The Gift Rape
What is Gift Rape?
This is when you have a relative who unknowingly gets you something with the best intentions. These gifts can include and not limited to, badly made sweaters, crazy looking shirts, funny looking toys, weird and yet, strangely wondering if it is truly legal gifts. Welcome to the Yuletide Season of GIFT RAPE!
As you sit down watching over and over of "A Christmas Story" and all the Christmas specials in one day deal. And you open the gifts that you hope are to be good, thinking that maybe your family got something that could be useful and fun, then again, you get family and more crazy weirdness.
I have been the victim of Gift Rape, a few years ago, my dearly departed grandmother got me something while still living. As I opened this gift, my heart sank, she got me a navy blue seasonal sweater, when she knew full well I just didn't wear it. My mother and I stared in horror at it, while she had to take a call from Grandma....which was slightly nuts. I had to fake liking it, then as it was hung up, I looked at my sister who was trying to comfort me.
For nearly three years, this gift hid in the back of my closet, each time my mother announced Goodwill run, I would bring it, then suddenly realize that Grandma would find out. I think this was her revenge for my grandfather and I singing "Grandma got Run Over by a Reindeer."
Then again, everyone at one time gets gifts that are otherwise not so wise. The boy, Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" gets gift rape, the ultimate insult for being a boy, a pink bunny suit. So in all cases, Gift Rape will happen to nearly everyone in one point to another.
Just remember as you sit down with your family, some of them are just NUTS relatives who think of the strangest gifts. My uncle is one of those crazy people who actually did ask for a singing Billy-Bob trout. My grandfather did get for Christmas was believe it or not a singing reindeer head that sang, "Grandma got Ran Over by a Reindeer" that was conviently hidden for two years in a closet.
So yes, family, friends, weirdos you know as family, the traditions and the great time to be with family...gift RAPE happens to the best of us all! Happy Christmas from Me and my the New Year be Eventful and fun
