You can't always get what you want

You know what I am talking about - those Christmas presents that you never wanted, don't want, and are not quite sure how to react when you receive them.  

The look on my mom's face from this 1967 Christmas image is priceless.  A nut boat - just what I have always wanted!  

Since we are on the subject of Mom, I am going to sneak in a fashion focus of the Countdown.  This image is Mom from 1971 in the autumnal striped caftan dress.

And the 1974 Simplicity Pattern of the Day - the same fabric!
