My grandma, for about 10 years running, got my brother and I both a calender painted by someone with no hands (it was a charity thing, the handicapped people painted with their feet), and sweatshirts from various places she'd been to, like Niagra Falls. They were either black or neon, (never anything else), and always had the really puffy print on them, like the kind women in nursing homes wear. Really bizarre stuff.
This wasn't for Christmas, but when I graduated high school, I was really excited. I drove a Geo Metro wagon (seriously) that stopped wouldn't idle unless you pressed and held the gas a little. My dad had just bought "himself" a '93 Civic SI, lowered, tuned, really clean and nice. He claimed he bought it because he really liked "The Fast and the Furious". Keep in mind, my dad is a white, dorky, 60 year old technical engineer from upstate new york. This is a guy who tucks his t-shirt into his boxers, and wears black dress socks with sandals, claiming he had just bought himself a rice burner because of "the Fast and the Furious", and his adopted son (me) just happends to have friends who all drive cars exactly like that one. Anyhow, the car was a beaut, and he knew how much I loved that car. On graduation night, my dad threw me a little wrapped box, that had just a little "clink' when you shook it. I unwrapped it to find a nice little handcarved wooden box, and could just hear the sound of a key inside. I opened the box and found a $100 bill and... ...a Honda keychain. Not a key, just a key chain, with a Honda logo on it. Thanks, Pop. Craziest thing is, my dad is not the kind of guy to taunt someone, he's the nicest, most supportive dude in the world. He really actually just liked the movie The Fast and the Furious, and that really was why he bought himself the car. He also just really thought I would like the box, and he knew I liked his Honda, so he bought me a keychain cause he thought I would like it. Ah well.

Jeebus! I have been crying since page 2!
My folks were cool and always got me at least 1 thing I really wanted. Not to say I didnt suffer the occasional go bot knock off or Joe knock off. School gifts on the other hand were a mine field. I would always pick up a Joe or small TF as a gift to give. What would I get? MASH guys from the dollar store or the cheap ass cars that would not roll. Really? You couldn't spring for the 1.99 key car,when the note from school said @5.00? I got so sick of that crap that I tried to get the gift that I brought . |

Now I remember...2nd grade I think, we had a Christmas grab bag type thing and it turned out me and my 2nd grade best friend got each others names. My dad took me to Caldor and I got him a Secret Wars Kang action figure...Kang!! With those double image shield things they had...I thought I would get something like that in return...I got a crayon that you could change the tips on.
I bought you a Secret Wars figure and you got me a crayon. F you man. Last edited by Unclassified; 12-15-2009 at 05:59 PM.. |

I remember one year my mother took me to Consumers Distributing.That was the place where you went through the cataloges and filled out the cards,then they would bring you your stuff.When we went to the counter they cut up her credit card.It seems she just got it but it took a while in the mail to get deliverd,so she got another one sent.well i guess it was the first one that was cancelled that she tried to use.The look on her face.....man i've never seen it again.she dragged me out of their so fast.It all worked out in the end,but I thought christmas was cancelled right there.

I know... and he didn't even mean to be!.
It's not like I was one of those kids who felt entitled, believe me... it was just that all the signs pointed that way!
