Show me your worst

Looking for whomever can lay claim to the absolute worst Christmas present and what it was (as well as why you can stake claim as it being the worst).

What's the absolute worst Christmas present you ever got, and why was it the worst?

Forum bump as he tries to think about what his own personal worst was and who might have been the one to give it....

A fuzzy purple vest. Think Sonny Bono in the 60's early 70's. It was hideous.

Being Jewish, Santa was never a part of my families' tradititions, but being a normal kid, I hung a stocking every Christmas Eve...'just in case'...
Every Christmas morning I awoke to find an onion in the stocking... a gift from my father... who was trying to make some kind of point...
This continued as a tradition.... when I had my own kids, they also hung stocking... they also found an onion in the morning... and they knew it was from a loving grandfather that had long departed from us.
They also found toys and candies.... Santa DOES come to Jewish kids whose parents are open minded...
Christmas is fun! I personally love it... and I love onions!

Cant really think of one.  I got ones I dont care for, and ones that I never use.  But I dont do worst.  Each is given with love, and therefore, they are appreciated!

One bag of microwave popcorn and 6 corn on the cob holders. Did the person who gave me this gift expect me to hold the popcorn with the corn on the cob holders?

Here's hoping word doesn't get back to my Grandmother on this one....

Actually one of my worst gifts ever came just this year, today in fact. I'm not sure if it was a joke, or part of a bigger signal telling me that my remaining grandmother would like more attention thrown her way, but this year gift from her was a small "goody bag" filled with some candies of a non-memorable type.

That sounds fine and well, but the in the same package was a small bottle. Check the bottle out and find it's Castor Oil.

Hmmm, just what kind of message is Grandma sending me here?


There were some other memorable klunkers along the way, though my advancing age seems to be catching up with me a bit and I'm not remembering things as easily as it seems Little_Whip was able to. (That story was sad!!)

Nothing.

That's what I got one year. My parents bought crack instead.

That was a good year.

But the gifts...not so good.

After that....what more can be said here? I'm so sorry that happened to you. My heart breaks when I hear that type of thing.

I only hope that you (if you have kids today) don't pass that legacy onto them and they are much better for what you've been through.

What a great answer!! I'll think of that when I think of the ab roller David got me last year.....still sitting behind the recliner.
