Worst Christmas present? ANYTHING from somebody who has a crush on me when I want to pursue a relationship with somebody else. No matter what this type of person gives, the recipient feels obligated to reciprocate. Then, whatever the response (even "Um, thanks."), the one with the crush sees it as a sign of affection, fueling the fire of a relationship that isn't really happening. This may sound stupid, but it's a very real phenomenon, especially in a singles ward, and especially when the ratio of women to men is about 3 to 1.
When I was 14 my married cousin gave me some makeup. My father didn't allow us girls to wear makeup until our Senior year in high school.
My ex mother-in-law gave me a childs plastic purse. Then my exhusband got mad when I wouldn't use it! Give me a break.
FarSeer, send me the fruitcake ~ I love it!! Yep I do, I know I am weird. I just can't eat the ones that are soaked in booze. I am allergic to alcohol and I don't drink it anyway.
Underwear. There is nothing more embarassing than sitting around a bunch of family and opening up a package that has underwear of any sort in it. I do not want the world, whether they're family or not, knowing what I wear underneath my clothes.
One year one of my grandmother's gave my brother a carton of cigerettes. Granted, I appal smoking, but that just seems...bleh. He wasn't even 18, which is the legal smoking age. Great influence there, huh?
The worst gift I have ever received was a Chip n' Dales calendar for Christmas last year. It would have been funny if my family and some of their friends hadn't been present. I was so embarrassed that I didn't know what to say or do; my face must have been the brightest red ever seen on human skin!
