Sometimes you don’t realize how lucky you are until you stumble across a website like the “Bad Gift Emporium.” http://www.badgiftemporium.com/ It’s a frightful showcase of bad gifts received by others. As the website says, these “gifts are so bad, they’re good (at being bad).” Here you can find candy corn mice butter knives; a Llama doll sporting real llama fur (that’s just creepy) and a music box that plays Santa Clause is Coming to Town and features Santa and Mrs. Clause doing the wild thing in a bathtub (even creepier than the llama).
It’s good for a laugh. But on a more serious note, as we close the book on this final day of 2008, please know that all of us at Sisterhood of the Jaunty Quills wish each of you a very happy, healthy, prosperous 2009.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope that 2009 brings love, peace, health, and lots of time for reading!
On a separate note, I am wondering if Jacquie D’Alessandro ever chose winners from her Nov. 22 post? We don’t want anybody to miss out on a special book to read!

Good question, Cheryl. We’ll get in touch with Jacquie and post the winner once we know.

Margo, we played a terrible joke on my father-in-law one Christmas. We got him a new BBQ grill, but before we wheeled it in, we pulled a small box from under the tree for him to unwrap.
In side was a single piece of coal. He was a really good sport, saying, “Well, I guess that’s about all I deserve.” Then we wheeled in the grill with a big bow on it!
Uh-oh… maybe that lump of coal on the website was the one we gave him??
Happy New Year!!
