Christmas gets worse for me each year. I think it stopped being fun when I was 11 and my mum forced me to spend Christmas day wearing a bright purple Power Rangers tracksuit (that was so big there was room inside for both me and Barney the dinosaur), which my aunt had bought and was very keen to see me wearing. Over a decade on and things are still pretty dire. Here are some of the, erm, special and heartfelt gifts I was given by loved ones this year. If you were given a worse selection of presents, you win whatever you want from the list below.
12 pairs of pants – three of which are fake Calvin Kleins and another three of which are American Apparel rip-offs from Burton (I’m currently wearing the red pair).
An Akon DVD featuring all of his videos and a 30-minute documentary on Mr auto-croon himself (I don’t know neither).
A flatpack shoe rack that I had to put together myself (I have actually put this to good use but it’s pretty hard to look enthusiastic when you unwrap a boxful of bits of wood from Argos).
Two plastic tubs containing a total of 50 cheap pens that will probably stop working as soon as the nib touches a piece of paper.
A candle holder that looks like it was taken from the reception of a Holiday Inn (one of the more upmarket branches).
Six rubber monkey head-shaped key thingies – one of which has since been taken without my permission.

A photo frame containing seven random holes which don’t match the size or shape of any of the photos I have.
A wind-up chicken and a wind-up egg. (Is this a wind-up? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I may have lost my sense of fun and festive cheer but I evidently have not lost my sense of humour.)

I only got socks, wish I got pants. everyone knows M&S pants are nothing like they used to be since they were subcontracted to China, like Converse. Burton on the other hand are in the ascendant

My co-worker got me a $15 iTunes gift card, which I found worthless, since I steal music.

I got given pajamas made for a six year old. I mean, I am pretty thin, but what the fuck; I’d have to weigh like 60 pounds to even be close to fitting into these things.
Plus, they aren’t even the funny kind with x-men on them or something. They are just shit pajamas made for someone fifteen years younger than me.
December 28th, 2008

Watching American TV programs conjures up all kinds of weird pictures when they start talking about their “pants”, or even better their “fannies”.
“Your mums fanny is so big, it don’t fit inside her pants”…………. what!

Um, be grateful your presents are actually alright. You can use nearly all of them and give the candle to a hippy friend for birthday presents. If you actually care about the label on your underwear, you’ve got problems. Only poor people care about labels.
