Inappropriate Christmas Gifts # 1

As you tear off the christmas paper and get the first glimpse of your gift, does your heart sometimes sink as you realise people have no idea what you like or maybe, simply don't care?

I once came across a book which I think was called Hitler a Portrait of Tyranny. I opened the book to find a gift inscription something along these lines: To Auntie Mary, Happy Christmas love John, Jack, Tom or whoever.

To me that seemed wrong, not really in the spirit of the season, but I don't know this Mary and the giver may have been spot on. Maybe it was on her Christmas list.

The book came from Darwen, Lancashire but I don't think there is a connection.
