Remember when wou wanted Super Mario 2 for Xmas and instead you got a key chain. Yep, nothing says Christmas like receiving insanely awful presents from your relatives. Here are a few memorable doozies from my childhood. Feel free to add your worst present to the list as well...

A bag of marbles without a shooter marble

Thanks Aunt Sarah!!  I actually would have preferred a bag of rocks.

Marbles: marginally more fun than just sitting around in dirt.

Key Chain

A key chain?  Really, Aunt Sarah?

It’s like you did your Christmas shopping in the airport gift store on the way down. 

And honestly, what the hell is a thirteen-year-old gonna do with a key chain?

I owned one key at the time.  Do you think I really needed an entire chain to hold my plethora of keys?

Imagine the joy on my face when I received this doozy!!

Hotel Toiletries

My really frugal aunt who likes to go on fancy vacations actually gave me some of her unused shampoos and lotions from some Australian hotel. I wonder if she maybe used a little, then mixed in some water…

My Brother's Underwear

Ok, ok, ok, so this one Christmas? My Mom thought me and my brothers were peeking at our gifts under the tree. So she developed this elaborate coding system: she wrapped the presents, put fake tags on them but then coded them with a 1, 2, or 3 underneath . . . problem was, she confused herself with the code!

The first present I got to open was several pairs of boxers, intended originally for my older brother.

YUCK! Clever Mom Trick FAIL

Joy to the World

Fortunately in Colorado you’re allowed to shoot people who trespass on your property. Carolers beware. Come to my door with any of these Jesus songs and you’ll get a lecture on why we agnostics are vastly superior to your limited world.

Thanks for giving me the free gift that came when Uncle Steve renewed his subscription.

The UnGame

Aunt Sarah strikes again!!!

Developed by a child pyschologist in the late 60s, this is quite possibly the most un-fun game ever invented.

14 years later, the ungame remains UNopened in the family game closet.

Less fun than marbles!!!

Ungame description page

I had to look up the ungame. You are right this sounds horrible!

“The leading family communication game. This best-selling non-competitive communication game fosters listening skills as well as self-expression. Players progress along the playing board as they answer questions such as “What are the four most important things in your life,” and “what do you think life will be like in 100 years?” "

Christmas – the gift of FAIL.

Pink Bunny Pajamas, anyone?

Get yourself in the spirit of crappy Xmas gifts by watching a little Christmas Story composition! Who gets a kid pajamas in lieu of a gun?!? As if! Well, he does get the gun in the end, but we all know what happens next.

I think I might prefer waterboarding over this.

I lied. I opened it. I only wish it remained Un-opened. I have two regrets in life. Opening the Ungame is one of them.
