As my family gatherings at Christmas are always quite large(usually 100 to 200 people) there are always bound to be some embarrasing gifts every time the presents are unwrapped. And being considered quite mature people, we usually see the humor in everything. However, last year's Christmas present definitely topped them all.

My husband and I had just had our fifth child and we had recently been discussing how we wanted to wait a little longer before adding the next addition onto the family. On Christmas morning, sure enough, we each had a small package in our stocking, mine round and his a rectangular box. The entire room grew silent and then burst into laughter, as we opened the packages and were faced with birth control pills and condoms!
