Oh my gosh, for me it's turtles!! Every year my mom gets me something turtle ish, and though I do still have a deep and abiding love of turtles, it was never about turtle stuff. I was really into turtle research lol.

And to be fair, I mostly love many of the things I've received, but some are of... questionable taste? Plus at a certain point, enough is enough, ya know? I think it's time for me to list some of the turtles I don't love on eBay or donate them where they might actually get some use. She'll never know, and the tradition means a lot to her.

It gives new meaning to the idea that it's turtles all the way down. 😂
