weirdcal Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 When I was in Primary School I one got the same WWF pencil case from 2 family members at Christmas. It wasn't even the Ultimate Warrior! It was Macho Man Randy Savage. Macho Fucking Man Randy Savage. ^^^ Billy dodds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Anything home knitted. Jumpers, scarves, anything. You just know that someone put a whole bunch of time, effort and possibly love into it and yet, they're always hideous. And other than the Christmas day sesh down the pub, you're never going to wear whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 And anybody who gives a child school supplies for Christmas should have lumps of coal thrown at them. To quote the greatest philosopher of our time (Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes), Christmas is for wants, not needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Taj Mahal was never built. Think we still have a 3D Vatican puzzle from a super catholic relative sitting in its box/shrink wrap in the loft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I didn't think people actually did that in real life Chuckle. Which? The home knitting or the traditional wearing-of-the-hideous-clothing-gifts-to-the-pub? Fortunately, nobody has knitted me anything in several years but yes, my friends and I always had the ritual of wearing whatever clothes you received to the pub. I've gone out in slippers, multiple ties, too many awful shirts to count and on one memorable occasion, a balaclava and gloves. It has to be done.

paranoid android Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I came home from work today to find that I'd received a parcel - quite a big one, which I was not expecting. A box of 12 bottles of fine ales - from my line manager! Incredible scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I remember the year I got a Top of the Pops album from my auntie. "Not original artists". Fair to say I didn't do a good job of hiding my disgust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munter Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Worst ever was a small packet from my auntie to say that she was sending all her Christmas present money to charity this year and so it was just a small token gift. Could have had a whoopie cushion or something, but no to make matters worse her gift was an orange peeler. I mean what does a 7 year old, or anyone for that matter, need a plastic orange peeler for? It's like one of those failed ideas from dragons den.... I'm still deeply affected by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 One year my aunt ( wonderful woman, heart of gold but not all there, bless her soul she died far too young) got me a Madonna CD - wild dancing I think it was. Looked very strange next to the other albums I got that year. ....and justice for all and God says no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
