We at Mommybloggers have been discussing the holidays. It didn't take long for the discussion to go from the frantic antics of trying to come up with the MUST HAVE gift for your children to the For The Love of All Things Crappy, Please Don't Buy That For Me gifts. We've all received these gifts. You know the ones I am talking about. The ones that makes you stand there with your mouth agape not sure what exactly you should say but knowing that vomiting on your gift would probably not be the correct response?

We want to hear about these from you! We all have cruddy gift stories. (Remind me to tell you about my Epilady disaster!)

Oh sure, we could talk about the hottest toys, the safest toys, the toys all children should have. We could talk about the most luxurious gifts, most extravagent gifts or most appreciated gifts. We could even steal Oprah's Favorite Things List. But seriously, where is the funny in that? (And yes, I meant to say funny and not fun.) Therefore, it is with great excitement that I announce to you the *When-annual Carnival of Cruddy Gifts.

If you are interested in participating, this is what we need from you:

Scamper to your blog and post a tale of Cruddy Gift woe. Don't limit yourself to the winter holidays - no... any gifting occasion has the potential for receiving gifts that make you want to go "Huh?"

Gather the following information for us:

* The title of your post.
* The author of your post.
* The blog on which the post is posted.
* The permalink of the post.
* The Trackback URL of the post.
* A brief summary of the post.

Once you have all of these things together, e-mail them to mommybloggers@gmail.com and please indicate in the subject that it is Cruddy Gift related and we will work to include your amazing...err, rather cruddy gift stories into the Carnival.
