I feel so guilty. When our girls were young, the go-to gift was always soap-on-a-rope. I know better now … and I will not buy him a tie. Happy New Year, Carl. 😉
Gifting is such sweet sorrow when the color is wrong, even though the thought was beautiful. If only one could wear the thought, less footwork would be involved in returns. I hope you did not receive many ties. Blessings to you, Carl…

Ooooh – I think this will make for a fun party theme – like ugly Christmas sweaters.

Hey, Carl, my hubby’s worn one of these in our younger years when the kids were little. Now he hardly ever wears a tie! 🙂

I would not mind that. Actually, I think I’m the last jerk on earth that thinks getting a fruitcake is a wonderful gift. I love fruitcake !
