Years ago my Mom bought a gift box that was...well...to put it nicely "ugly as sin". She of course blessed with it with my gift inside. Of course, the next year...she got it back...this went on for years. By the time my Mom passed away, that poor box was covered in duct tape and spit to hold it together. We tied it with string....one year I hid it inside other wrapping paper..but it always appeared. When Mom passed away I got all her Christmas stuff, but I never found that box. I have no idea what happened to it.
For the guys...we passed around one of those ugle ties that looks like a fish..remember those? It might still show up sometime..ya' just never know.
