every christmas
me and my fasmily often put a lot of thought into what we will buy each other. even if they're just 'joke' gifts, they'll generally bear some relevance to the events of the past 12 months.
while we're not rich or anything, we dont really mind spending large amounts of money, anything up to £70 each is the top limit, but its never reached.

so you can imagine that every christmas morning is always interesting, and we never actually recieve any crap, presents.

well, it would be, if it wasnt for my fake auntie (read: uncle's ex-wife who insists on keeping in touch)
she spends all of 5 minutes and £3.50 buy our presents, including the bus ride & fare to get to the shops)

every year, i get a disgusting piece of clothing that i'll never wear (last years was a brown sweatshirt, the year before that, it was a lime green polo shirt).

but the medal for stupidity goes to the present she got my 3yr old brother. forgetting the standard conventions of present buying for children, she buys him an adult-size inflatable chair, which was twice the size of him, and was too big for him to actually sit on comfortably/safely

silly tart, no-one likes her anyway
