Clever Wife..

There was a man who had worked hard all of his life and saved all of his money.   He was a real miser when it came to money.   When he became ill and knew he was dying he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die,   I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I want  to take my money to the afterlife."   His wife gave  her promise that when he died,   She would put all his money into the casket with him.   A week later he died. On the day of her husband's funeral his wife was sitting next  to her best friend and just before the undertaker closed the casket she called out "Please, Wait a minute!" walked over to the casket and placed a small  brass finished box inside.    The undertaker then locked the casket down and rolled it away.   The next day her friend came around to visit and said,   "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all of his money in the casket."   "I promised." The widow  replied   "I'm a good Christian and I couldn't lie I promised him I would  put  all of his money into the  casket with him, so I did."   "You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in that casket with him?"   "Yes" said his wife . "I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a cheque, I thought if he can cash it he can spend it"

Father videotapes his children coming down stairs on Christmas morning... over 25 years

By Daily Mail Reporter

Last updated at 2:50 AM on 26th December 2011

Every family has its quirky traditions and although they may not be appreciated at the time, years later they can reveal something magical. 

Writer Nick Confalone edited the home video footage his father filmed every December 25 to chart his sister and himself growing up over a quarter of a century.

The footage, which was posted on YouTube, shows the changes in their family's lives over 25 years.

Scroll down for video

Early tradition: From 1985, the father filmed his young family on Christmas morning heading down to the tree

From the very beginning: The YouTube video shows the brother and sister being filmed coming down the stairs at the family home on Christmas morning

The film begins in 1985 and shows the two children clambering down the staircase in their onesie pyjamas as toddlers to see what Santa Claus has left under the Christmas tree.

In the following years, their styles change - as does their willingness to be featured on the home video.

By 1991, a dog has entered the scene and in one of the last scenes, the girl's boyfriend is brought into the family tradition. The tape is accompanied by the song Christmas Time by Vince Guaraldi.

Excitement: The children pose at the bottom of the staircase just before opening their presents

Full of glee: Nick Confalone and his sister in a Santa hat bound down the stairs on December 25

Mr Confalone, who described himself on Twitter as a writer for the Disney Channel cartoon Fish Hooks, explained: 'Every year, for pretty much my entire life, Dad has videotaped me and my sister coming down the stairs on Christmas morning. 

'As teenagers, we begrudgingly accepted our fathers tradition, but as we grew up we realized we were part of something special – dare I say, ''something magical.'''

Awkward moments: In their teenage years, the brother and sister look less willing to feature in their father's Christmas project

How we've changed: The brother and sister looked bemused to be keeping up with the family Christmas tradition

Keeping it up: The siblings imitate the old trick of clambering down the stairs

Changes: Over time, family members and pets come and go - as this year the young woman's boyfriend joins in the family's celebrations

Together again: Writer Nick Confalone who posted the video described the effect of charting his family's lives for a quarter of a century as 'magical

8 Gifts You Should NEVER Give to Your Boss

There are no formal business etiquette "rules" that require anyone to give a gift to a co-worker or boss, but many people do exchange gifts at work. It is important to remember that giving the wrong gift can convey a message that is too personal, romantic, or even offensive. You also run the risk of making the recipient feel uncomfortable if they do not offer you a gift in return, or alienating co-workers if your gift is showy. 

Deciding on the right gift to give can be difficult, but the following gifts are never right: 

1. "Adult" Items: Items that could be considered sexual in nature are inappropriate (and may even be illegal) in the workplace. Anything "adult" in nature should never be given in the workplace setting – even to the closest of co-workers. This not only includes the obvious like pornography and adult "toys," but also includes artwork, books, and any image or rendering that depicts nudity or that may suggest a sexual act. 

2. Gifts That Carry a Discriminating or Demeaning Message: Never give gifts that could be considered offensive to women, minorities, or any race, culture, groups, or individual with disabilities – even if presented in the "spirit of fun." This includes cards, gifts, artwork, caricatures, publications, and any other item that could be interpreted as stereotyping or discriminatory. 

3. Politically-Oriented and Religious Gifts: Unless someone has specifically asked for a particular political or religious item, book, or gift, do not try to guess on one. If you do honor a specific request, keep in mind that the item could still offend someone else in the office and give it wrapped and in private. 

4. Personal Care Products: Grooming items and sundries are generally too personal to give, especially when given to a member of the opposite sex. This includes body and skin care products, perfumes, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, and shaving sundries. That scented hand lotion you love might seem like a good idea but when given to a person with allergies or asthma you are giving a gift that cannot be used. 

5. Intimate Clothing: All under garments, and in most cases, any articles of clothing except for hats, scarves, or gloves are not good gifts to give co-workers or your boss. A corporate T-shirt is acceptable, but may seem a bit on the "cheap" side. 

6. Romantic Jewelry: If you give jewelry, stick to small, casual items and give them only to members of the same sex unless the gift is being given by a group. 

The key to remember when giving jewelry is that some items may be interpreted as a romantic gesture, especially if the jewelry is expensive. The best jewelry items to give are inexpensive or moderately priced watches (including pocket watches) or simple, trendy bracelets or pins. Pearls, diamonds and gemstones are generally not a good idea if the gift is intended as a casual gesture. 


7. Flowers: Do not give roses. It is better to give poinsettias, "lucky" bamboo, or other plants instead of flowers. They last longer and cannot be interpreted as a romantic gesture. 

Casual flowers like daisies, wildflowers, or bulbs the turn into blooms are also fine. (Hint: No one really likes a chia pet.) 


8. Cash: Never give your boss or a co-worker cash (but gift cards are acceptable). Cash should only be given by the company or employer when it is given as a taxable bonus, not as a personal gift. 

Business Gifts Etiquette Tips: Giving no gift at all can be better than giving the wrong gift. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself if the gift is something you would let a child see (even if they would not enjoy the gift itself). If you would not let a child see the gift, it may not be appropriate to give to someone at work.
