re: What's the worst gift you've ever gotten for Christmas?

Not me, but my kid. He was around 10 at the time. My wife does the Christmas shopping, and we usually spend around $300 on him. He opens his gifts, and he has a toothbrush, a cheap watch, a t-shirt, and pajama pants. So first he's thinking, okay, where's the big surprise? That was it.

Other family members (like the grandparents) usually just give my wife the money to buy their gifts for him. She didn't realize that she gave all the good stuff to them to give him when he went to their houses. I'm like, "Are you f-ing kidding me? You just ruined Christmas." We start laughing, and he starts laughing, then his laugh turns into a cry.

I went online with him and bought him Need for Speed and one of the steering wheel/foot pedal things to go with it. Turned out to be a cool gift and we wore that thing out, but he didn't get it until a couple days after Christmas. We still laugh our asses off at that.
