The most inappropriate Christmas gift you received this year.

[zanana1]

My sister gave my husband a calendar of the NE Patriots cheerleaders wearing dental floss. WTH was she thinking?

2. My parents have gave me a few jawdroppers but my brother create an amazingly bad moment once

When I was working in a lumber yard driving a forklift in all types of weather my stepfather bought me a long down jacket that was fire hydrant red and sealed in about an 1/8 inch clear plastic coating. Before I was really aware of this issue I think I was at first horrified by the environmental damage that production of this jacket must have effected. My immediate response was "I can't wear this. The loading dock guys would give me so much crap I would never live it down". My folks stopped asking if I wore after about 2 weeks.

When I was about 10 and my brother was 12 he bought me two Aerosmith albums and a Zeppelin album. This is the late 70's. I thought "I can't wait to tell everyone what I got. THey are all going to think I am sooooo cool". Just after we finished opening gifts my older brother comes up to me and says, "You don't really listen to them. Let me have the albums". He basically bought himself a gift and saved money by only letting me unwrap them and not really getting me anything. Thus began my cynical life. Thanks Jake.

That really sucks.

3. Is your husband a Patriots fan?

If not, whoa. But if so, maybe sis figures her guy would like, so why not. But yes, that is still an inappropriate gift from a SIL.

Mr. gut received a subscription to Cosmopolitan from a secret admirer. Here is a sample, and no, he doesn't read it.

8. Well, Cosmo is...

something we could both read!

10. My sister is a Patriots fan...

But she's also a feminist! I was insulted and thought it was in very poor taste.

14. If not, I'm sure he is now

4. An aromatherapy device.

I lost my sense of smell in an accident. Those who gave me the device were there more than a decade ago when I realized the olfactory nerves were defunct.

That was this year.

Back in 1971, in the days of hip-hugging bell bottoms, when I was in middle school, an elderly relative gave me a pair of tight, high-water, high-rise pants made out of a "peanuts" printed cotton. My mom made me wear them to school. Battled me all the way to the door, then decided to drive me and watch me walk into the building in them instead of letting me walk to school and forget to arrive.

5. Yes. I can relate. Mom thought bellbottoms were terrible.

She didn't want me to fit in. I am shortwaisted and look better in hiphuggers anyway. And she majored in Costume Design and Fashion Illustration at Texas Woman's University. She should have known about proportion!!

Grandma gave me some plaid pants that were bell bottoms but had about a 4 inch tall waistband, which came up right up under my bust and made me look likea mushroom.

6. We were re-gifted (it's easy to tell) an aluminum salad bowl from Crabtree and Evelyn.

Along with a tin of escargot, a jar of cranberry chutney(WTF?) and some odd biscuits.

I'll trade you it all for the calendar.

7. I hate the insidious "what have I got laying around" stocking stuffer.

I got a box of freaking PAPER CLIPS, for Chrissake. It's almost worth it just for the ability to say "WTF?"

[fizzgig]

13. my high school/college boyfriend used to get office supplies in his stocking

i never understood it.

[Phentex]

11. Ceramic nativity...

What every atheist needs!

[sakabatou]

12. Nothing. I got money

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

15. Some sunglasses with mirrored back edges so "I can keep an eye on crazies sneaking up on me"

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

16. I don't believe you, I demand pictures of this calender for further inspection.

[Archae]

17. I think this is the calendar.

Just another "pretty girls wearing practically nothing" calendar.

[MissMillie]

18. Someone put a "Walking with Jesus" pamplet

in my secret Santa gift.

I think at work, this is especially inappropriate.

19. Not me, my husband was gifted an inappropriate gift

Not one but TWO Bill O'Reilly books - "Killing Lincoln" and "Killing Kennedy". Right wing a$$hole made sure to comment that the books were not "conservative".

Good thing he gave them to my husband, who was painfully polite about it. If I had gotten them, I would have walked out immediately and left the books there (Christmas was at his house) after letting the jerk know what I think of O'Reilly and the waste of paper his books are!

"Killing Lincoln" was the book that was so bad the National Park Service will not sell it at their Ford Theater gift shop.

I had friends over the other day and had to hide the damn books. They are not something I even want in the house!
