Worst Christmas presents

[Frank Gallagher]

well, i'll now cease being the bearer of bad jokes

let me wake up first and i'll get back to you

Quite simple.
For years had a mate and his family ask me to the IOM and mates asking me to their place over here. Tell the IOM mates you're going to mates over here and vice versa.
Never give cards/presents at Christmas. At some random time of the year give them cash to sort the kids something for birthdays and the thing you don't do.
Family - none of mine are alive or speak to me except one son who abhors Christmas as much as me.
Turn phones off, stay in bed with plentiful supplies of coffee pods, cigarettes and a decent book.

Hope that helps

Sounds like too much effort that.

My sister bought me a small wooden duck once...just what I've always wanted.

An ex's mum and dad bought me a tow rope and a sponge combo...they did hate me like.

I think I bought that duck from a charity shop!

Neither a giver nor receiver be - disappointment will never occur.

Got a towel off my mum last year....Didn't know what to say tbh

So your Dad is in Scotland and didnt attend his own sons wedding, whilst your own mother knows you wont understand a metaphor so just throws in the towel for you.

Your work mates dont like you and you dont have anyone to take on a stag do...

Time to plan for a better 2017.

Best of luck...oh and congratulations for the 'wedding'.

I love getting socks and jocks. Genuinely. I never buy any for myself and am always running short by this time of year

Nice to see I'm not the only one who enjoys receiving socks and boxies for Christmas.

They have to be good ones though, no jarg novelty items thanks.

It is a strain..

I very rarely get bad presents, as I always have a reading list and just ask for books that I want.

Although my Nan used to knit me a jumper every year, that didn't fit over your head, right up until her death in 2009.

You had to wear the jumper during the Christmas meal to keep her happy, despite the fact that it was that tight round your neck, you felt like you were being strangled by Fred West.

I once got a scratch card , as did my kids . This was the year I spent quite a bit on their kids . Brother-in-law now wonders why he doesn't even get a card off me anymore . Tight wad , he is

It's not bad presents that bother me, it's becoming typecast. For my dad, it's whiskey. Not the worst gift to receive, but he must have a good 10 bottles of glenfiddich in his cupboard.

For me, it's condiments. You know the sort - chilli chutney, miniature bottles of hot sauce and relish. Every year the same thing.

Once, just once, I'd like to get some socks, just for a change.

Mother in law always gets me extremely inexpensive, utterly ill fitting clothes, which I wear for a laugh on Christmas Day, before giving them to charity.

Worst Christmas as a kid, I got a French/English dictionary, and a Yahtzee scorepad. We didn't

My stepsister always buys me crappy gifts.

The worst being the collection of Primo Levi books (holocaust related writings): I can assure you these books are everything but upbeat.

Diabetic. Chocolate does the same, or diabetic sweets !
