Try to look pleased.......

Did you have to 'look pleased' for any of your relatives at present opening time?

I just got given the ugliest calendar ever printed ,by my mother-in- law:bloated:

I smiled, like you do:huh:

Yep! The process is
1. Unwrap present
2. Have pleasantly surprised look on face
3. Inspect gift
4. Turn to person who gave it to you (cue warm smile) and say "Thanks [blah blah blah]"
5. Repeat

Nope! We had it all set this year. Rather than presents, we had people give us the amount they would have spent, in cash. Then we donated it all. :D

yup my mom gave me the nastiest sweater that would look better on my grandpa...just smiled...put it in my dads pile of stuff

and my girlfriends mom gave me a portable shop vac for my truck (cuz thats my summer job...wash wax clean cars/trucks/suvs blah blah) and i was expecting a big ole box of models but it was a shop vac...its awesome tho

No stinkers this Christmas. However we did do a gag gift for my sister. The look on her face was a riot. She has vowed revenge which should prove fun next year. :)

It's the thought that counts. All I wanted this christmas was my mother & grandmother's love....

Jimmys presents 0wnz you :D


So no I didn't need to pretend.......Although my grandmother is the worlds cheapest biotch- luckily I don't spend christmas with her:D

I wasn't expecting anything so wasn't supprised or dissapointed with what I got

Actually most presents this year were awesome. I needed things, and got them without asking or anything. Got WAY too much candy, though... which has been passed-by for some foreign sweets. ;)

Yeah, that's about it.

I got a really nice hacksaw, it has a lever tightening assembly so it doesn't twist the blade at all.

I call it, the 1337 h4x0r

I got vouchers, can't be dissappointed with that.

Why would I be dissapointed with the awesome stuff I got this year :confused:

As I recall, the purpose of this thread was talking about how you have to smile and act nice, even when you are disappointed by some useless or tasteless gift.
