So after yappin with my cuz about holidays he tells me what he's gettin his girl:
-coach bag
-krazr (sp?)
-diamond studs
which got me to thinking about all the sucky gifts Im anticipating. Esp. from my father . I have sisters so he usually starts his Christmas shopping at 5:39 pm Dec. 24th. It's usually the same thing in different colors that's either too big or too useless for any of us to use. Upon receiving which, we usually thank him wildly lest we be confronted at dinner with another "See this is why Black women aint shyt. Ya so ungrateful ...blah, blah, blah *burp*" speech
So let's hear it SOHH. Gimme youe best/worst gift and how do you react to them (esp. the bad ones)

Man dont ever tell some old black folks you dont want they gift. I done got some doozies from my Pops. but he takes that "it's the thought that counts" shyt real serious. Start cussin us out on some "man I aint have to buy you nothin! I aint owe you shyt! I mean, damn, at least a n1gga was thinkin of you!" Us: "Ok pop.......but what the fukk were you thinking?" what's a seven year old girl doin with one ginsu knife?

This was in the early 90's.
My mothers friend actually bought me an all white with red and blue pinstripes pleather "USA" print olympic inspired no name matching jacket and sweatpant suit for x-mas.
You could smell the stentch of plastic filtering into my nostrils as I opened up the gift. I gave the fakest smile I could possibly deliver only to go into the back room to laugh my ass off with my younger sisters.

I got fake earrings once that had me a lil disappointed. He made up for that though.
lol. In all fairness to my pops he might be the single most thoughtful and generous person I know. It's just that he forgets shyt and he's not good at forethought. So if he forgets he'll get some last minute wackness or not get shyt at all and then come up with a reason why "you aint deserve shyt anyway! 'Memba that time when you aint bring me back shyt from McDonalds...um...yeah...that's why I aint get you shyt. ...."

Off subject question but....
I was thinking of getting my girl some sunglasses for xmas. Ladies, do you think this is a good idea?? I'm kinda on the fence about it. Lemme here your thoughts.
My godparents gave the worst gifts. One time I got this ugly azz rayon/silk shirt. The design didnt even belong in this era, and it didnt even fit me. It was almost like they reached back into the 70's, ran into Studio 54 and ripped the ugly shirt off some fool's chest and packaged it for me.
Another time, they got me a RC Car, which was cool, except my parents got me the same exact one already. So I open a present on Dec 27, looking like "This be some bullsh!t, i have this already". My mom took it from me and told me "Since you already have one, I will send this one to Nigeria. "
LOL@African folk always tryin to send something back home.

You know it was a Nigerian who got me that pleather outfit?
Imagine me rockin that shyt? I would've just reeked of immigrant status right off the bat.

It's an epidemic...my parents have a 2 car garage full of stuff they're sending back. But I'm like, "if you had no use for a foosball table or George Foreman gourmet roaster here, what's gonna make them useful back home? "
And I haven't got any duds I can remember off-hand, but I've had some fukked up Christmases. The worst was when I got a Redman album, and my uncle borrowed it and took it to Maryland with him. My little brother got it bad one year though. They got him a laptop bag...but no laptop I still get on him for that shyt...

Man my fam was doin the best outta both sides of my fam so it was cousins all over the W. Hemisphere waiting to get their grubby lil poverty hands on my gifts
