Christmas Planning Please Advise

[trisherina]

I have stuck people with some doozies... one year, I got rid of a beauty that would henceforth always be known as "the humping ducks." It was a weird ceramic plaque featuring one duck behind the other in an undeniably suggestive pose, with the word "WELCOME" arched over them. Another year I wound up with Jalalabad chicken, a hideous creature who makes a fine garden decoration for scaring the unwary. I found out who the perpetrator of the Jalalabad chicken fiasco was, and made sure she got my next little treasure: a "resin" plaque reading "Jesus is the reason for the season." Not surprisingly, all the Islamic and Sikh women who make up a large part of our program's staff kept giving it away. Ah, the dorsal striatum.
