boys... beware. dropping the ball on xmas can quickly make you single. how about some funny bad xmas gift stories?
my friend last night broke up with her boyfriend because her boyfriend screwed up royally.
here's a lil backstory. this guy is SUPER wealthy and pays attention to detail... she was freaking out because what do you get a guy who has everything? they love playing card games and dominoes and he kept mentioning that he used to have a double 9 domino set when he was a kid.
so, she went out and found the nicest custom engraved double 9 dominoes in a beautiful box and and some like 400 dollar cyrstal scotch glasses because he loves scotch.
he gave her one of the corporate cards he sent out to everyone, crossed out the printed name and wrote "love (guys name)" below the crossed out name.
he's definately on the market again.

anyone who drops $400 on a set of glasses should be punched in the crotch.

weeeell that was very insensitive of him, but she sounds kind of shallow.... christmas isn't all about gifts anyways and maybe he was planning something great and that was just to throw her off?

"christmas isn't all about gifts anyways..."
It's much more about outdrinking friends and family and making them hate you so that when 2005 rolls around and they still hate you, you can say "That was last year!"

im lucky i havent had any too bad.
although in high school a friend bought me a jewelry box and wrapped it up nice.. but must have dropped the box off of a 400 story building, because the thing was completely shattered inside.

The worst present I ever got was from my grandparents. I was about 10 years old. I was always musically inclined, but not to the point where I could get a new instrument and play it right off the bat. Maybe a guitar or a drum, but they didn't just get me a drum or a guitar... they got me an accordeon! The kind they play in Polka bands. The worst part is, it was a very nice, very expensive accordeon.
I didn't want to hurt their feelings so I pretended it was the greatest gift ever. And after that, every time my grandparents came over for a visit, they asked me to play on the accordion, and I'd sit there like a circus monkey, pulling and pushing this huge red accordeon thing that kinda looked like a radiator.
So farging rediculous. Thank God my dad was a guitar player and made me never play the acordian again. haha. I think my grandparents didn't want to see me grow up to be a rock-n-roller, so they got me this. haha.

The scotch thing really begs the question:
Is drinking cheap scotch out of $400 glasses better or worse than drinking $400 scotch off a hooker's butt?

i sem to get A LOT of really ugly clothes from my parents EVERY CHRISTMAS. i'm talking like green and aqua striped XXXL Nautica Polo shirts with the fucking logo plastered across the chest. and others like the american flag tommy hillfiger shirt (of course XXXL) with the words TOMMY so big on the front and back that someone could read it from 6 blocks away. What the fuck are they thinking. i don't ever, nor have i ever, worn any type of clothing that even comes close to that shit. it goes straight to good will. part of the reason for my presents this year i guess : )
they try i guess.

the bigger question is...this couldn't possibly have come out of the blue. he is obviously not a very thoughtful individual, so what happened that her barometer was so far off?
hmm

He just pulled off one of the oldest tricks in the book. Get the gf to break up with you so you don't have to spend any money on her for xmas! Now he's in Aspen buying hookers...
A lot of people that are rich are that way for a reason, they make money and they don't spend money.

haha!
i guess on bad gift i got was a jacket made for a 50 year-old woman, brown with big gold buttons and the biggest shoulder pads i'd ever seen.
god bless the 80s, and a sister who buys others what she really wants ;)

my godmother, bless her sweet heart, is the worst gift giver. At least for me (although admittedly, she did do well a few times). two that stick out from memory are:
a purple-dyed snake skin purse. I neither wear anything with animal prints nor do i ever carry a purse.
this one is still the best in my opinion: a scratchy, flammable night garment that had handsies, feetsies and a hood (i was 15 at the time). My godfather got on the phone to apologize and say,"I don't know why your [godmother] thinks you're so ashamed of your skin."
