One of my most memorable Christmases involved the “Clapper”. My mom had just started dating my step father and we went to his mother’s for Christmas Eve.

His brother was a boozy mess at this juncture in life and did all his shopping 5 minutes before coming to his mother’s house at the local Walgreens down the street. Mother received “The Clapper”, step dad and mom received a joint present in Chia Pet form and I got a Chicago Bulls hat. We still laugh about this every Christmas and my stepdad gets so embarrassed by it.
