It's that time of year.. Time for the worst Christmas gift thread. Like "A Christmas Story" that only comes on once a year and you see it until you're sick of it, this thread has been around every year for as far back as I can remember, when I was first here in 04? The WF tradition of the wolf head gutter spout, let's hope it appears.. My worst Christmas gift was this: Not this exact one.. Mine was actually WORSE than crappy WWE popcorn. Sometime between the time my aunt bought it and gave it to me, a mouse chewed into the box and into the popcorn. So I got diseased ridden crappy popcorn. My brother got a jersey from her that year.. This bad gift was so bad that it won the Figure 4 Online "worst Christmas gift" contest, scoring me that year's WWE game for Playstation 3 from Bryan Alverez. It actually makes it a fond memory, because of how Granny and Vinny reacted to the story I sent in about it.

I actually have never received anything I hated. I have liked all of my gifts. Maybe it's because I'm always trying to do comedy bits around the house and everyone's like, "JESUS CHRIST! GET HIM A GIFT HE'LL LIKE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HEAR HIS DAMN SNAGGLEPUSS IMPRESSION!"

My mom broke both of the glasses quickly, which in sucked, I liked those glasses. Who knows where the in popcorn holders are.

2 years ago, my aunt bought me a bottle of beer bread mix, with 4 cans of Natural Light, which is ing gross. My uncle was dumbfounded by the gift, so he pulled out a $100 bill & gave it to me.

I lost this picture for a year or so. Someone else had kindly saved it. I post it again for posterity. This is what my parents got me one year. It is indeed a wolf's head gutter spout. The mouth opens and lets rain water out. This was my big gift that year. In comparison, my brother got an XBox. I swear I am not making any of this up.

Can't say I've gotten anything I hated. One thing that, at the time, I was embarrassed to get was this.

I got a vacuum cleaner one Christmas. I can't really complain because I was a broke college student who needed one to keep my apartment clean so I did ask for it, but it wasn't a whole lot of fun to open it up Christmas morning. "Look, its a vacuum cleaner! Somebody make a mess so I can clean it up!"

I got an expired box of Pop Tarts from my bro's gf. Not making this up whatsoever. I ate them since I was hungry and there was nothing else to eat.

I got a paper shredder... I mean, I guess I needed it and I am getting into my late 20's so family insists or practical gifts or stuff for my apartment, but man, a paper shredder? Not very exciting.... (honestly I'm sure I've received worse, but it was such a bummer)

LOL I had that popcorn set too.
The worst gift I ever got for Christmas was a Tae-Bo VHS tape from my sister.
I was 10.

I got a popcorn kit for Christmas too! The glasses must have broken in my case because I don't have them anymore. The popcorn holders I gave to the donation truck. I don't think it was a bad gift in my case as I enjoyed popcorn and could use the holders to hold other things. Just didn't need them after a while.
That wolf head looks like something from late WCW Toy Biz.
I don't think I ever got a bad gift. Personally I don't like the holidays or the idea that one "must" give a gift. I am not religious at all but if Christmas and gift giving were based on the three wise men and jesus then I think it has gone so far away from the original intent.
If I were to say a "bad gift" I would go with a signed photo of Vladimir Koloff. I'm an Ivan Koloff fan and respect that he worked with Vladimir in the early 1990s but I don't like my family (my grandmother also got me a signed photo months earlier) seeing a guy who was really just an indy guy at best and thinking because he has 8x10s printed that he was important to wrestling.

Damn do I love that Wolf Head. My aunt is the notorious bad gift giver of the family. This showed up in my arms one horrid holiday: This also was unwrapped one year...at least she tried, I guess? She passed this talent onto my godchild, who just gave me this last year: The worst gift that side of the family gave me is something I almost feel selfish about calling it the worst. After 2 years I went back to school, and wanted a laptop for classes. I was saving up at the time and already had a few hundred in the bank for it. X-mas comes that year, we're at my aunt;s for the holiday, and I am given a slightly heavy, small box and unwrap it to reveal... A netbook. A super small laptop, for those who've never seen one. Microsoft Word or Excel? No, not even a trial. CD-Rom drive? No. Windows? 7 Starter edition. I had all intention on returning it since I couldn't really use it for school, and this was when stores were charging restocking fees. I didn't care though. I politely put the netbook aside and headed to the bathroom. I come back...and my uncle is in the process of opening the box to "help me set it up"...well, there goes $350 I could have put towards a real laptop. It was a nice gesture, but the machine's so useless. To this day my mom uses it to check her e-mails when she doesn't feel like going on her desktop and it can barely handle that.

I love telling this story. The year was 1986. I was 16 years old and apparently, I must have been bad. My "gifts" consisted of the following- A rotary nose hair clipper. I wouldn't have minded, but this damn thing was from the dollar store and it got rid of "unsightly nasal hair" not by clipping, but by yanking them out. An American Tale Feivel stocking. My brother got it for me from McDonalds. I hate Disney and especially this movie. He knew it too. He just got it for me to piss me off. I threw it in the wood stove. In a semi-related story, he once bought me a pair of high top Pony sneakers for my birthday- in his size. I said they wouldn't fit, and he got offended & said "I'll just keep them for myself, you ungrateful prick!" A hanging nutcracker ornament with action movement. My mother got this for me. I have no idea why she thought I would like it. It wasn't 1860, and my name wasn't Tiny Tim. She still has it & breaks it out every year for decoration.

GET HIM A GIFT HE'LL LIKE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HEAR HIS DAMN SNAGGLEPUSS IMPRESSION!" Looking back, there were gifts I hated, but it was at least an attempt to be nice. So, the only thing I can say was the "worst" was something you would've had a comedic field day with. Chocolate Soda…..& frankly, it tasted like a raccoon's booty sweat

Still, poor Fievel. I always loved that movie, it's basically Fiddler On The Roof with Animals
