What’s the worst Christmas Present you’ve ever received?

Worst one for me was when I got a Sinclair Spectrum and had to pay half the cost of it myself. Fast forward 18 months I sold it to move up to a Commodore 64. Mother wanted half the proceeds from the sale!

Still p’s me off to this day.

Does nothing count?

An emerald ring my violent ex-partner gave me, promising he would change his ways. He didn’t and ended up in gaol. The Thing is he was defrauding the health service, and I am certain the ring was bought with the proceeds. Some of his loot was paid back, but not the ring, and I am unsure whether to give it to the authorities or sell it myself as a kind of compensation. So it sits in limbo at the back of a drawer next to Hover Fly’s medals, unseen and unwanted.

My wife’s great aunt still buys small gifts for my children.
She bought my 13 year old son a 2025 paper diary! That may have been an ok gift when I was a lad, but kids these days are simply never going to use a paper diary. I doubt my son even knows what it is.
