bill, I cannot pay postage, so if you know anyone heading to GA, just send it along with them.

Happy New Year.
 
Laree - if you really hate the rooster statue....and it won't cause a breach in your marriage, you might be able to auction it off. On the other hand...it might be worth it to keep it around to let your hubby know that you appreciate his effort, even if he missed the mark.
