To Mona with love
The majority of us Arabs, well mostly Palestinians living in diaspora, have been gift receiving recipients, for oh, I don’t know, all our lives!
We foreigners living here or down there or somewhere in the middle have this collection of gifts. We have lived our lives waiting for the real Santa Clause (some neighbor that lives 10 doors to the left of aunt so and so from back home) to come over from the “belad (home land)” and bare gifts. They are unknown gifts that 99% of the time are not needed, not wanted, and are very old school. We love them to death anyways and if we don’t get them, our mere existence is pointless! It means they forgot us! How can they forget us?
One time my sister got a cooler gift than me, an awesome looking necklace, and I was pissed!
One time I got a sucky huge ass yellow sweater, and I didn’t know if I wanted to vomit on it, or cut it to pieces to use as wash clothes.
The best gifts are always candy. Candy from back home is a recipe for gluttony. A way to fill that black hole inside of us. I can devour baklava and other amazing Arabic sweets in an hour. No wonder my dentist loves me!
So, what is the worse/best gift you got from the Arab Santa Clause?
Blah Blah, Culture, Random Thoughts, Thank you, They said what?, Whatever!

I looove FouseyTube!! All of his videos are... 
I guess the best gift was no doubt konafa from egypt mmmm
The worst gift by far has to be this huge ugly red frumpy prayer garment from saudi and everytime I used it the red/maroon colour and weird flowers were so distracting that I lost concentration and was obsessing on how ugly it was – I gave it away!!!
@Mahsa
Interesting gifts that you have recieved… but red/maroon prayer garment? White is the way to go.. you feel angelic and not distracted by devilish colours..
what were they thinking??
La paix, c’est ce qui reste quand on s’est partagé le gâteau.
Trust me the person in question who gave me the garment hated my guts!!! Maybe the red symbolises something more sinister in her intentions…
I agree white is the way to go
One time I got a sucky huge ass yellow sweater, and I didn’t know if I wanted to vomit (VOMIT?)on it, or cut it to pieces to use as wash clothes.
WISDOM: “He who discards a friend for slight offence risks loneliness.”
^ thats myblog or one of his cronies. lol.
@acceptgifts,badorgood
And he who accepts anything has no personality and cannot make their own choices.
I love anyone / friends /relatives if they even offer me a GIFT of desiccated grass with “LOVE”..
What if somebody gifts me with a huge yellow sweater?….
If I don’t like or want to use that, I may keep that with me without thinking any negative about the sweater and the person who gifted that.
I agree I don’t have any personality trait about myself..But I am happy with my life without any stress, anger, depression and tension..
About your harsh response to my comment?…thank you for branding me as a “lack of personality”
May god bless you sister.
