We’ve all gotten some really cool gifts we loved for Christmas, and we’ve also gotten some really weird and crazy gag gifts as well. One year I got a rock painted black in a little container that said “a lump of coal.” As you can see from the above picture, I got my cat to model for me, however, he was quite the obstinate and unwilling participant. Good times, am I right? The Yearbook club answered some of the gag gifts they’ve gotten over the years. Make sure you order your yearbook soon!
Marina Forrester said, “A dog that was supposed to swim in water but it didn’t work.”
Izzie Parsons said, “Hello Kitty waffle maker.” (That’s amazing, by the way.)
Caroline Paul commented, “The worst gift I got was a gallon of purple glue that I have never used.”
Kylie Tinsley’s answer was “Close to Christmas, my dad’s side of the family has a white elephant gift party. We started playing the game, and when it was my turn, I accidentally got a squatty potty.” Some gifts unfortunately do turn out like that.
Kathryn Paul answered, “One year I asked for a puppy and got a fake dog. I wanted a real dog, but the toy dog had wheels and a leash so I could take it for walks.” Make the most of everything, folks.
Perhaps one of the best responses I got was from Sadie Childers, who said, “A random part from a car.”
Marianna Hall responded, “I can’t really think of any bad gifts that I’ve gotten for Christmas. I did get a pair of leg warmers, which didn’t make any sense when you can just wear pants (ideally sweatpants).” Confession: I’ve never really owned a pair of sweatpants before.
And last but not never least, Allie Wilcox said, “One year my papa wrapped up eleven live mice as a white elephant gift. Luckily, I was not the person that unwrapped them.”
That’s the thing about gifts, you don’t know what’s inside until you unwrap them. Merry Christmas!
