Worst Christmas Present Ever

Postby rocklobster » Fri Dec 29, 2006 5:43 am

Now for the other side of the gift-getting spectrum. What was the worst present you ever received. Mine would have to be from my cousin Brandon. He seems to have a very quirky sense of humor. And maybe he's also a bit lazy. One year, he actually gave everybody fishing lures. The problem? He neglects to remember not everyone in the family likes to fish. This year, he pulled a similar stunt--giving everyone ziploc bags of beef jerky. I don't even think the thought counts in this case folks. He fails worse than Link Antillies.

Oh, boy... Do Dirty Santa gift exchanges count? I once got old tennis shoes with plungers duct-taped to the sides of them. They were supposed to enable one to walk on walls, but instead, they just enabled me to better break my ankles.

[color="RoyalBlue"][font="Trebuchet MS"]The simplest way that I can understand therapy is that we're born a certain way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives trying to unravel it and ultimately align ourselves with who we really are. Life, experiences, traumas -- whatever -- they all add up to make you some altered version of what you are. So there's this battle that goes on between what you are and what you become, and it's been very important for me to unravel what I was taught to be or what I became. and to draw a direct parallel to music -- the closer I get back to being who I really am, the stronger the music gets..." --Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins frontman)[/font][/color]

Once...I got a pack of tissues, four pieces of candy and lip gloss in a ziploc bag from some friend. Incidentally, my worst presents come from my friends. I guess the only redeeming part was that the tissue paper was scented and had designs on it.

Yeah, I felt special that Christmas.

I can't think of anything horrible I've gotten.

Diaries. I don't get them so much anymore, but I used to get at least one each year. >_O I have a journal on my compy...so they're pretty useless. And the lined paper makes them unsuitable for drawings.

I once got After-shave, despite having a beard for more than two years. I hardly use it.

That sounds like some was hinting that you ought to shave a little is my thought.

Myself,I can't think of anything in particuliar though I always seem to get underwear and socks that tend to disappear within months.(The socks not the underwear)

Worst one, huh? Let me think...

Hah, got it. XD This year, I got this big package...of scissors. It was the most bizarre gift. XD I was like..."Well...I should say thank you...but...what am I supposed to do with these??" XD It was pretty weird. I mean, it's not like I'm a seamstress or someone who works with crafts and paper a lot. XD It was just weird. So, I gave them to my mom's friend, who teaches second graders. She loved it. XD

Hmmm. . . probably this one year when we were all younger-- I think I must have been ten or eleven and my younger sister was eight or nine, she saved up $40 and gave my little brother a playstation for Christmas. Nice, right? Except the only way she could do that was if she put all the money she was going to spend on me into his playstation fund. She ended up giving me a five dollar necklace that turned yellow shortly after I recieved it. I was very upset with her that Christmas.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

The presents I get are usually good, or I forget them anyway if they're not. Usually the bad stuff is the granny sweaters/hot pink or model type purses. Give me items I can actually use, people. I guess the really girly items are just hints they want me to stop being such a tomboy... :sweat:

One year when I was about 16, I got interchangeable New Kids on the Block Swatch watches. This was when NKOTB was highly popular... but not with me. I despised them, actually.

Yep, that pretty much takes the cake for my worst Christmas present ever. :lol:

My Dad wrapped a roll of toilet paper and put it under the tree once, like when I was 6. My Dad likes to joke around a lot, if you couldn't tell. >.>

Mine was when I was 14(last year) and my Mom found my Blankies next to me and when I went off to play with my CDs she took them and wraped them and placed them under the tree saying "From Santa" -_-; So when my Entire family was around to open presents I saw that one and decided to open it and Well I saw what they where and paniced then I randomly sat on them to make it look like nothing was in there.

I still have not gotten her back for that. >.<
