This is gonna sound real stupid but...

Diaries. >_<

I used to get at least five of those cursed things every year. My life is hardly interesting enough to fill one.
At the end of the year, I usually ended up selling them.

Heh, underwear definitely makes my list.

My Mom gets me socks and underwear every year simply because we joked about it being the worst present for so long. They're always wrapped very nicely and I never know which package they are. We even have a song for it!

This is more birthdays, but I always hated getting purses.

I used to complain about dress shirts and slacks for Christmas. Now, however, since I'm in a field where I have to actually look professional, I don't complain anymore (as a typical bachelor I'd still go to work in Birkenstocks and shorts if I weren't prohibited from doing so).

Yes..Purses....I get a new purse every christmas, And I usaully don't need it or want it and its usaully not too different from the one I already had, but ohwell...

And has anyone ever gotten Pencils?!
Like sparkly ones or something....

My step mom got me pencils last year -_-

I totally sympathize. And even if my life were interesting enough to fill one, I never get around to writing the stuff down! XD I need one every, eh, four years or so...

Wow. How is that for giving you something you really wanted...

Yea, impossibly small purses irritate me. As well as pens (um, I'm not 12) and usless trinkets, such as... oh, flower sculptures, small boxes, ect. I do not like things like that, I'm rather a minimilist, and can't stand extra clutter.

Im 13.......But still I dont want pencils -_- I mean gawsh...
My b-day is comming up! yay =)!
22 days....
So not only do I get christmas presents, I get birthday presents too =)

Flower sculptures, anyone?

My great-grandma's version of Christmas presents is to pick up some random trinket lying around her house (she has a whole three houses worth of STUFF crammed in there, really), stick it in a box, and give it to you. Sometimes they are rather nice, and sometimes they are hideous. It is always useless, such as figurines, jewelry boxes, jewelry, etc.

Unfortunately, I'm rather sentimental, and feel guilty about giving up even the most useless of presents, so now MY house is cluttered. I'm getting over that though.

pencils, and flashlights. For some reason people seem to think that they are presents. They aren't.

I understand the guilt, but I do not succumb to it. I believe in purging right after christmas. And that includes junky presents. I'll donate them to the local thrift store, or *something*. Because while I may dislike my granny candy dish, or set of KeWL gElL pEnS, or my tiny purse, someone else may love them.

Any sort of clothing.Unless it's a tee shirt of one of my favorite shows.

I really would not want to get a bra for Christmas. Especially because I'm a guy, and have no use for one. (no manboobs here)

happy freakin b-day in 22 days cause I'll prolly miss it. Anyway, I would definently not want underware, buuuuutt one time I got vegetales, I out grew them before they came out...but I did like them somewhat

I actually don't mind pencils and pens; people know I like to draw and write constantly, so I appreciate them and do actually use them. I can see how it would get annoying, though. ^__^

I'm usually actually pretty thrilled with pencils. XD;

What people used to do for me is go to like, the discount bin in a video store and get me something random. XD; I have so many random DVDs that I've never watched. Also, purses and make-up. O_O; I can understand why some people would want them, but I'd think that after all this time my family would have picked up on the fact that I'm not a purse and makeup kind of girl.

....unless you give me an old tube of red lipstick that I can use to draw on my face with. Then I'm ecstatic.

After some thought, I can't say I really receive presents that I don't want. My extended family doesn't really feel that obligated to give gifts to everyone, and hence there are fewer bad gifts.

However, I can confidently say I would never want out of date Cheerios for Christmas.

i love cheerios... if you got them out of date they'd be very hard and good to make a necklace with

~NL~

Has anyone ever had fried* cheerios? my mom does that, i forgot what they are actaully called -_-

Are they made with real friends?

Wednesday: "Are your girl scout cookies made with real girl scouts?"

I did not need that mental picture, Kaligraphic.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHHA! Hahaha, I got underwear last year! Hahaha, so did all my other girl cousins. We all just laughed, they are nice though... >_>;;

^lol, I was laughing with my mom about this. She got underware until she was 17 or so, but we said once you like frilly stuff, they quit giving it to you!

For a while my brother and I mused about giving my sister a stale, partially eaten muffin as a joke present, and then giving her the real one. We decided that while her reaction might have been fun to watch, she really wasn't the sort of person who would take the joke well.
