Best and Funniest Christmas Gifts?

As I contemplate another Christmas incinerating the turkey roast in my favourite I'm Cooking the Books! apron, I wonder what are the funniest or best Christmas gifts other accountants have received from clients or colleagues?

Best and Funniest Christmas Gifts!    1 thanks

By far the best gift at Christmas for me is found in John Chapter 3 verse 16 (Bible) - "for God so loved the World that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life!'.  What a great gift!

10 years ago, I  received an executive briefcase from our office landlord: Contained therein was a complete set of knives (including a large meat cleaver and sharpening tools)!  I still use the set today.

I don't recall ever receiving anything funny.

 

That time of year, already?

My mother means well but has the strangest sartorial taste ever, and in no way does it line up with mine. One year when I was a recent graduate, she decided to buy me a suit -- a scratchy brown suit -- and a blouse to go with it. The blouse had this ugly brown and orange, floral and lattice pattern on it. I was speechlessly contemplating how to react when my (not so tactful) sister said, "Is that a tablecloth?" We all laughed and needless to say the suit and blouse went back to the shop!

 A client sent us an animated Xmas card featuring a video clip sequence with partner and staff features superimposed on santa and his reindeers.

We then got the same animated e card from three other clients.

I once got a multi pack of toffee crisp chocolate bars from a work colleague. It wasn't a joke, nor do I usually eat them, so it was very confusing
