I haven't actually made my list yet.
My folks were the kind that got the wrong one of something, like the
year I wanted a dirtbike (this is when BMX was brand new) and they got
me a ten-speed. I had the last laugh of course by riding the bike like
it was a dirtbike and busting it to pieces in short fashion. Later,
when we were moving, my dad refused to pack the wreckage, deeming it a waste of time and effort. I guess I showed him...
But what about you? Can you recall a mispurchased Christmas gift? Or
the one you never found under the tree, even after asking the mall
Santa that smelled like cigarettes and anger?

Now that you mention it I still haven't got my Mercedes sports car I've been asking Santa for for about 3 years. Maybe he thinks I've been naughty....it always kills me how he KNOWS :)
ReplyDeletethePrisoner, One year I asked for my house to be painted. So I get a friking gift-certificate to Home-Depot. Not what I had in mind at all. Pfft.
ReplyDeleteActually I think I was leaning more in the direction of a Six-Million-Dollar Man action figure or a Malibu Barbie Rehab Cabaña Playset.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the Mercedes and the housepainters, fingers crossed for this year.
So you're into dolls? There's no shame in asking for a Live Doll theprisioner. You know what those are don't you? Aharaha :)

It's almost mainstream now. There's nothing to be ashamed of. They made a movie about it for christ's sake. It's okay, you can tell the world.
Shout it out loud!
I asked for a loom and I got a plastic thing to make potholders.
ReplyDeleteI was 10, but I've never forgotten.
*sniff*
I had a RealDoll™ but she left me for a Stretch Armstrong™, I can't compete with that.
ReplyDeleteI miss her tho'
i asked for a pc once when I was about 14, I got a casio keyboard.......revenge was mine.....I am to music what Adam Sandler is to acting........
ReplyDeleteHah @ Stretch Armstrong! You're right. What I would do with a man that doesn't have to do penis stretch exercises.
ReplyDeleteLast year I asked Santa for cash, cars and ladies. He didn't deliver any of them. This year I'd probably just settle for some Vicodin.
ReplyDeleteHusband did once buy me a rubbish bin for Xmas. Admittedly along with a lot of other stuff... but sadly, that's the gift I remember from that year...
