I&#8217;m throwing out a question, or two, to you. Take a few seconds and think about your hopes, and wishes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">okay\u2013ready?<\/p>\n<p>What do you wish for in the New Year, that <em>can&#8217;t<\/em> be bought? (This doesn&#8217;t have to be profound)<\/p>\n<p>And for fun&#8211; what is the worst, or silliest Christmas gift you&#8217;ve ever gotten? Mine would have to be one of the numerous re-gifts I&#8217;ve gotten from family members. It&#8217;s hard to pick just one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One of the stinkers, for me, was the Mickey Mouse red collared polo shirt that exactly matched my husband&#8217;s shirt gift. It sported at least 300 Mickey heads, and a USA theme. More\u00a0tacky than I could handle. Strangely enough, this was NOT a re-gift. It came with a receipt from Sears. When I took both items back, they were worth $1.75. Should I keep them, I thought? Nah! I took the cash and bought a small beverage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Silly man,\u00a0Jon Acuff<\/strong><strong> wins so far for silliest gift.
