I have to think about the word of the year, but talk about funny Christmas presents, and the pig mug: a lovely friend of mine, and she really is a lovely lady, gave me a mug with a picture of a sheep on it. Not a cartoon cute funny sheep, but a real portrait of a sheep, one of those ewes that look at you with contempt. And when I thanked her for the mug, she said, "I thought of you as soon as I saw it."
