"You know that old joke about how there are really only like, six fruitcakes in the entire world that just keep getting regifted? I think I must be the primary snag in that &amp;quot;say thanks, smile, and pass it on&amp;quot; plot, because I actually like fruitcake and have happily devoured it on the few occasions I&amp;#x27;ve gotten it as a gift. For me, truly terrible gift territory is more like a picture frame that&amp;#x27;s obviously been hanging out unopened in someone&amp;#x27;s linen closet for a few years, a wind-up emergency radio, or a copy of Little Women given to a 9-year-old girl (didn&amp;#x27;t my aunt know I wanted Barbies!? Come on!). I once knew a guy whose passive-aggressive stepfather gave him a few weeks of French lessons after he failed it in school. And a good friend of mine swears her mother-in-law gifted her baby clothes as an...incentive to get procreating. File them all under: WTF!? What are some of your most memorably unmerry gift moments? Ugly Christmas sweaters? Obvious regifts? Lingerie from an inappropriate relative? Let&amp;#x27;s hear it ladies--what&amp;#x27;s the worst holiday gift you&amp;#x27;ve ever gotten?
