I SUCK AND LOVE TO YELL PERFORMATIVE HOT TAKES AND NONSENSE LIES WHEN I GET WORKED UP. SOMETIMES AUTOBANNED IS BETTER. MAYBE ONE DAY WHEN I STORM OFF I'LL ACTUALLY STOP SHITTING UP THE SITE FOR REAL
When I was a little boy my very lispy gay grandfather gave me, in front of my whole Mother's side of the family, a pair of battery operated boys underwear with a Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer with a big red light up nose at the crotch part. When the button was pressed it would play the Rudolph Christmas jingle while the nose flashed.

I chuckled to myself. This is clearly a gag gift. Imagine my shock and horror when my family actually expected little ol me to model this monstrosity. And I did. They accused me of being rude if I didn't show gratitude for my gift. I paraded myself around my whole family with my blinky crotch.

It was the second most flamboyant Christmas I ever had.

What about you, goons?

When I was in the equivalent of junior high school one of my classmates gave me the mag Heavy Metal, which had an elf or something in a skimpy rear end-showing outfit on the back. Thanks man, appreciate looking like a giant dork and also pervert in front of my extended family.

My grandma gave me a fancy metal pen, it was like a Parker I think. I was maybe 12. I never used it, it just sat in its fancy box. I’m not sure why a 12 year old needs an executive pen, I liked to draw and it was useless for that.

When I was 12 I got axe deodorant from my grand parents. I was too embarrassed to show what I got for the whole family. I guess I smelled bad maybe?

At 14, with dyed hair, band t shirt, studded jacket etc, fully in my punk/goth phase; a set of Disney princess themes board games, so I "could start a family game night!"

At 15, a gift card for a gas station that they took back when they realized I didn't drive yet. And that was the only gift.

I quit going to family Christmas after that.

One of my family's favorite movies when I was a kid was "Captain Ron" and the stupid rich and extremely stupid family of the woman my grandfather was married to got us a VHS copy of Captain Ron, recorded off TV onto a several times used VHS. Like, what the gently caress lol

You just reminded me. I think the PS2 was out by this point. I had a cokehead aunt who bought a PS1 game that was just called "boxing", no other info that I can recall except that the characters were all chibi style anime dudes. I've never been able to find the disc or anyone else online acknowledging it.

e: found it:

When I was 16 my grandmother got me an almost full set of 30 year old thrift store golf clubs in a bag that had been mostly chewed apart by mice. I had never expressed any interest in golf and had absolutely no knowledge of how it was played, but due to this generous gift my parents forced me to attend tryouts for the school team that spring. I did not have any golf balls or even know what golf tees were. It was pretty embarrassing due to all the other kids knowing what they were doing, actually wanting to be there, and having equipment that didn't obviously belong in a dumpster. It turned out alright when the coach told me not to come back after the first day.
