Tricks and...More Tricks!
So almost a year ago, this vicious game of pay back started in my family. Actually, to begin with it started in my childhood. You see, my grandmother buys the worst Christmas gifts. We all smile and say thank you, but normally they're just junk. Well, last year, our Christmas celebration with my grandparents was before we celebrated with my parents and brother. So my mom and brother thought it would be funny to re-gift the gifts my grandma had gotten for them, and gave them to me. So since then they have been given back and forth amongst us. Most recently, I decided to send one gift (a decorative bird feeder) to my brother as a "house warming" gift when he moved into his new house. Well, that was about 3 weeks ago when I sent it and he never called to say anything about it. So this weekend when he came, I asked him if he had gotten it and he hadn't. He said they don't leave packages unless someone is there, because they live in a bad neighborhood. So I kept reminding him the entire weekend to make sure he went to the post office to get his "gift" I sent him. Man, I thought I was so sneaky and so funny... That is until today when I went on our front porch and found the bird feeder!!! He got me this time...any ideas for payback?

My brother is notorious for eating the hershey kiss off the top of my grandma's cookies and leaving the rest, so she sent the cookie to him in the mail. He put it in her house back in the cookie jar (still half eaten, but in a plastic baggie). So she mounted it and framed it for him. OK, that really wasn't usefull info, sorry.

First, you could send him the birdfeeder back. Then, you could get a bird and send it a couple of days later!

Sure hope your grandma don't read this! She did ask for a picture of your house. Hope the site wasn't on the paper. Ha Ha We all might not receive any more Christmas.
