More on hideous craft gifts.

Dear Amy: I was married in the early 70s. After my husband and I had opened a number of unusual wedding gifts, I carefully pulled back the tissue paper to reveal a life-size ceramic horse's head that my mother's best friend had made.

All I could think of was the horrific horse-head-in-bed-scene from the movie "The Godfather"! I mustered a "thank-you" and pulled the tissue back over it forever.

-- Not in "The Family"

Dear Not: After the gift opening, I can only assume that you two newlyweds went directly "to the mattresses."
