Worst... Xmas Presents... Ever

When I was 13, I really wanted an electric guitar for Christmas.

That morning, my sister barged into my room at 6 a.m. to wake me up, shouting, "You won't believe what they got you!" I just wanted to sleep, but I got up, very groggy, and staggered into the living room, where a gleaming blue electric guitar was leaning against the wall.

Excited, I ran over to it and grabbed it from the wall. Immediately I realized I'd been had -- my parents had purchased me a cardboard cutout of an electric guitar.

I was very, very pissed at the time. But I think it's great now, almost 20 years later.

That's pretty awesome; sounds like a great way to make a serial killer.

Worst present I can think of off the top of my head was a two-for-one coupon from a flyer for one of those '3d turbo rides' in a nearby mall.

I spent $2 on my best friends gift this year, though it was a gold zippo. I got three others too. For his birthday last year I gave him handcuff keys. He always loves my gifts, despite the horrible cheapness of them.

I think last years Tsunami was a pretty crappy Xmas present.

I'm holding out for not receiving any presents. I hate the materialism and getting stuff I don't want.

I got a jar of peanut butter when I was about 11 from my megatazillionaire aunt that used to babysit me, she said it was because all I ever wanted to eat for lunch was PB&J sandwiches.

When I was 14 I got a pack of 101 Dalmation trading cards from my aunt.

you sound like a brat.
also, knowing you got them what you think is an awesome present should be pleasing enough to make up for receiving something you weren't very excited about.

I didn't get any p***r stuff. I'm happy.
