Subject: RE: BS: X-MAS GIFTS YOU'VE HAD IT WITH!!!
Well our neighbours gave my daughter a lovely Christina Aguilera doll for her birthday. It played a short clip of some song or other. To save my sanity I found the switch that made it play the song through. Fortuneately my daughter got tired of it within a week so I only hear the song once every couple of months.

The worst thing I can remember is my Mom once getting a small travelling alarm clock that played the Canadian National anthem, flat, as its alarm. She kept it in a large bag with a lot of other useful items. Now and again it would go off unexpectedly and she would be frantically pawing through the bag to get to it and switch it off. I think that's one clock she was very glad to lose.
