Worst Christmas present you've received

One year I received a pack of tissues from my sister.
Of course, that doesn't compare with the time she gave me a Christmas Card in which she wrote "You suck."
But nowadays she gives me good stuff, like CDs.

Once for christmas my grandpa wrapped up a bunch of books from the library and gave them to my grandma. Then reminded her that she needed to return them in time.

a couple of yrs ago, my husband step grandmother got everyone a huge box of act II popcorn, even the kids. We ended up with about 40 bags. Hummmm I guess she thought we liked a lot of popcorn

Wow, I guess I am lucky, I cannot say that I have ever gotten a BAD Christmas present, I mean it is FREE.
If I had to pick a worst it would be having the luxury of spending Christmas Eve/Christmas day working with a bunch of people I really didn't care for.
Now the best gift would probably be something like socks, useful and there isn't generally an issue with the sizes.

We had this thread topic last year and it was just so funny to see what people get from relatives they hardly ever see! My best was a bright purple t-shirt with a big teddy bear and a rainbow on it from my Aunt when I was like 15. At the time I wore all black, had half my head (the underside) shaved and my blond hair was died black. I wore black nail polish and entirely too much mascara and eyeliner. And here was this obnoxiously purple shirt. I called her and thanked her though. This was over 10 years ago and still makes me laugh. I wore the shirt once (to bed) but still have it.

Every year from about 12-18 my granny would give me a $50 gift certificate to "Northern Reflections" an old lady/cottage wear store (like picture purple sweaters with ducks and loons on them and floral printed leggings)...and every year I would buy $50 worth of socks. She meant well at least :) I think the store has gotten slightly more modern since then....but she doesn't get me them anymore :)

Every year i get the same thing from an aunt i never see. the next year's calender, usually christian themed (as if the calender wasn't bad enough). i think she's in denial about my beliefs...
