The worst present I ever recieved was from my grandmother. She just threw some random junk in a bag and gave it to me. The junk included, old body spray that I was allegric to, gloves that were an XL (I wear a small/med), an old barette (my hair is to short for anything but headbands), and a mary kay lip kit without the lip stick! The worst part was that she acted all excited about the gift. I also recieved the best present that year as well. My other grandmother had hand knitted me a scarf (I love scarves!) that I knew I was getting, but also she knitted me a blanket out of some yarn that I had mentioned liking about 4 weeks before Christmas. Since it was a large blanket I knew she had stayed up late for a few weeks knitting it for me so that I could take it back to school with me.

My husband and I have so much fun just before Christmas guessing what his parents will get me this year, we rarely guess right though his Mom has quite a knack for topping her useless gifts year after year. What makes it so funny is that she spends $500 on each of us each Xmas. If useless wasn't bad enough try $500 of various useless things each year. The best year would have to be the year she tried clothing. She being a size 0 thought that maybe I should aspire to be closer to her size so she bought everything in a size 2, I am a size 6. She bought four pairs of the same pants but in different colors, bright colors. All were capris which I don't wear. The same ugly colorful striped sweater to match each pair of pants in bright red, orange, pea green and pink. Box after box I opened to once again hide my laughter. Last year I actually started hiding my gifts around the room so that I didn't have to open them.

The first year my husband and i were married he bought me a 7 piece dewalt tool set, which included a drill, a saw of some kind, another saw of a different type, and like rechargeable batteries or something. I was so mad and later that day I walked in on him telling my dad how everyone at work had this tool set.!!!

On Christmas Eve, Father went out and fired off a gun outside. Came back in and said Santa just committed suicide so there's not Christmas. One year, he convinced us that Christmas was actually on December 27th so he could shop for all the sales on December 26th. Funny enough???? Sad but true.

We were at a Christmas party with tons of food and snacks, etc. After picking numbers, we got to go get the gift the number corresponded with. I bought a $20 gift (which was the limit), but got a bag with three cookies in it. It was from the same batch that we were eating at the party. I could have gotten 20 cookies if I had wanted them, but to get three more, I was like hmmmm? Anyway. Like they say, it's better to give than receive. :~)

One year, a few years after my parents divorced, my mom asked me to carry a folded note up to my grandma's house and hand it to my dad when he came for my weekend visit. Of course, being 8, I read it on the way. I was still so upset over the divorce and I felt sure the note was either something they were fighting about or something about me. I had to know. Turns out, it was the list of presents she had bought me and the list of gifts she was telling him to buy me. Wow. In one fell swoop I had ruined not only that Christmas but every Christmas yet to come. I had ruined the surprise of knowing what I would get that year, since I'd seen the complete list, and I'd blown the entire Santa myth right out of the water, with no one there to explain it or lessen the blow. I had to stop halfway there and sit down and cry. It was years before I ever admitted I knew about Santa, so I felt like a horrible, faking sham every year between there because I knew ... and I couldn't tell how I knew. It still makes me kind of sad.

A small packet of items from my aunt which led me to believe she thought I was either a 3-year old girl, or a 18 year old gun enthusiast
