**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Well, in my bag of candy/junk, I got almond joys.
I hate coconut

**timetowaste85**

@BBL: Send em my way-I love coconut

my worst gift...my sister's old beat up cell phone that doesn't even work. Then again, it was a physical "IOU" as she is getting me a real cell phone, brand new. So...I guess that'll mean the worst present was really...the toothbrush and floss from my step mom? Of course, she got them for EVERYONE, so does that even really count?

**Footsloggin**

My worst gift was Peeps. Sugar coated marshmallows from hell. Which is why I put them in the microwave, and purge their heresy...

**Mukkin'About**

I'm not sure what my worst one would be actually.

**Portaljacker**

How about getting nothing?

**Eberious**

My worst, doesn't happen. I ask for what I want or just plain money so I get what I want. However there was one year when someone got me a screw driver with all the diferent changeable heads, still that came in handy(no pun intended).

@Portaljacker, no doesnt count as you didnt get anything, however thats harsh, you really didnt get anything??

**Brennus43**

I got a sweatshirt...thing... last year. It was like zip up, it was fleece on the outside but had a liner on the inside. It was red and purple mixed, it also was missing a good 5"x5" patch of the fleece for a breast pocket on the outside, instead it was the same as the inside liner. I'm not sure but I think it was supposed to be for a woman. It was from my aged grandmother so for all I know it was supposed to go to a female relative... It's still in the closet with the tag on it. ._.

**EmilCrane**

No novelty t-shirts this year, thats a first. My worst gift was an order sheet from Maelstrom with a Valkyrie and a demolisher on it and a card saying "They're coming".

Well first off my present expectation is always low as my dad has no clue what to get ever for me for Chanukah. Second, I got a present from my mom and step-dad, $50 and a renew on Scientific American, but nothing from my dad and step-mom who I live with.

**Soladrin**

I got a.... blanket.

When I was about 10 I was given a shaving kit.

I am not quite Robin Williams, but I am not far off...

For me this year it would have to be a box of chocolate covered licorice... I like chocolate and I like licorice, but not together...

It is the thought which counts though, and I appreciate all my gifts.

**Mr Mystery**

My Grandad dying on Christmas Eve.

That has got to the suckiest 'present' I've ever received.

**KingCracker**

Oddly this year I only had 1 gift that was terrible, and left me looking weird in the picture that was taken as I opened it. I got a bag of creme drops with chocolate on them....................................................................I was confused, then my stomach went in knots just thinking about trying to eat that garbage.

**TheSecretSquig**

I don't actually know yet having opened a grand total of 0 presents!!! I'm currently 3500 miles away from home, having to work the Christmas shift, in a country were celebrating Christmas is ilegal!

Christmas starts for me when I get home on my next weeks leave I'm afraid. It sucks big time.

**Sgt.Snail**

I got a single blank VHS tape last year, from my neighbour.

To be fair to him though, it is a Panasonic 100 minute, so he at least bought quality.

**jetjetex**

The worst one that i got was finding nemo video game from my best friend...and the best thing was a new goallie jersey and a grenade(sadly drilled out).

My worst pressent has to be knockoff terminators and Transformers2: revenge of the fallen >_> (they were together so I guess they count as one

)

**Samus_aran115**

This thread is bad and you should feel bad. No gift is a bad gift, duhhhuuuhhhh?..?......?

A thrift store flannel shirt. I like it, but it was the 'worst'..I suppose

Was that my jacket?

**Peter Wiggin**

Complaining that your gifts weren't good enough? My god, to have your problems.

I didn't get anything for Christmas. I did get my family some nice candy and a few odds and ends though. We don't have the money for presents and I was the only one to wrap anything this year.

We all cooked together, sat and talked, played with the dog, and ate home made pie. It was the best holiday I can remember.

**Phototoxin**

Some peanut M&Ms ... I dont like the peanut ones... also wasn't Dacha(u) a Nazi Concentration camp? Not quite what Putin would want..

Indeed it was.

**Amaya**

I got a CD case from an Aunt. I think she is still living in 1995 and doesn't realize people switched to ipods 10 years ago.

I use cd's.

**Footsloggin**

Same here. I do feel sorry for those who don't get things or enjoy their holidays. For me it just isn't Christmas without unwrapping something that morning with my family in front of the fire, then going to mass for an hour. Then going to the celebration at my grandparents house for the rest of the day.

I did help ring the bell for charity though. The salvation army thigymajig... I guess that helps? Maybe?
