Woman cries after fiancé's family present her with coal as a Christmas gift

A woman who has just spent Christmas with her future husband's family for the first time was driven to the point of tears after realising each and every single one of the 18 presents they'd bought her were in fact just wrapped up pieces of coal.

The bride-to-be, who would usually spend Christmas at her family home, had treated her fiancé Dan to quite an expensive, hobby-related gift, and she'd also bought some nice things for Dan’s parents inspired by previous conversations. For the rest of Dan’s relatives, who she didn't know all that well, she'd bought small packets of chocolates.

As she hasn't yet gotten close to Dan's family, she hadn't expected much in the way of presents, so was surprised and excited to see a huge pile of gifts just for her. Unfortunately, things took an upsetting turn once she began peeling away the wrapping paper.
