I got mine already!
A friend of mine was giving me a Barbara Streisand record full with Christmas songs.
What was she thinking about me? I'm a bit concerned.

Who else got offending gifts for Christmas?

My mother bought me a coffee maker thing last year. Not a great gift for someone who doesn't like coffee

You might have guests.

La Streisand is a class act.

Have you tried playing it backwards?

When I was about 13 my grandparents who I haven't seen for about 20 years bought me a paisley dress with a paper doily collar on. My wonderful mother made me wear it infront of the christmas tree whilst she took a photo so they could think "that you wore it on christmas day"

On my mothers part though she did let me take it off straightaway and we took it back to the shop and got a credit note!

I was hoping for a tamagochi for Christmas, and all I got was a Middle Eastern bloke sacrificing himself to cleanse my sins. I ask you!

my mother made me wear pink gauze fairy wings that came from my new angelina ballerina christmas special... last year.

I'd like the Babs and Barry album

Mister Gibb knows how to put together a big production ballad

I havent opened it yet, but I have a present from my grandparents (sheep farmers from way up north norway) waiting for me, and its soft Last I got from them was a pizza cutter though, they probably thought they had stumbeled on to something new, lol.

Oh god I hope not.... Probably is though, and if it is, I am 99% sure this is what it will look like..........

Maybe it's a little sheep.

This thread makes me realise actually, I've been remarkably lucky pressie-wise.

There was the one time my mum bought me a Crowded House CD, of all things (I was about 12 or 13 I think)... it had been advertised on the telly and I just casually said I liked one of their songs - and I mean casually! - but because SHE liked them herself she went and bought it.
Actually now it comes flooding back, like repressed memory syndrome or something... she got me a Simply Red CD as well!

I made her take them back to the shop - that's quite evil isn't it? But she did the same to me when I got her a jumper and a bathrobe she didn't like. Bitch!

Awww, maybe its the lamb they "gave" me when I was a kid, they said I could call it mine. It was a black one Im pretty sure they ate it, maybe they saved the woll? (was gonna say somthing else, but thats just too nasty)

So I guess she went to a shop on a certain day before X mas. Thinking of you and a present to buy and she goes into this one shop and sees this coffee thingy and thinks.....this is it!!!!!

From the distance - yes.

Trondheim?Lofoten? I wanna move there! Or to Sweden. Still cannot decide
BTW, worst Xm-ASS present was a new violin when I was about 9-10 yearsa old and when all I could think about was how to get out of my (forced) violin lesson!

Strangely the best Christmas present I ever received was a musical instrument (flute) and lessons although I was initially gutted because I had originally really wanted an oboe or a saxophone.

Apparently one of my classmates would have cried if he got some of my presents. Then again, he's not a fiddly techy geek. Today I helped my mother choose me a maths textbook to put under the tree...but I'm just weird

I guess worst is in the eye of the beholder.

motz, i am SERIOUSLY worried now

I got a bottle of shampoo one year. That was odd. I spent all day wondering whether my mum was trying to tell me something or if it was just a weird joke.

f**k christmas!

who needs that economy-powering consumption days????

Santa? The man's gotta earn a living somehow, and work's a bit thin on the ground up in Lapland, I imagine...

Why can't he go work for nokia or so

Can't really thing of a terrible thing I ever got for Christmas, but plenty of years to go to get crap gifts

One of the worst things ever given to me was a projection clock, with big clear orange letters for the time on it, and it projected the same... If there's one thing I can't stand when I'm trying to sleep it's anything that makes light (plus it was oversized and nearly took all of my bed-side table )

But it was orange - I would have thought you would have loved it!
