Okay people, what is the weirdest christmas or other winter holiday you celebrate present youve ever gotten? Id like to know ^-^ mine was a package of underwear from the giving tree lol the weirdest part was they were opened already lol
-
Wow... you know, in some parts of Japan they'd pay good money for that. ;)
At a white elephant, I once got a fantasy paperback that looked like their dog had chewed on it a while... the weird part was that by coincidence, it was one I'd already read.

I haven't really gotten any 'weird' Christmas presents (though my work is throwing a secret santa thing today and I might have to amend this comment depending on who has me) but my mom would always theme my presents around something I said I liked earlier in the year.
There was the horse Christmas, the skull Christmas, the Carebear Christmas, the OSU Christmas, the Johnny Depp Christmas (which I didn't mind at all), the Alice in Wonderland Christmas, etc. It's almost consistent.

I have that too lol this year is mickey mouse for me. Everything ive been told im getting is mickey or minnie mouse themed. Id really like to get a 50 dollar giftcard to subway though lol and sadly thats not mickey mouse themed

My dad would like me to add The Cat to this lol one year my nana on my mas side had a huge christmas party for the family. we did a white elephant, and my dad got an ugly ceramic cat in different colors. We wrapped it so no one would know what it was, but my stepmom really liked it and wanted it. So at some point that night, she wrapped it in something different. My dad ended up getting it as his gift lol my stepmom loves it

Firecrackers and M-80s my cousins smuggled down from Quebec one year.
In those days we drove into town for Midnight Mass, then caroling in the streets, then you drive back to the house around 3AM to open presents and then sit down to a DEVASTATINGLY LARGE French-Canadian Christmas dinner.
Cloved turkey and cloved ham, tortiere (a meat pie,) brown raisin bread and baked cranberries, mashed turnips, early snow peas in brown gravy, a salad of apple, raisin, and walnuts much like a Waldorf salad, Great Northern beans baked 6 hours in molasses and maple syrup with whole onions, salt pork and savory and mustard powder, and tarte au sucre, which is made from maple syrup and tastes a lot like pecan pie without the layer of pecans. With a tall dollop of vanilla ice cream.
Ok, by NOW it's about an hour before DAWN. Time to dance and sing till sunrise.
We blew off the firecrackers at dawn and totally cheesed off the neighborhood...

-

Some might think these are weird, but to the right people they seem sensible.
For my B-day My GF gave me a dozen LARPing arrows that she made herself. Considering that I play in a park that allows the use of bows and arrows modified for safe shooting into battlegames, this was quite a useful present.
For Christmas, she gave me clothes...the robes and pants for an Inuyasha cosplay that she sewed together herself, leaving no detail overlooked. Of course this isn't so weird considering the crowd I'm telling this to.

Last year my gramma got me and my cousin Pads.. not note pads, not drawing pads actual pads for that time of the month, and she individually wrapped each one -__-;
-
thats what my younger Brother got this year and in side a Gift card
-
We have a semi-anonymous gift exchange every year at my school and customary gifts are pineapples and crowbars, which is considerably weird on its own. This year, I got a box of mac and cheese with caramel candies from my best friend's ex-boyfriend... I'm vegan.
-
I got a role of toletpaper this year. XD I loved it!
-
Santa brought me my own fudge I made two days before Christmas. .__.
-
I was 18 and some distant older cousins bought me a crayon set ages 8-12.
-
My weirdest present was probably a can of Cheddar Easy Cheese.
I had taken it on a family camping trip this summer and my aunt accidentally took it back with her, so she gave it back to me for Christmas this year.
-
This is both weird and epicly awesome for me all at once.
My sister baught me soap that's a ball. One half is "Fireball" and the other half is "Magic missle"
Each half has a D20 (20 sided die) In it.
