Yes, christmas is about the joy of giving. About being with family, enjoying a special meal and for some, celebrating their religious beliefs.

This thread is about receiving... specifically, receiving gifts which make you go.... huh??!

Yesterday, my IL's (whom I don't get along with) gave me four coffee pods. For a coffee machine which I don't own. Not sure what I am supposed to do with them! And it's not that they didn't realise that I don't own an appropriate machine. My MIL actually commented 'oh, I know you don't have the right machine for those pods, but I thought you might like them anyway'. Uh huh. No. What to do with them? I am considering keeping them for MIL's birthday... and giving them back to her. I will wrap them up, just as she did for me, and comment on the fact that she will never be able to use them... but that I thought she might like them any way!

What did you get?
