YOUR MOST UNWISHED GIFT(s)

[AA 1818]

Haha, last year took the cake - On Christmas day, I got news. The stick was blue!

Haha, it sucked, but thank God it was wrong!

Chris, its funny you mentioned socks. That was mine too. Mine, however, ended differently.

About five years ago, we were at my Grandmother's house exchanging gifts for Chanukah. I opened up one of her presents to find three pairs of oddly colored Puma socks. At first I was kind of confused-my grandmother has been known to give some odd gifts (such as paper clip dispensors), and while I am grateful for anything I recieve, but socks? At first I was skeptical of them as I was not accepting of change to things such as style of socks at that age (about 10 or 11). However, they grew on me and about 5 years later, I exclusively wear Puma socks-the same style my Grandmother gave me. I have gotten new pairs from her every year since.

Moral of the story: sometimes good things come in unexpected packages.

Maybe she doesn't know this!

No, she knows. She hope they'd encourage me to not be an exhibitionist.

Probably the Pajama bottoms my mom got me. I sleep naked, so they're pointless.

I gave a gift that became my wife's most unwanted gift. She's never cleaned out a shower, somehow that's my job. I decided to give her a "Scum Buster". It was also the year that all of her family got together. Was she pissed!

Even today, some 8 years later, if you mention the "Scum Buster" she gets mad. And guess what? She still doesn't clean showers!

Christmas is not a championship of running after the best present for anybody important in the familiy or with friends. No, Christmas is more a kind of worldwide aid for the poor who had nothing throughout the year, only the hope for Christmas that their shops and the business will running best, as it didn't all the recent months since last Christmas....

Being left with the option of stating "No Gift for Me, Instead please transfer the money you planned investing for some geniune charities such as Harvest America and Oxfam" well before Dec24th would have been fine

Not sure if I ever had a unwanted gift. All gifts are special to me.

Well said, same here.

You might be a redneck if...

Might be a redneck... you ARE a redneck if....

It wasn't that spectacular but there was lighter fluid and fire involved. Of course I asked my mom before I did it and she was okay with it. She gave them to me as a joke not to actually wear.
