Normally at Christmas, M picks a theme (the picture depicts the "gingerbread man era") and sends gifts that have that theme. Despite the fact that we have a kitchen table and no chairs, never use the kitchen table to eat at, it's more of a clutter container, M always sends us kitchen items, like place settings, and napkins with the year's theme.
The "gingerbread man" era also gave us gingerbread biscotti, which were wrapped in plastic and had mold on them (tasty!).
It was also the year that my sister-in-law confided in us that M always "tries out her gifts" before giving them, which means she probably had a ball walking around in all this stuff, and also explains why some of the items (that still had tags on them) were stained.
Dog cookie christmas tree ornaments with hanging dog head... Made in China and bought for a mere $1.99, and some cheap plastic globe thing with intricate... ok, I don't know what is in there, I didn't bother to look
A Gingerbread table cloth for a round table... which we don't have.Personalized travel mugs, complete with ghastly pictures of us when we were kids... yeah, right.
