Made me LOL! So cute!

The glowing, disembodied hands were like old with hands with visible veins and too long fingernails. I was terrified of them! What made it worse was that my sister would torture me by sneaking them, plugged in and glowing, under my covers, in the dark bathroom, hung sideways coming out of the wall of my dark closet...

Even my overly polite mother was like, “whoa, those are creepy!” Loved my dear grandmother but will never understand what she was thinking!

Ok I shouldn’t laugh but this is funny!

But do you like her gifts?

My bitch of an aunt used to give me clothing sized 12 or 14 when I was a teen.

I was a petite sized 4-6, with a raging eating disorder and terror that I was indeed fat.

Even now that I am 41, and still a size 6, she is still at it. Last Christmas she sent me a coat, sized 14.

The clothes she sends are new and high quality. Yes, my aunt is tiny, and yes, the women on that side of the family are obsessed with not getting fat and gossiping about who is fat, and yes, this is how I ended up with an eating disorder that lasted two decades.

I'm a vegetarian and use steak knives pretty much every day. Just not for steak.

totally allergic to fragranced lotions, bath soaps etc.

I have been given these over the years by family members who have forgotten or just aren't interested in remembering.

but it's ok because they are easy to recycle.

Ugh last year MIL gave me so much CANDY. Like gallons of M&Ms and Jellybeans definitely recycled from work or something.

I was overweight at the time, and I’m actively losing weight now and I just got her “message.”

A butt buster. Given to me by my skinny sister. Mechanical exercise gizmo for people who need to work out the butt.

My mom lost a lot of weight while I didn’t. She wrapped up her old fat pants for me for Xmas.

I win.

A gun rack. I don't even own *a* gun, let alone enough to necessitate a rack!

But seriously, my mom gave me a book called "How to Be Alone." I was single (obviously).
