This Saturday and Sunday receive a collectible Canadian Tire $1 coin with a $25 dollar purchase. While this isn’t a “start your car” deal It’s kind of neat that Canadian Tire has made their own coin. The coin would make a cool stocking stuffer, or you could send some of this “funny money” to a USA friend.
I think this week spending $25 dollars at Canadian Tire would be fairly easy with some nice sales in the flyer starting this Saturday. Oh heck who am I kidding, when is it ever hard to spend $25 dollars at Canadian Tire?
Let me know if you pick up a coin and what you think of it! 🙂
Hi Boo! Here is my Christmas story. It’s a true one, I hope you’ll like it.
It’s amazing how something that your child does can break your heart so much. One of my friends told me that the first time her three year old punched her in the face she went to the bathroom, locked herself in and cried for twenty minutes. Another told me that the first time her daughter told her that she hated her, she died a little inside. So with those stories I can only imagine what I did to my mother on Christmas day when I was five years old.
I remember being so excited that it was Christmas morning. My sister and I rushed down the hall to our fake little Christmas tree and gawked at all the gifts that surrounded it. So many were from Santa, but there was a few select ones, always the best ones, that were signed by my mother. We saved these ones for last. I can’t remember if it was because that is what she wanted, or that is what we chose to do, I just remember opening those ones with the prettiest paper last.
We ripped through our stockings first, then our little gifts, then our big gifts. Everything was wonderful to a five year old. Even the clothes which I had no interest in were nice to look at. When we were done we were surrounded by piles of crumpled paper, crushed boxes, broken bows and tangled ribbon. We sat patiently waiting for our final gift. The loveliest ones of the whole group, with Victorian wrapping paper covered in roses and little girls in white dresses and curly-cues. The ribbon was a dusty pink velvet-like ribbon, and in the knots my mother had tied fake Baby’s Breath. A pretty little card covered in sparkles topped it off. It was a picture perfect gift, and I tore into it like a baboon on a gazelle carcass.
My sister had hers open first. It was a magical little Precious Moments plush doll. She was dressed in a burgundy dress with a gray hooded cape. On her hand rested a blue bird. She stood on a stand and when you wound up the base she would play music and turn. I was in love with it. She was so beautiful, and seeing what my sister got, I anticipated something even better.
My bubble was popped though as soon a I ripped off the final shred of paper. I too had received a Precious Moments doll, but mine was quite different. She was in a bikini with a water toy around her waist. She had goggles on her head, and didn’t play music like the other, she was more of a rag doll.
Instantly I was appalled. I broke into tears. My mother, bless her heart, had no idea why I was so upset. I began to scream with vigour, “I hate it! I hate it! I HATE IT!” My mother scrambled to get a hold of the situation but it was too late. I was in full tantrum mode and she could not understand why. In my final act of expressing my disgust, I picked it up by it’s nose, pretending like it was a piece of garbage. Unfortunately the nose was only lightly glued on, and as soon as I did this, the doll fell, leaving me with that stubbly little nose pinched in my fingers.
“That’s it!” my mother roared, “Go to your room!”
“Way to go Caitlin. You ruined Christmas.” My sister chimed in.
Off I stormed to my room to pout away the rest of Christmas morning, as my mother sat in the living room with what I am sure was a broken heart.
* * *
I couldn’t help but recall this incident as my friends told me their Mommy Horror Stories. Suddenly I felt so much guilt that I ran to the phone and called my mother. As she picked up I was already pouring apologies out my mouth, hoping she would forgive me for my tantrum twenty years prior.
I could hear her chuckle on the other end, as she said “Oh Hunny, you were just little. The only thing I don’t understand is why you were angry enough to rip off her nose.”
I went on explaining to her the reasoning that was in my little five year old brain at the time.
She giggled again and told me why she had chose that particular doll for me that Christmas. “You had just started swimming lessons, and I was so proud of you. I wanted you to have something to remember your big accomplishments.”
I smiled with tears in my eyes and told her, “I’ll always remember that gift mum. Now I know it was the best gift ever.”
