We're talking about the worst Christmas gifts. We learned the
number one worst Christmas gift on the list self help books.
They're okay, give I guess, but just not for Christmas.

(04:02):
Maybe that could be a New Year's gift, a better
and brighter you, but not for Christmas. So we're asking
you about your worst Christmas gift. And Anthony it's pajama
pants and sock, something that he gets every year, probably
because you're really hard to buy for. I don't really
think I've ever gotten a really bad Christmas gift. I
love crafts from the kids. My husband isn't a gift giver,

(04:25):
so I basically just get a present for myself, and
in my mind, I say, it's it's from Bob. So
we're asking you about your absolute worst Christmas gifts or
maybe you're a bad Christmas gift giver because you just
can't figure it out. It's a really, it's definitely a
talent to be a good gift giver. And we have got,

(04:47):
let's see, we're going to the phones now, the worst
Christmas gift ever. Let's go to sugar Land. We've got Brenda, Brenda,
the worst Christmas gift you ever got.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
My husband is a horrible gift giver, and I out
a tool them.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Now, wait a minute, wait, some of us ladies would
really enjoy a toolbox, and I'm obsessed with tools. That
would be okay for me, But obviously that's not your
love language, right, Brenda.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
No, not really, And I think it had to be
helpful and to keep me out of his tools.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I like that. That's a very creating it is kind
of manipulative gift. Sure, husband, Brenda, if you had your way, though,
what would be the perfect gift from your husband probably jewelry.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Ah, but he's not a big gift giver. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm that way with my husband too. It's just it's
just better off, Brenda. You get your own jewelry. Okay,
oh yeah, that's the way to do.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I agree with my inside earlier. I just buy what
I want and I don't worry about what he tries
to borrow.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, you can't. You're gonna be waiting forever. Give to
the toolbox, give it to someone like me.
