Regifting. It is when you get something from from someone, pretend to like it, and then give it to someone else. Last year I got my darling wife a nice gray hat...a touque as they say in Canada. On the first cold day I noticed that my daughter was wearing it. So many mixed emotions. Oh well, at least we had something to laugh about...

Last Christmas I gave you a hat
But the very next day you gave it away
You said that it didn't fit
So you gave it to someone special
But the very next day you gave it away
You said that it didn't fit
So you gave it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you a hat
But the very next day you gave it away
I saw it on the head of my little girl
You gave it to someone special
One present that I chose to buy
A special gray hat at farm fleet and supply
Tell me baby, do you even see?
That hat was a special surprise from me.
Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
Believing you liked it, I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you a hat
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save my heart from breaking in shards
I'll give you only Walmart gift cards

I'll only buy hats that fit the heads of your peers
Ooh
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room, friends with freezing heads
I'm buying hats from you regifted to your friends
My God, they think, don't you like nice woolen hats?
Hat shopping? I should have brought you with to try it on
That hat on my daughter it is looking so sweet
That warm head cover, that was wrapped up so neat
I should have looked for a pair of warm gloves
But you would just give them away again

That face on a daughter with that nice hat (You gave her yours)
A wonderful hat that you said was too small
Maybe next year I'll get you something
Something that fits would be special
Special
So long
Don't worry babe...I will be shopping for the next 11 months. I will find that perfect gift. I promise!
How about a nice ski vacation?
ReplyDeleteYeah, right, as it's worked for you, year after year. We have to cut Mr. Hot Coco a break seein' as he's still just a little pup (or 'poop' as they say in Canada; or 'shite' in Ireland) and has not learned to never buy clothing for his wife (his girlfriend ... maybe) for any reason. Even cash is suspect, "Where'd you get the money?" when she's the family accountant. The best gift is spontaneous, homemade, on recycled paper, in crayon or pencil-- okay, pastels, and ink, and paint; oil or watercolor, or acrylic if you must. Don't forget birthdays until she turns 30 (judge her feelings about aging after that), anniversaries of all types: meeting, kissing, etc, proposal, college graduation, pregnancies, career acquisition and subsequent promotions, etc, etc. Ignore any of her comments about liking a particular piece of clothing because YOU DON"T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WOMEN"S CLOTHING and once that's drilled into your head, married life will be ... hopefully better for you and all concerned.
DeleteSara and I couldn't stop laughing! Thanks!
