Wow. That is a pretty presumptuous gift to give someone you don't know well enough even to know if he'd want it.

Check this one out - for Christmas from one of our neighbors, my husband the devout atheist got A HOLY BIBLE. We can't even regift it because they had his name engraved on the front of it. Can you believe that crap? Conversely to you, I live in a very conservative neighborhood within a very liberal town. I knew I was in trouble when I learned after the first week here that three out of five of my immediate neighbors attend the same church.
Funny thing - they gave me some shower gel. I said they must have thought I was a lost cause and Ed said it's apparently to "wash the sin off of" me. :laugh:
(If they knew the half of it, they wouldn't even speak to me.)

That is effin' unbelievable. An engraved bible seems like something only maybe a person's parents would give them as they came of age or sumpn. And the shower gel surprises me too, for a different reason - because it implies that, you know [blush], you have a body. Oh my!

Oh my goodness - what an odd odd odd present. They must know you are'r religiiuswhen you don't leave your house at the same time as them on a sunday - or attend their church... so plainly they are trying to indoctrinate you - but you would have thought they would have been more subtle..
Also - Why were they even buying you a gift? I certainly don't buy my neighbours a gift for Xmas!

I know! What kind of mixed message is that? On the one hand, they're practically ordering your husband to find the Lord, on the other hand, they're busy picturing you showering!

It would be funny to think what might be appropriate reciprocating gifts to these. A "What Would Jesus Do" wristband and some KY jelly? :)
