Accepting Chistmas Gift

Lighthearted thread.
For the last few years I have asked for a unicycle from Father Christmas and have always been disappointed.
This year year during a drink filled visit to our local village pub my darling brother has ordered said unicycle and it has been delivered today to his address.
Do I politely accept the unicycle and hope I may one day be able to ride it or do I graciously decline said gift so that maybe he might be able to return it.
We're both in our fifties and there is the possibility that our ten year old niece could make use of it.

Am I being ungrateful or do I accept my circus days are over?

Keep it.
Be the best damn unicyclist you can be.
Live the dream.

Keep it and practice every day until you can ride it to the local shop.

Live the dream!

You realise you've totally outed yourself?! If any MNer sees a woman trying to learn to ride a unicycle in the near future they'll know it's you Xmas Grin

It sounds great fun - and good luck Bike (sorry this one's got two wheels!)
