For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

All the chocolate is already down the toilet, or on my waistline.

Ah, the old "either went to waste or went to waist."

I did not receive any Christmas presents this year

Folks finally listened to me when I said "get me something I'll use every day or don't bother, it's wasteful".

My mom got me a sweater, where they accidentally sewed the neck/zipper/ tag part inside out. I’m guessing she bought it online and never looked at it.

I haven't opened any Christmas presents yet. We're having a late Christmas due to crazy schedules for everyone involved.

The in-laws know I love to cook and got me a (to me, they're familiar with the author through some TV show) random cookbook. It's aimed at people who don't know how to cook and lack confidence trying. Also who cook with things like Velveeta and cream of mushroom soup.

I mostly eat from-scratch Asian food.

Had the original floam as a kid. Smelled terrible and didn't stretch at all like in the commercials. Definitely went into the trash and I can only imagine how much worse the kind you had was. Slime or playdoh would have been better or easy to make.

Finished off a thing of oreo caramel with a creamy filling.

My mom bought me a xlarge sweater. She must think I'm fat because I'm large at best.
