The sh1ttiest present you ever got.

Vests, and from my godmother. Wouldn't mind I was like 12 and it was obvious I was wearing bras by then (early developer :-D) yeah, she was a cow xD

Have not enjoyed going to sleep since I can remember and this maybe the other end of the stick but...When I was about 3 yrs I snuck under the pine to see if Santa had come. He hadn't but what I did notice was my brothers(1.5 yrs, plus, staggered, x 2) presents too me under the tree. For my lack of foresight it had not occurred to me to get any one any gift. So a great sadness and of failing my brothers over came me. At maybe 5 in the morning I found a roll of clear tape and some "Din keys" that belonged to said brothers. I felt so proud to be giving gifts(even if they were wrapped an inch thick). This feeling of giving was confirmed by my brothers expression of joy at these gifts. Though after 20 mins of peeling and cutting clear sellotape from a block only to discover their old toy's. Was in fairness a look of "**** you" but 'impressed by your patience with the sellotape'

A certain Grandmother who thought she was shít hot at arts and crafts made a "potato snowman" for me. Whilst it was a grateful relief from weird coloured socks, unfortunately said potato man was made and wrapped weeks in advance of Christmas with no preservatives added. It was well rotting by the time I got it on Christmas Day and I wish she had just emptied the contents of her Depends diapers into the wrapping paper. Wouldn't have smelled, felt or looked as bad.

Haha! it wasn't easy. One arm was actually broke and the other fractured, so I only had a cast on one arm. Have a ****ty scar on my arm to remind me of my Mothers lovely present.

A fracture is the medical term for a break. If your break was above the elbow, they don't cast it anymore, as rehabillitation after immobilization takes too long. I met a girl at the fracture clinic with a broken collar bone and she had no cast. Imagine how painful it was for her! It's amazing the number of folk think that a fracture is when the break is in bits...not so. I had a type one fracture of the radius at the elbow and they didn't cast it, just a sling. Dead sore, I still can't straighten my arm.

I think it was about 2 years ago, my dad got my mam about 5 empty cereal boxes which he had been collecting over the past few weeks.

They were all wrapped and all, oh the disappointed look.

Why though?
Was it a wind up to annoy her?

My aunt gave me a Shrek head that went on the end of pen/pencil. This might have been ok for a 5 year old but I was in Leaving Cert at the time.

Not only was it crap, she made me put it on the end of a pencil and write something with it. This thing weighed a metric tonne and made it nigh on impossible to actually balance the pencil in your hand.

Just an illusion, just false hopes...instead of being honest, telling me, that pets are not supposed to be a present for christmas

pets aren't just for Christmas, they also make great cold cuts on Stephens's day as well

All just a wind up, he was acting like he got something brilliant all year.
On Christmas Eve he put all the "presents" under the tree, about 15 in all.


She was so excited about getting so many presents, takin the píss outta me tellin me he loves her so much n all.


You should've seen her face when she opened them.

Years ago my sons bought me a cheap (under €2) potato peeler for Christmas. They had run out of money after buying their absent useless dad a really nice present. Wasnt too annoyed coz needed one but was when it fell apart a few weeks later. :-(

Our family does Kris Kindle and my youngest son is responsible for picking the names and texting people who they have etc. Last year he text my brother saying that he had "mum" meaning me but my brother bought our mother a present instead and so did one of my other family members so I got nothing. :-(

This year my sons are making up for things by getting me a Kindle Fire or a Nexus! Nice!

And it seems my mum has me for KK and my older bro had to stop me buying a new phone a few weeks ago by telling me my mum has gotten me the Samsung Galaxy SIII mini!

Great Christmas ahead for me!

The present I hated the most was something my first boyfriend got me when I was about 21 or 22. I'd been a good catholic girl until I started going out with him, and he was always going on about how he was so pleased that it was him who had gotten to corrupt me. One birthday he got me a statue as a present. That would have been bad enough, as I'm not the sort of person who collects statues, so at best it would have been a boring present for me. But worse was that it was a statue of a female bear, dressed in a nun's habit, lifting up her skirt to show slutty lingerie underneath. He said the bear reminded him of me. I didn't like it but while we were going out I kept it for appearance's sake. Then when we broke up I finally got to throw it out of a top-floor window and see it shatter into peices.
