What Not to Say: Opening Christmas Gifts

Don't say that!

We've all been in awkward situations when it comes to Christmas gift-opening time. If you've lived past four-years-old, you've probably received something you hate. Or worse, you've given something that someone else hated, and they make it known to everyone in the room.

Here are just a few funny (but helpful) little tips to remember when giving/receiving gifts this year:

The Giver:

1. I got it at Goodwill
2. It was way out of my price range, but you wanted it.
3. I found that in a lost/found.
4. I left the price tag on there
5. You have such expensive taste.
6. You're cheap to buy for
7. Do you mind trading with so and so? She likes your gift better.
8. I spent X amount on it.

The Receiver:

1. How much did you pay for this?
2. I don't like this. Did you get a gift receipt?
3. That's it?
4. I like her gift better. Do you mind if I trade?
5. I got the worst gift.
6. You can't afford to buy something like this.
7. This isn't the one I wanted.
8. I didn't want a gift.

So, remember your manners. If someone around you says one of these phrases or something similar to them, do your best to change the subject and move on to the next gift!
