A Different Christmas Thread

OK, we had the thread on what is the worst gift you ever received, but how about the worst gift you ever gave? For instance...when you were children. What did you give your parents, etc.

1. When I was a child, I gave my mother a great big bottle of "Blue Waltz" perfume. Remember that horrid stuff? I later found out that my mother emptied it out, cleaned out the bottle, and dumped in Evening in Paris instead.

2. My sister gave my Dad a set of about 25 key rings when she was a little girl. He passed away a few months ago, and he was still using those key rings...still have some to pass on!

3. When my sister was younger, she once came out Christmas Eve and said, "Daddy, I'll bet you can't guess what I'm giving you for Christmas? Its got a collar and two sleeves and buttons down the front." {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. ~~ Steve Maraboli
