THE WORST XMAS GIFTS

Reddit asked, “What’s the worst Christmas gift you ever got?” Some of the responses:
– “My parents got me a Cards Against Humanity deck. Right after I opened it, they told me I’m not allowed to play it until I turn 18. I was 15 at the time.”
– “Book about how to take criticism, gifted to me by my mother-in-law.”
– “It was the first Christmas my father and current stepmother had together. Each of my stepsiblings got a new laptop, while I got a $20 gift card to McDonald’s.”
– “Grandma got me a pair of jeans that were way too small with a card that read, ‘Lose some weight, then maybe you will fit into these.'”
– “We were at my grandmother’s house for Christmas morning. All of the family was there, and there was a big, gorgeous pile of presents wrapped in the corner. We were promptly told that those gifts were for the other grandchildren. When we gave our grandma the blank stare of confused children, she hurried back into her room, then came back out, threw an old ziplock bag down on the ground between us full of half-used nail polish and broken jewelry and told us, ‘Merry Christmas.'”
– “I got a fake beer can full of handkerchiefs when I was like 14.”
– “I got piles and piles and piles of Star Trek toys when I was like 10 or something. Star Trek action figures. Star Trek Micro Machines. Die-cast Star Trek ships. Star Trek puzzles. Star Trek everything….I asked for Star Wars toys.”
– “When I was about 10, my grandma sent presents from overseas for us to open. My brother opened his first, and it was a really cool, old-school toy. I opened mine, and it was a bunch of doilies. Lace doilies. I literally cried.”
