Some kids are spoiled rotten. For them, Christmas Sucks

Web Watch loves to participate in any gift-receiving holiday. Christmas, Easter, Hanukah, Arbor Day – you name it, if we’re pretty much guaranteed of getting a gift, we’ll embrace whatever holiday traditions we need to.

Yeah, getting too much stuff is never boring. And as we’ve said previously, we had all our holiday shopping done in just a few hours, but we may have missed getting the Ultimate Christmas Gift for those we were handing out presents to.

Of course, if you followed the OFFICIAL WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE RULES, then you know that sometimes you may be the one who brought The Most Coveted Gift Of The Year, or have been left with a zonk.

What’s the most expensive gift you’ve ever received while dating?

We’ve all gone through the dating thing, right?

And while you’re dating that special someone – whether it be for just a few weeks, a few months, or a year or two – you’ve probably found yourself wanting to buy them a gift of some sort.

Maybe it’s a traditional gift-giving holiday, like Christmas. Or it’s a birthday. You’re celebrating an anniversary of the first time you met or some other special moment. A job promotion, new house, new puppy.

It doesn’t matter what the reason is — the point is, it was time to select a present for your Significant Other.

Which brings up the question: WHAT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE GIFT YOU’VE EVER GIVEN YOUR DATE , or conversely – WHAT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE GIFT YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED WHILE DATING SOMEONE?

Roll of Blue Raffle Tickets: Keep This Ticket

Every year, the question comes up regarding how to properly do a gift exchange at holiday time.

Whether you call it a DIRTY SANTA, WHITE ELEPHANT, YANKEE SWAP, CHINESE AUCTION or something else, the basic concept is the same: everyone brings a gift, throws it into the pile, and then they get distributed out in some random manner, with stealing gifts from other people allowed to some degree.

Web Watch is here to present the OFFICIAL RULES FOR GIFT EXCHANGING that we’ve perfected over the years at our own shindigs. These rules work for us — they should work for you, too.

We’ve got the ultimate list of tacky Christmas light displays right here

Christmas Light Show Music Programming Master 2.0 Holiday Lighting Control Software
Light Show Master 2.0 Holiday Lighting Control Software –
perfect for creating your own Music-Synchronized Holiday Light Display

About 20 years ago, Web Watch was lucky enough to attend a Toys for Tots benefit event, where each new, unwrapped toy allowed you to hop onto a beaten-up school bus with 40 other people and a keg of beer, and drive all over the countryside looking at the area’s craziest Christmas light displays for an hour.

Along the way, the bus driver got lost in the boonies, and the 60-minute scheduled trip ended up taking three hours (requiring an extra stop at a late-night liquor store for additional road supplies and a much-needed bathroom stop). Needless to say, we did our own Tacky Light Tour the following year with much better success at getting home on time.

Fast-forward 20 years, and we can see how the Internet has really changed things dramatically when it comes to viewing Christmas light displays.
