Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

Evil parentsThe worst present I ever had was a note from Santa on Christmas morning. At 9 years old I'd proclaimed to my parents on Christmas Eve that I no longer believed in Father Christmas (actually, that's quite old for that realisation isn't it? Oh well...). Christmas morning I was woken up by my brother screeching at me and asking what I had as my 'end of the bed' Santa present. Answer? A letter. From Santa. Saying that, as my parents had informed him that I no longer believed in him I was no longer entitled to any presents at Christmas. I may have cried a bit (and I did get my presents about an hour later).
