When I was a kid we NEVER ripped off wrapping paper and got all excited about whatever was on the box inside.. because what was inside the BOX was never what was ON the box..
My Mom and all her neighborhood mom friends thought it was funny to trade boxes after Christmas. I'd tear off the wrapping paper and think I was getting a new Breyer Model Horse - and it was actually a box full of underwear..

recycle, recycle, recycle....
:gigI think we could somehow be related. This nutty family tries to outdo each other every year on crazy and hard to open or BIG surprise inside wrapping jobs. Things that might take wire cutter, hammer and chisel or screw driver to get open, then beware you could get a shower of glitter! ;)

I've got several in the barn - can't toss them & have gifted all the horse-crazy little girls I know with so many that their Mom's forbade me to add to the 'mess'. PM me your address' and I'll send yall some. :D

Thanks Cane, that's so sweet! But now that I'm an adult I have my own stable of Breyer horses, with a wooden barn even. The neighbor girls used to come play with them, (my reason for getting them) but they seem to be out growing that now.

There is a three year old horse nut next door. She is the cutest kid in the world (uh...except for the TEG grands of course)

She'll come with her mom for a quick visit and while we chat she'll grab my hand and say ''scuse me Miss Kristi? Can I hang with you?' If it's okay with mom she stays with me for an hour or so and we get the horse barn and horses out and set up our ranch. If it's cold we have hot cocoa with lots of whipped cream, and one free refill on whipped cream. I soak all this juvenile attention up because I know in a few years she won't know me from a bowl of chopped liver.

I'm getting a lot of grammy practice in anyway. :p
