Worst gift:  For Christmas my MIL gave me cellulite treatment cream.

        Signed - Cellulite Treatment Cream

Worst gift:  I've always suspected that my MIL did not like me.  One year, she mailed our gifts, and they arrived on the 5th of December - ALL unwrapped.  She later told my DH that she was "too busy" to wrap them (BTW, the "gifts" consisted of a couple of hand me down knickknacks and two small books - one of which was a book about how to live on less money.)  The next year, our gift was a freebie calendar that you get for subscribing to a newsletter for $10 a year.  And, that was it.  At least she wrapped it (but in Xmas paper that they had sent her as well - it had their logo on it!).  In addition, she didn't even put a tag on it.  She just wrote on the wrapping paper, "For DS and DIL"!  Yeesh!  Too cheap to even buy wrapping paper or put a tag on it!!!

Worst gift:  My MIL is awful.  I've been married twice.  My first MIL was annoying, but she gave very thoughtful gifts.  My new MIL, however, sends us religious cr@p.  I just received a 50" wind chime.  I hate wind chimes.  To me, they are more awful sounding than fingernails on a chalk board.  So, I have had it.  She is coming out to our house soon and I am going to hang the wind chime right outside the guest room window.  I am going to hang up all the religious items in the room she will be sleeping in.  And, I am going to make sure that all the old, nasty candies she keeps sending me are offered to her for dessert.  If those huge freaky wind chimes don't keep her awake, nothing will.  Oh, and BTW, DH and I are atheists.  Thanks for the crosses.  I doubt very much that I have the worst MIL, but mine sure is close.  Oh, and for Christmas, I sent her a note.  "We are pregnant."  I especially knew that she'd love to hear the good news, seeing as when we started trying 6 months ago she said, "I am not ready to be a GM, and I don't think my son is ready to be a father."  Well, he says that he is, so congrats you old witch!
