I hate getting books for Christmas in general because I'm such a mood reader, and I've plastered a fake smile on my face many a time and repeated internally 'Its the thought that counts.' as I unwrap a book I will not read.
But the worst one by far, given to me by my own Mother , who I know loves me, when I was fourteen years old! was >!Men are from Mars Women are from Venus.!< I am sitting there horrified thinking what is she trying to tell me? As my sisters are flat on the floor laughing to the point of puking. We eventually came to the conclusion she just saw an attractive cover on a bestseller table and grabbed it. Love to know your terrible gift stories.
You're having me flash back to the Glenn Beck book someone got me as a kid. Same outcome lol.
I was not gifted it but told I could read his copy of Sarah Palin’s book. I opened it, read a couple random trash pages, and declined.
How many brain cells did you lose during that time?
I could literally feel my neurons cry out in agony and had to slam the book shut and throw it across the room.

Could you see Russia?
