Me too, Paul. No Precious Moments, either, or Willow Tree, or Dreamsicles. All that stuff that people like to get moms and grandmas. Amazon gift cards, that's the ticket.
I DID buy an oil painting today of a mouse on a strawberry looking at a butterfly..something about it just SPOKE to me...even though it is kind of a creepy looking mouse...
Terry--I'll send ya a photo :)
I also have a Thomas Kinkaid zippered bible cover that I use to hold my Breviary, plus has some nice little side pockets to hold a rosary and small phamplets/prayer cards....so handy for Adortion/Benediction...plus no mistaken it is mine :)
I RECEIVE gifts like this ALL the time. I am afraid that when I eventually pass away many people's feelings will be hurt when they turn up to sort my belongings and find a trunk filled with items such as these still in their original packaging.
My mother-in-law, bless her, gave us a Willow Tree Nativity set the year we married. They are not coming to our house this year. I think it will stay in the closet...

ReplyDeleteNo one knows of this. It is my secret.
In the religious nicknacks section of a local store they had a bunch of angels mounted on crosses?????
ReplyDeleteOK. Angels are religious; crosses are religious so . . .
"...Never, ever purchase products that look like the item shown in the photo. Never even think about it..."
ReplyDeleteHow about Mariachis at the Manger scene?
You are too funny.
Damn good advice, though.
