‘Tis the season to be jolly!

Yes, it’s that time we’ve all been waiting for — the only time an Atenean would ever want 3 F’s: freedom (from school), family, and food. Yes, it’s Christmas Season! Oh, but I’m forgetting something important. Of course, something that we all really look forward to[JOS1]  during Christmas[JOS2]  are the gifts. Have you been checking out that hot new game? Or been staying up all night fantasizing about the sexiest phone? Or perhaps you just want to cuddle with a soft new pillow? Yes, those all sound like really great presents, and it’s always satisfying to get what you’ve been wishing for; but what about the gifts you DON’T want to receive?

We’ve all had our fair share of disappointing presents. It’s certainly not an entertaining experience, but it’s definitely good for a laugh when you see the kind of outrageous replies people have to this question. Let’s take a look at a few, then, shall we?

“Soap” – Paulo Pascua – 3 BS CS

“Briep (Brief)” – Chino Bayoneta – 2 BS CS

“Toothpaste” – David Tamayo – 4 BS CS

“Lube, box of tissues” – Dennis Villamor – 2BS CS

“fruit cake” – Sabs Constantino – 4 BS CS

“boring clothes -.-” – Andre Tan – 2 BS CS

“A Barbie Doll” – Erika Cerezo – 3 BS CS

There are just some gifts that you want to avoid – from embarrassing ones such as underwear to implicative ones like mouthwash or soap. But when we do receive them, it’s great to have a laugh anyway. At the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts.
