SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, But Rita Got Returned To Wal-Mart OMAHA, Nebraska (Reuters) - A Nebraska woman who received an ornate box for Christmas and returned it to Wal-Mart without looking inside discovered later it contained the ashes of her recently deceased sister, a newspaper reported on Friday.  Judy Money received the box as a gift from her brother who lives in Iowa.  But after unwrapping the package on Christmas Eve she saw the box had a broken knob and decided to return it to Wal-Mart without ever looking at the contents inside, the Omaha World-Herald reported.  When Money later confessed to her brother that she had returned his gift, he told her the box contained the ashes of their sister, who had died Dec. 11, the Herald said.  Marvin Tippery, Money's brother, told the Herald he was shocked when he found out she had returned the box.  "No, no, you didn't! Your sister was in there," the Herald quoted him as telling Money.  Money told the Herald she made a mad dash back to Wal-Mart, but the box had already been thrown out with the trash.  Money and her brother finally found the box on Thursday amid trash piles at an area landfill.  "My prayers have been answered," she told the Herald.  "Just the thought of having her in the dump was awful."


Sister Was Located in a Landfill by Jack the Sailor

Sister was located in a landfill
When she was returned on boxing day
You can we she don't deserve a refund
cause the ashes were put in the box that way

Well the handle it was broken
When Judy unwrapped her Christmas Prez
But her sister was inside it
At least that is what her brother sez

When he found out three days later
When he told her the contents of the case
She returned to the refund desk at Walmart
She almost tore a new door in the place

CHORUS

Its a boxing day tradition
to bring tacky presents back
Who can blame her if she didn't like it
Brought it back and bought a pair of slacks.

CHORUS

Now were all so proud of Judy
Sifting through the garbage on her knees
Til she and brother found the ashes in Nebraska
In the landfill pretty as you please

CHORUS

Now the box is on the table
And Judy really starts to burn
Saying brother we'd not have gone through all this trouble
If only you had sent her in an urn.

CHORUS

I warn all you friends and neighbors
Check every Christmas present with your eyes
Especially when they're coming from a brother
Who'd send you some remains for a surprise!

CHORUS
