Jeezz,
You should come to see my family at Christmas, the gifts are worse every year! As a matter of fact I start practicing a fake smile the week before Xmas!
A few examples to show you what I'm on about
: a few years ago we (me and my two brothers) got a pair of scissors each, because we were always using my dad's scissors... (how do you react on that one!) Another classic was the post-id notes we all got, no idea why we got them, I still have them, unopened, i never use post-id notes...
My mom is almost as bad as my father: two years ago she gave me a gum, an eraser! and it was the sort of gum that doesn't even gums well, it was just one she had gotten for free in a shop where they sell mobile phones, the game of the shop was even on the stupid gum!!! (in stead of giving me a mobile phone, she figured, "nah, she'll like the gum probably more!
)
My brother, when he was 18 and just had his car-license, got a miniature car. He first thought that this stood for a real car he would get... but no way!!! my parents just liked that small toy-car and weren't thinking of giving him a real one!
I tell you, after a few years of lousy presents like that, you really don't care anymore! Every year after christmas all my friends are really curious what stupid things I've gotten this year, so at least it's always good for a good laugh!
This year was actually quite okay, they gave me a book about the history of the twentieth century... and another one about all kinds of stupid inventions over the centuries... don't ask me why!
So your gift isn't all that bad, just stop caring about gifts all together, I know I have a long time ago! Christmas for me is just a happy-family moment on which we eat and drink a lot!
