Essex

When my marriage ended my ex husband took my car off me (even tho he had his own) and smashed it up (no joke)

Having 3 children it was a bloody nightmare daily shopping to Tesco trying to carry everything. I was really hoping that my mum would loan me a little money to get a cheap runaround until I was on my feet

On Christmas Day she surprised me with a shopping trolley !! You know like little old ladies use haha

That was my worst Christmas present ever lol

What’s yours ?

In my job, it is the time of year when I get lots of boxes of chocolates. I don't eat chocolate. It does make a lot of friends happy though

Plus, your little shopping trolley would be smelling lemon fresh!

I was going to say socks but having heard your tale i'd even appreciate a lump of coal and a satsuma. I truly hope your Xmases have been on the up and up ever since.

I’m not sure about worst, but what I have found is that gifts which I would have absolutely hated a few years back such as socks, are always more than welcome now. Must be me getting old

My ex bought me a book on potty training

And a watch

( that I subsequently found out was off the back of a lorry)

A packet of biscuits ( from a multipack)

Some cookery books

Oh, and each member of his family bought me parts of a dinner service

( we had been dating a matter of weeks)

With hindsight, I think I was probably being groomed

All true

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried

Probably family not being together.

I never classified Christmas presents as good or bad as I'm sure there's been thought put into each one of them.

My worst present had to be a pill box container thing. The one wth days of the week on that you put medication in that you need to take daily so that you can remember whether you've taken them that day or not.

I actually was shocked and said I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or hit them over the head with it.

I also told them I was 40 yr old, not 80!

Years ago I started going out with a guy in the November,and for our first Christmas together he bought me a frying pan!! Albeit a top of the range frying pan. I was horrified and had a right gob on!

20 years on I still use it regularly though so maybe it wasn't such a bad present after all.

The pan lasted longer than the fella.

I also receive dark chocolates every year from a family member, as once, just the ONCE, said I liked dark chocolate. I was pregnant at the time and I'm sure it must of changed my taste buds throughout pregnancy.

Much prefer milk chocolate but don't want to tell them. So this year, no doubt it will be a box of black magic chocolates again.

Sounds more like the usual/regular Xmas gifts that you get every year:

Socks

Pants

Deodorant/lynx box set
