Fess Up: What Was the Worst Gift This Year?

Santa doesn't always deliver on expectations, and neither do elderly aunts and relatives.

So, come on, confess:  What was the worst gift you got this year? What one gift actually stunned you into silence during the unwrapping frenzy on Sunday? What's the one gift you're so embarrassed about you won't even bother to return it?

Everyone gets one each year and some of us get more than one, despite writing letters to Santa indicating color, size, store, location, hours and the online retail outlet selling the coveted item.

Or were you one of the many you unwrapped a dozen gift cards and now have to go shopping for yourself? It's nice to be able to pick out what you want, but it's also nice to know someone took time to find a gift you'd like and want. So is a gift card a gift for the giver or receiver?
