Then I worked at a company once that had the stupidest Christmas tradition ever. Totally over the top MEAN and NASTY. The whole department bought gifts for each other, after drawing names. Then we all sat down after opening our gifts, and drew numbers.

Now get this: If I drew the number (1), I would have the option of
A. Taking another person's gift and giving them mine, or
B. Keeping my gift, and then it is #2's turn.

Which would have been no big deal if all the gifts were equally nice or appropriate, but they were not. You could wind up with a potholder, or a Walkman. So the person who drew the last number of course could choose whichever gift they wanted.

Dumb.

*sheepy quickly unwraps the Santa and Mrs Claus Toilet seat set and puts it aside for someone else*....DOH !!

LOL....C'mon !!..what did ewe do with the condiment set ?...LOL


Oooh !!..that does sound like a meanypoos kind of christmas tradition at the Company !!..still...I suppose it was to elevate tension and adrenalin.....sounds lie it worked !!....but it was a bit of a ' yah boo sucks ' kind of thing !!

THANK EWE LUNAR FEMME !!

My mum once gave me an Alice in Wonderland jigsaw puzzle book (each of the pages had a jigsaw puzzle in it). This was a crappy gift for at least two reasons:

1. I've never been a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland (not that I don't like it, but it's not one of my all-time favourite books, if you get what I mean).

2. I was 24 or 25 at the time.



I seriously don't know what she was thinking. I considered selling it on ebay several times, but ended up re-gifting it to my niece last Christmas. She appreciated it in a way I never could. That's the only gift I've ever re-gifted.

The new dumbest gift is the duct tape wallet my sister got me. It's a wallet made of 100% duct tape. It was also already peeling apart when I unwraped it. I thanked her for it, but I absolutly hate it.

I am an atheist. My friend gave me a coffee table tome entiled "The Bible According to Charlton Heston" , or something. Really dumb gift. An actual bible would have been nice. That was last year.
This year she gave me "My Life Without God" ,about an atheist who becomes born again. She is a kind and thoughtful person, but a control freak too.

I bought a strange elephant hat because I thought it was funny. A close friend of mine who didn't understand my religious sensibilities that well got the wrong idea and told lots of people I prayed to the Hindu god Ganesha. Consequently I got lots of presents on my birthday connected to Ganesha. One of them was a shiny plastic idol with flashing LEDs. There was a dial that you could turn up to make the lights flash faster in tune with your state of rapture. I loved it for the kitsch value and it also has to be the most ridiculous present I've ever received. An action figure Freud comes second.

I remember when I was a kid, I recieved this really ugly pair of bell bottoms and I told my mother"these are out of style I'm not wearing them" but she made me wear them anyways because they were from my aunt(her sister).
