Best and Funniest Christmas Gifts?

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.

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!

Wife once got a plug in glowing butterfly ornament type thing from her Nanna. Thankfully since dementia has set in her present quality has improved...

 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

I am not sure what you use the knives for, but if a middle aged suit carrying an executive briefcase approaches me I will treat him with caution.

Regarding the first gift, this is of course absolutely priceless, and can be received at any time. I suspect i got mine a few years before you, 10th September 1970 to be precise,  Unlike the case of knives this cannot be bettered.was last more than a lifetime.

but i did receive something funny. A friend in Canada sent me the New Yorker Desk Diary  2013, 52 of the wittiest cartoons I have ever seen

Be blessed in the New Year, Accountancy is an honorable profession. Read Romans 13 to see.

Don't know anything about you, Razia, but was this a suggestion you talk too much for her taste, and these keep your teeth together for a while? OR had she recently finihed the audit of a company that made toffee crisp chocolate bars?
