Xmas pressies?
« on: 01 Dec, 2021, 10:07:56 am »
What was the very worst present you were ever given on the 25th and why?
Mine was a large doll (I subsequently learned my father had won it in a raffle), which walked and talked!  As anyone who knows me will tell you I HATE dolls with faces, so to have one which also talked in an automated voice really freaked me out.  It was ages before I didn't wake up yelling after nightmares.  Needless to say, it was given to a more deserving person and was the first my parents knew of my phobia which remains to this day...
