After reading this list, I did my own list of gifts I don't want for Christmas.  This is what I came up with:  a carton of cigarettes, a bottle of perfume (I can't stand the stuff - I am allergic to it), escargot, a dog collar, a gerbil or any other rodent for that matter, live fish bait, a subscription to Popular Mechanics, a lamb dinner, a cork screw (I don't drink, and I HATE the taste of wine, LOL), a Chia Pet, a pet rock, and a punk rock CD!!!

Okay, so here is what I want you to do.  In the comments section name one or more things you DO NOT want to receive for Christmas!  Thanks for playing along!  Krissy :)

game:  Frosty's Stress Relief 

Gospel reading:  Matthew 7:21, 24-27

  1. I wouldn't mind a chia pet, Krissy.  Why wouldn't you want a chia pet?  They are just a plant on some funny looking clay? LOL  I guess some things I wouldn't want would be, "A can of beets and carrots, a bottle of gin or vodka, a bluegrass CD, a duck dinner, a man ties, and a book entitled, "How to please your abusive, controlling husband".  LOL  This was a FUN entry!  Yay!  Loved it!  xox

  5. Chia pets scare me! No clowns period! No perfume that smells stronger than a skunk. No more hairballs. I have quite a nice collection as it is thank you kitties! No more kitties. No $5.00 gift card from a store where the cheapest thing in there is $45.00.  No more sweaters that creates festive colored hives. And please, please, please no more junk mail wishing me a Merry Christmas if I would just buy their carpet cleaner! Tammy

  6. I wouldn't want a box of candy. First I am a diabetic and second the sugar free bought candy does a number on my stomach. No perfume for me either as it messes up my sinus and makes me feel sick to my tummy to smell it. What I would like is a wide angle lens for my camera. Helen

  8. I don't want a CD of polka music, a case of beer, peanut brittle, blood with a new antibody (bad blood), a pack of cigars, a hunting rifle, and a mood ring.

    I think this journal is fantastic.  You and Valerie have been doing a great job.

  16. Okay, I'm back...I thought of a couple of things that I DON'T want for Christmas.
    Catalogs in the mail, credit card bills, nothing from Hickory farms, any more dustables. LOL I WOULD like peace on Earth, good health and happiness for all my friends and family, and few other little thing which I put on a list so as not to get that standard reply for hubby...YOU buy what you want--I'll pay for it.  LOL He is THE world's worst shopper. I think he would rather have a root canal without the anesthetic tban to have to go shopping.  
    Holiday hugs, Barb

  18. Hi - cute journal!  I don't want knick knacks for Christmas.  Other than that, I don't care - I prefer to give and there's not much money this year for me to receive so I would rather buy for my kids.  Hugs, Caroline
