Worst Christmas presents 2008

[Lockhouse]

I did a secret santa with the missus and 2 kids (21 and 18) this year so everyone got what they wanted (from a supplied list) and no-one spent silly money - we had a budget of £45 max.

I got everything on my list; The Mighty Boosh boxed set, the new Neal Stephenson novel and a biography of Roger Corman. Sorted.

Shall I save it and return it to that special person for next xmas,...

Top tip for those with seperated parents - stagger your Christmas's and you can turn around those unwanted presents in double quick time

It's taken me a while to calm down after receiving this present:

Matalan tie and cufflinks set, in a presentation box.

It is without doubt quite the most offensive tie I've ever seen.

Not even a tie clip with it.

Shall I save it and return it to that special person for next xmas, or get with the spirit and just give it to the charity shop now to inflict it on some poor unfortunate in Africa?

I got the impression you were female... or is that just when you post at weekends??

Save it and wear it the next time that special person invites you to an important occasion. Ingrate!

Sod all from the missus. 3 DVDs of the A-Team from the son along with a 3 CD collection of music for over 30's (Ü-30 parties are a big thing over here but the music is terrible but women are plentiful like fleas round a camels backside.) Bottle of Krimsekt from the in-laws and a Terry Pratchett book from the missuses brother (already got it but didn't want to say as he had searched hard for a book in English.) The missus reckons the €3200 I spent on winter wheels and tyres was enough
