My worst X-mas experience wasn't due to the gift I recieved, but merely the soul crushing discovery that Santa wasn't real. I must have been 4 or 5 years old, Santa had left a kick ass LEGO castle, but forgotten to take the price tag off of it. The moment I saw it, my above moron intellegence level kicked into overdrive...If there's a price tag on my present from Santa, then one of two things must be true. Either Santa's elves are lazy sons-of-bitches in a strong worker's union and don't produce crap, or Santa doesn't exsist. Since I thought if Santa could convince a large workforce of midgets to live at the north pole all year, and have no mention of them getting paid, I assumed they were slave labour and weren't unionized. Therefore, if Santa didn't exsist, then the presents must be coming from my parents. If the presents were coming from them, then next year, and all subsequent years I could manipulate them for the exact Santa gift(s), and gift(s) from Parents I wanted....It took about half a second for me to learn how to lie to my parents.
So when my parents finally broke the horrible news to me about Santa not exsisting last year, I fessed' up and they got mad. But it was well worth 17 years of 'ideal' gifts. |
Haha
How i found out santa wasent real - you know how you leave milk and cookies out for santa... well i got out of bed on christmas eve late that night, and there i busted my old man stuffing his face with my milk and cookies, stunned when he saw me and i stood there basically saying "dad.... youv got somethen to tell me havent you.."
The funniest gift for me was when one of my Grandmothers (whos loosing her mind...) gave me a "happy 17th birthday" card on christmas day bair in mind i was 19 at the time and my bday was in Septemeber...
Another time when i was about 11 years old, my aunt gave me the "New Kids on the Block" album, when she knew full well that i hated that band and she was a huge fan.. I had been warned from my parents that i better be nice and polite when i receive gifts or else il get my ass kicked.
So you can imagine the look on my face when i unwrapped this gift...
"hey..err..wow! new kids on the block"  
"this is so cool.." 
what was worse is that my aunt immediately made me put this album on repeat during the whole family christmas lunch and dinner thing..
you guys have no idea what its like to listen to "Step by Step" or "hang stuff" for 3 hours straight...
