There’s nothing quite like the suspense of opening your long-awaited Christmas present. The ribbon comes loose, the paper rips open, and for a brief second, anything could be inside. It’s one of the best feelings in the world.
That’s why it can be especially disappointing when, after all that buildup, you realize the gift in front of you doesn’t live up to your expectations at all, much like Emma Thompson’s character in Love Actually when she unwraps yet another Joni Mitchell CD instead of the jewelry she was hoping for.
Still, as painful as that scene was, it might not be nearly as bad as what some Redditors received. In one thread, they recalled the worst Christmas gifts they’ve ever been given, from used clothes to a stocking filled with coal, and even toilet paper. Scroll down to see just how wild it can get.
