Uncle Bill Opens stocking--surrounded by all these non-coffee drinkers he finally gets some decent coffee!!
We helped out Santa with my parent's and Uncle Bill's stocking. The best was my dad's stocking.
Here's the set up....Every year my dad goes around the house, gathers up things from your room or wherever, wraps it up and puts it under the tree. That way he knows it's exactly what you want because it's something you already have and use. For example: 1 year I got the clock that hung on my wall in my bedroom for 8 years, he knew I'd like it since I used it for 8 years already. My mom has received wedding presents Michael and Sheri have kept stored in my parent's attic (hey--it's all fair game) and even a wind chime they bought 1 year in Hawaii and never hung up--it was still in it's box so it just got wrapped up!

So this year I went up to his bathroom after he went to sleep and gathered up all his toiletries and put them in his stocking, his pills, his deodorant, his shaver, everything! So when he gets downstairs and sees his stocking he starts laughing so hard! It turns out that he woke up in the night needing his heartburn medicine, so he went to go find it. After looking all over his bathroom, my mom's bathroom (yes-there were his and her bathrooms in the master bedroom) and the master bedroom for about 30 min he decided that my sis-in-law Amie was right and the house was haunted. (Amie was convinced the house was haunted and by Christmas Day she had John and Aleksia on board too!) He knew his stuff was in the bathroom when he got in bed and there is no other explanation! Amie now had him convinced too! So he finally goes to bed believing that Amie was right and he had lost all his medications. He was so happy to find all his stuff and realize that the house wasn't haunted! It was hilarious!!!!
Ferrel telling us about his night!
That's pretty funny. Maybe I'll have to start that tradition with my family. Very economical, too. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! That's hilarious! (except for him almost dying!)
ReplyDeleteI did a similar thing to my sister. I wrapped up her $100.00 boots for our families white elephant. Her face was priceless! When my BIL tried them on she was mortified and still hasn't forgiven ME for when he put his 'foot fungus' in her expensive shoes. Good times!
