My family did secret Santa every year with a $20 limit so it was typically gag gifts. One year a family member was sick on Christmas so we just left our gifts piled up in a closet.

None of the gifts had tags because it was all supposed to be anonymous so when we handed out gifts the following year my great grandma ended up unwrapping a box of noodles shaped like penises.

Christmas, 2005: Went to 7am mass with my family: parents two older brothers Steve and Cole and my sister. My oldest brother has a car so he drove my other brother and I. My sister ride with my parents.

On the way home, Steve (driver) began antagonizing Cole who was riding shotgun. It got bad enough that a few blocks from home, Cole opened the door of the moving car and jumped out.

We were moving slow enough that his exit was graceful. This pissed Steve off though because he wasn't done antagonizing I guess. Any way. He swerved the vehicle into Cole who was walking and hit him. Up in the hood he went.

All before gifts were opened :)

My exparents actually gave my exsibling a Christmas gift once that in our culture denotes they've been a bad child.
